I'd get something cheaper with third-party MX Blue or Red clone switches before I'd pay more for the less engineered Cherry Viola switches.

I have the $45 Tecware Phantom Elite with red switches. I've had a lot of different budget friendly mechanical keyboards and it's fantastic. I know this is a good price for this keyboard but if it was someone asking me, I'd get the red switch Tecware ($45) and a Logitech G502 Hero ($40) or the Redragon M607 ($18) which I also like.

I have ~5 of these keyboards and each one of them has a different set of keys that the LEDs are out of sync or bad on. Corsair just kept sending new ones each time it happened.

Corsair's hardware is top-tier, but their software can be problematic. On some of my older but capable devices, iCue can bring my system to a standstill until I reset the computer.

iCue is terrible. 100% agree.

I use the Corsair STRAFE RGB MK.2 Mechanical Gaming Keyboard

While the iCUE software is much more stable these days for me. No crashing in quiet awhile I do have an issue where my ASUS Z490i motherboard does not recognize it when bootin up. Once Windows 10 is up it works fine. Have not tested my other Corsaid RGB keyboard (K65 to see if this also has the issue.

Will try Logitech for my next Keyboard. as I am slowly migrating and no G HUB issues so far.

I've had this keyboard for about 8 months. It started off well enough, but now I have key chatter, mostly on the space bar (often adds one to three extra spaces). Other keys are starting to show similar behavior. Tried everything from cleaning to reseating keys, and none have worked. Contacted Corsair warranty and never heard back. I would avoid this and spend your money on another keyboard.

Usually those switches don't last I had many "cheap" third party switches and end up buying two keyboards every 1.5 years or less.

Hi Jake, any links to that keyboard? I dont see the red (elite) in Amazon or Newegg.

Thanks!

EDIT: Found one red, is it this one? https://www.amazon.com/Tecware-Ph...B079HQM71L

The Phantom Elite isn't sold in the U.S. for some reason. I have the Spectre Pro and it's absolutely fantastic. Tecware makes good equipment.
