1- I miss any comment about the question if the short/faster actuacion point exacerbates misstyping, which is the most critized MX Reds main issue. This will make lots of buyers stay away from this KB.

2- Another important topic that should be noted is that the K70 Rapidfire sports the same LED controller as the Strafe RGB wich allow the KB leds to show true 16.8M colors with 0 flickering (an issue wich is well know by K70 users).

3- The fact that the USB pass-through still only supports usb 2.1 is very dissapointing. For this, then it would be better to get rid of it in order to slim the current "AC caliber" cable.

4- Corsair is about to launch a 2.0 version of his CUE software (for those who hate it).
