00:00:00,199 --> 00:00:06,000
thank you to Logitech and Discord for sending us to PAX East 2016 this year to

2
00:00:04,359 --> 00:00:10,880
check out all of their stuff check out the link in the video description down below so today at Corsair we're checking

3
00:00:09,120 --> 00:00:18,480
out their Rapid Fire keyboards they have a k70 non RGB they have a K65 RGB and a

4
00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:21,480
k70 RGB now what makes them rapid fire

5
00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:24,000
is the new Cherry MX speed switch so in

6
00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:28,080
the non-RGB ones it's just the MX speed and in the RGB ones it's the MX feed RGB

7
00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:32,680
what makes this switch cool is its activation distance and its total track

8
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:36,840
travel distance so it activates at 1.2 mm instead of the standard 2 mm that you

9
00:00:35,239 --> 00:00:42,600
would find on a cherry switch and its overall travel distance is 3.4 mm

10
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:46,719
instead of the overall normal 4 mm for a cherry switch so normally with most

11
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:51,239
these switches you're pressing it down further and it's actuating further down

12
00:00:48,879 --> 00:00:54,359
the Press which is at exactly halfway and now it's much faster and you can

13
00:00:52,879 --> 00:00:58,440
feel it this is the first time I've been able to try it in person and it is

14
00:00:56,320 --> 00:01:01,920
definitely a faster typing experience in terms of how it feels though

15
00:01:05,799 --> 00:01:12,360
like in terms of how it feels outside of just how far down you have to press it

16
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:17,320
it's pretty much like a Cherry MX red but not exactly it's a 45 G actuation

17
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:21,400
Force just like a Cherry MX red but it does feel heavier and I'm getting the

18
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:26,479
yeah it feels heavier from pretty much everyone that I've talked to that's tried it and some Corsair employees so

19
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:30,240
I'm not entirely sure what's going on there I'd like to look more into that

20
00:01:28,119 --> 00:01:34,040
later on maybe with a quarter test or whatever and then it's also a linear

21
00:01:32,079 --> 00:01:38,000
switch so that part does feel like an MX red personally not my kind of thing

22
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:41,759
although it is really nice to have that fast of a keyboard I do like feeling my

23
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:46,479
actuation Force so I'm still going to lean towards a brown or a blue but I am

24
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:50,759
kind of in a minority as I do believe Cherry MX Reds are the most common

25
00:01:48,759 --> 00:01:55,360
switch out there and if you are a fan of a red switch I would actually recommend

26
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:59,479
this cuz it's faster and it doesn't feel bad at all it's interesting to see this

27
00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:04,759
come on to the market I'm assuming this is ha's answer to the RoR G which is

28
00:02:02,159 --> 00:02:08,920
notorious in a good way for having a fast overall typing experience so we'll

29
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:13,239
see how that response works if you guys are interested check out Corsair.com

30
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:16,920
winar Rapidfire they're giving away three of these Rapidfire keyboards and

31
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:20,239
the contest is going on for about a month so you should be able to enter

32
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:26,319
basically whenever you see this video as long as you're not looking at it in like halfway through 2016 or 2017 or

33
00:02:23,920 --> 00:02:30,080
something like that also if you want a good deal on a keyboard you can get I

34
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:36,239
believe it's 15% off if when you purchase at Corsair.com you use the code

35
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:38,440
PAX East 2016 so I just found that on

36
00:02:36,239 --> 00:02:41,000
like their table somewhere so hopefully they don't mind me telling everyone on

37
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:46,879
the internet that there's a special offer code for PAX East all right guys let me know what you

38
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:50,800
