Quality not up to scratch, exorbitant price.
What can I say?
extremely fragile, poor-quality keys that break and squeak after a few months. The keys stay depressed and even activate when you brush against them...
I have to admit, though, that Corsair's quality hasn't been the same for some time now. This isn't the first of their recent products on which I've had problems with wear and tear or poor workmanship. I'm thinking for example of their latest fans, "Corsair iCUE LINK QX140" (ultra expensive) which, at full speed, scrape the edges and make a shrill noise.
Let's be clear, this is clearly one more malfunction that is likely to reappear even if I get a new one.
As for the battery, it lasts a long time at first but seems to weaken relatively quickly.
I know that a gameboy advance sp released in 2023, (for those who have the reference) is not comparable, because it did not support as many background processes, but turning it back on 10 years later and without intermediate recharging, there was still battery and more than 1 prct ...
In terms of visual novelties, flat keys (which I'd been waiting for for years), flat keyboard and 4 addressable keys (really not enough, especially when you're coming from a good old K95, which was still of good quality)...
(I've left the last few typos as an example of what you'll get 3 months after purchase, no this is not a simulation). See for yourself how my x, m and z keys stay depressed and out of alignment.
In short, since Corsair's IPO in 2020, it's been nothing but Instagrammable marketing and false promises, a big disappointment.
