thank you to Logitech and discord for sending us to PAX East 2016 this year to check out all of their stuff check out the link in the video description down below so today Corsair we're checking out their rapid-fire keyboards they have a k70 non RGB they have a case 65 RGB and a k70 RGB now what makes them rapid-fire is the new cherry MX speed switch so in the non RGB once it's just the MX speed and in the RGB ones it's the MX feed RGB what makes this switch cool is its activation distance and its total travel distance so it activates at one point two millimeters instead of the standard two millimeters that you would find on a cherry switch and its overall travel distance is three point four millimeters instead of the overall normal four millimeters for a cherry switch so normally with mostly switches you're pressing it down further and it's actuated further down the press which is exactly half way and now it's much faster and you can feel it this is the first time I've been able to try it in person and it is definitely a faster typing experience in terms of how it feels though into like in terms of how it feels side of just how far down you have to press it it's pretty much like a cherry MX red but not exactly it's a 45 Grand actuation force just like a cherry MX right but it does feel heavier and I'm getting the yeah it feels heavier from pretty much everyone that I've talked to that's fried it and some Corsair employees so I'm not entirely sure what's going on there I'd like to look more into that later on maybe with the corridor test or whatever and then it's also a linear switch so that part does feel like an MX red personally not my kind of thing although it is really nice to have that faster the keyboard I do like feeling my actuation force so I'm still going to lean towards a brown or a blue but I am kind of in a minority as I do believe Cherry MX Reds are the most common switch out there and if you are a fan of a red switch I would actually recommend this because it's faster and it doesn't feel bad at all it's interesting to see this come on to the market I'm assuming this is Corsairs answer to the Romer G which is notorious in a good way for having a fast overall typing experience so we'll see how that response works if you guys are interested check out Corsair comm slash win a rapid-fire they're giving away three of these rapid-fire keyboards and the contest is going on for about a month so you should be able to enter basically whenever you see this video as long as you're not looking at it in like halfway through 2016 or 2017 or something like that also if you want a good deal on a keyboard you can get I believe it's 15% off if when you purchase at Corsair comm you use the code PAX East 2016 so I just found that on like their table somewhere so hopefully they don't mind me telling everyone on the internet that there's a special offer code for PAX East alright guys let me know what you think of the Cherry MX speed on twitter at luke underscore la FR or in the comments down below on this video thank you again for Logitech for sending us here this year if you want to see all of their products like racing wheels and keyboards and mice and headsets and all that kind of stuff check them out in the link in the video description down below also thank you to discord you're awesome and have like free voice and chat servers and we're like hey you guys should like go to PAX East little spots stuff I don't know they're pretty cool they're also in the link the video description down below you want to check out them I'll be awesome you subscribed you want to see all the rest of our pack C's 2016 content and I'll see you next time
