00:00:00.199 --> 00:00:06.000
thank you to Logitech and Discord for sending us to PAX East 2016 this year to

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

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

00:00:15.200 --> 00:00:21.480
k70 RGB now what makes them rapid fire

00:00:18.480 --> 00:00:24.000
is the new Cherry MX speed switch so in

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

00:00:26.480 --> 00:00:32.680
what makes this switch cool is its activation distance and its total track

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

00:00:35.239 --> 00:00:42.600
would find on a cherry switch and its overall travel distance is 3.4 mm

00:00:39.800 --> 00:00:46.719
instead of the overall normal 4 mm for a cherry switch so normally with most

00:00:45.280 --> 00:00:51.239
these switches you're pressing it down further and it's actuating further down

00:00:48.879 --> 00:00:54.359
the Press which is at exactly halfway and now it's much faster and you can

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

00:00:56.320 --> 00:01:01.920
definitely a faster typing experience in terms of how it feels though

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

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

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

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

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

00:01:28.119 --> 00:01:34.040
later on maybe with a quarter test or whatever and then it's also a linear

00:01:32.079 --> 00:01:38.000
switch so that part does feel like an MX red personally not my kind of thing

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

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

00:01:44.680 --> 00:01:50.759
kind of in a minority as I do believe Cherry MX Reds are the most common

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

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

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

00:02:02.159 --> 00:02:08.920
notorious in a good way for having a fast overall typing experience so we'll

00:02:06.920 --> 00:02:13.239
see how that response works if you guys are interested check out Corsair.com

00:02:11.080 --> 00:02:16.920
winar Rapidfire they're giving away three of these Rapidfire keyboards and

00:02:15.480 --> 00:02:20.239
the contest is going on for about a month so you should be able to enter

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

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

00:02:28.200 --> 00:02:36.239
believe it's 15% off if when you purchase at Corsair.com you use the code

00:02:32.680 --> 00:02:38.440
PAX East 2016 so I just found that on

00:02:36.239 --> 00:02:41.000
like their table somewhere so hopefully they don't mind me telling everyone on

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

00:02:44.560 --> 00:02:50.800
