Corsair Vengeance K90 Testing Methodology The best way to test a keyboard isn’t with benchmarks or statistics – it’s about real world use. I used the keyboard for two weeks, using it for every game I played as well as all of my work as a blogger. Indeed, this very review was written on it. These games were used: - StarCraft II - Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 - Battlefield 3 - The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim - Unreal Tournament 2004 - World of Tanks Results Gaming The most important feature for any mechanical keyboard is the type of switches used. According to the Reviewer’s Guide issued with the K90, Cherry MX Red switches are the best kind of switches for gaming, compared with Blue, Black or Brown. This is a highly debatable point – things are much less cut and dry than this, and it’s mostly a question of personal preference. [For a good rundown, check out the Overclock guide. Red switches are characterised by their low actuation force and linear action. That means that the keys can be pressed down quite easily, reducing the latency. It also means that it’s more important to be accurate in your key presses; as the keys can be pressed accidentally more easily due to the lower force required.¬†Linear action is also perfectly acceptable for a gaming keyboard, but it is again a question of taste – you might prefer additional feedback via an audible click (Blues) or a tactile bump (Browns). With this in mind, I personally found the Red switches quite fine. While my preference is for the tactile bump found in Brown and Blue switches, the light touch of Red switches are a nice bonus that make rapid actions very easy. While I made more mistaken keypresses in StarCraft II, I was also able to maintain a slightly higher APM then I did normally which counteracted this. The keyboard’s red switches seemed slightly more at home in shooters, where making mistakes due to a typo was less likely. While I’m not a massive fan of macro keys, these seemed to be the best possible implementation. They’re hard to hit accidentally, still within easy reach, and give you more than enough options with 18 keys and 3 profiles for 54 keys in total. The software is also quite powerful, allowing you to easily construct as complex or as simple macros as you require. The decision to spend more on the PCB to allow for 20 KRO, the maximum possible over USB, elevates the K90 over cheaper keyboards from Western brands such as the Razer BlackWidow. While WASD-optimisation is acceptable, it’s sometimes problematic for gamers that use a different cluster or play games that require more simultaneous key use than others. The back-lighting is also a small benefit for late-night gaming. A choice of four levels is also welcome, as it means that you’re not forced to choose between being blinded or not seeing the keys at all. The disable-Windows-key button is also a welcome addition, as many games don’t offer this functionality as standard and there’s nothing worse than accidentally being booted back to the desktop at a critical moment. One disappointment is that not all of the keys are mechanical switches, with the function keys, macro keys and insert/delete cluster instead using more normal rubber domes. While it’s easy to see why this decision has been made with the high cost of mechanical switches, it still does make it difficult to hit that odd function key or macro key during gameplay. It’s not the end of the world by any means, but it is a point against the Corsair K90. Overall, this is an excellent keyboard for gaming, sporting effective red mechanical switches and a solid design. If you’d prefer a keyboard without macro keys, then the lower-priced Corsair Vengeance K60 may appeal to you (review on that forthcoming). Typing As with all other mechanical keyboards I’ve tried, typing performance far exceeds that of a rubber dome keyboard. While Red switches aren’t ideal for typing, as they lack the tactile bump of Browns or the audible click of Blues, their lightness does make them a good choice for long typing sessions. While writing this review on the K90 has proceeded just fine, upon using my Filco Majestouch 2 with Browns, I’ve got to say I prefer the typing experience of the Filco overall. Still, if you’re upgrading from a rubber dome keyboard, then this certainly going to make writing more comfortable and satisfying. They say once you go mechanical you never go back, and the K90 is no exception. Comfort The low actuation force of the Red mechanical switches makes this a good keyboard to recommend for comfort. The wrist rest also plays a large part in ensuring that long-term use is quite comfortable, so I’d advise using it if you’ve got the space. As far as the design goes, there’s nothing to complain about in terms of comfort – indeed, I’d say this is one of the most comfortable to use keyboards I’ve yet tried. Media Keys The media keys are one area which I cannot praise enough on this keyboard. As well as being well placed on the right hand side of the keyboard, making them easy to access, they’re also arranged quite logically. I’m not a big fan of buttons of differing sizes, so having all five buttons be the same size is a great benefit. Where typical keyboard volume buttons have a tendency to be imprecise because of their digital input, the roller works excellently to provide proper analog input. This means you can move quickly from maximum to minimum volume, as well as perform more fine-grained adjustments by rolling slowly. This is also a very space efficient design, and I’m surprised it’s not found on more high-end keyboards.

Corsair bhfeice K60 Tástáil Modheolaíocht Mar tá mé cinnte go bhfuil tú chuala cheana, tá cúpla tagarmharcanna ar fáil le haghaidh méarchláir, agus mar sin i gcónaí iad a thástáil le taithí in áit suibiachtúla. Chuir mé an méarchlár trína paces ar feadh cúpla seachtain, ag baint úsáide as é do oibre agus cluichíochta. Seo iad na cluichí a imrítear mé san am: - Star Wars: Poblacht na Sean (MMO) - Starcraft II: Wings na Saoirse (RTS) - Catha 3 (CCT) - Call of Duty: cogaío Nua-3 (CCT) - Heroes de Newerth (MOBA) Torthaí Chearrbhachas Mar is amhlaidh le méarchláir is meicniúil, is é an K60 oiriúnacht le haghaidh cearrbhachais síos ar a rogha lasca. Is iad na lasca Dearg in úsáid anseo éadrom, rud a ligeann doubletaps tapaidh agus luas maith tríd is tríd. D'fhéadfadh go mbeadh a gcuid bhfeidhm actuation íseal fadhb do roinnt, mar go bhfuil sé réasúnta éasca a brúigh an eochair mícheart ná mar atá sé le lasca stiffer meicniúil nó domes rubair. Le haghaidh teidil CCT, áit a bhfuil luas níos tábhachtaí ná cruinneas i dtaca leis seo, an lasca dearg iontach oiriúnach. Cluichí MOBA ag obair go maith freisin ar an méarchlár mar go mbainfidh tú de ghnáth ach amháin an cnaipe ceithre heochracha a fhreagraíonn do gach ceann de do laoch na ceithre geasa, ionas gur féidir leat a choimeád do mhéar díreach sa phost. Is féidir gamers RTS agus MMO aimsiú a chur ar athrú Gorm, Brown nó Dubh fearr chun an lasc Dearg ar fáil ar an K60, mar a bhfuil na stiffer agus typos a dhéanamh níos deacra a thiomnú de thaisme. Fós, beidh sé seo le haghaidh typists cruinn méarchlár ag obair ach fíneáil le haghaidh teidil RTS agus MMO. Is iad na keycaps dearg chomh maith go leor handy, a ligeann duit níos éasca áit do lámh san áit cheart. Ní raibh mé ag teacht ar an keycap ar uigeacht a bheith go háirithe níos úsáidí ná na cinn bhunaidh, ach rinne siad cuma sách deas agus thug sé an-cluichíochta-centric cuma. (Má tá tú imreoir Zerg i Starcraft 2, d'fhéadfá a mheas ag baint úsáide as ach an 'S', 'D', '4 'agus '5' eochracha leis an keycaps nua, ach a mbeadh sé éasca a morph drones agus roghnaigh do Queens / gorlanna.) Elevates an cinneadh a chaitheamh níos mó ar an PCB chun ligean do 20 KRO, an t-uasmhéid is féidir níos mó ná USB, an K60 thar méarchláir níos saoire ó bhrandaí an Iarthair mar shampla an BlackWidow Razer. Cé go bhfuil WASD-leas iomlán a bhaint inghlactha, tá sé uaireanta fadhbanna le haghaidh gamers go n-úsáideann braisle éagsúil nó le haghaidh cluichí a imirt a éilíonn úsáid níos comhuaineach eochair ná a chéile. An cheist ach fíor go raibh mé nuair a bhí cearrbhachas a dhéanamh leis na heochracha neamh-mheicniúil fáil sa tsraith Feidhm agus Ionsáigh / braisle Scrios. Cé gur úsáid mé na heochracha infrequently, bhí sé offputting a aistriú ó na dteagmháil an-éadrom ar an lasca meicniúla ar an domes rubair stiffer, agus fuair mé amach go bhfuil mé nach raibh uaireanta brúigh deacair go leor ar na heochracha rubair don phreas a chlárú. Tar éis an úsáid a bhaint as an méarchlár (agus a dheartháir, an K90) ar feadh tamaill, tháinig seo i bhfad níos lú a eisiúint ach níor chuir sé mé amach ar dtús. Tríd is tríd cé is cosúil, an K60 breá oiriúnach le haghaidh CCT agus teidil MOBA, agus gan ach beagán níos lú amhlaidh chun RTS agus cluichí MMO. Má bhí an méarchlár ar fáil le rogha de lasca, ansin ba mhaith liom a mholadh sé níos go hiomlán do na seánraí - tá súil againn go bhfuil Corsair a thabhairt amach cineálacha éagsúla athrú sa todhchaí. D'fhéadfadh sé a bheith ina smaoineamh maith chun triail a bhaint as cara na Silíní MX méarchlár athrú Red dtús, mar ní bheidh gach duine teacht ar an bhfeidhm actuation éadrom cabhrach. Scríbhneoireacht Is é an K60 méarchlár scríbhinn réasúnta. Cé nach bhfuil na Silíní MX lasca Dearg an t-aiseolas tadhaill agus cliceáil lasca Brown agus Gorm, siad ar fáil fós le taithí scríbhinn maith mar gheall ar a n-Gile. Mar sin féin, is féidir é seo a dhéanamh freisin typos níos éasca a dhéanamh; má tá tú seans maith go typos ansin is féidir leat teacht ar méarchlár stiffer (a úsáideann lasca Dubh nó Blue) ar oiriúnach níos fearr. Is é an méarchlár fós níos fearr do clóscríobh ná aon cruinneachán rubar amháin Bainim úsáid, agus déanfar freastal ort go maith lena n-úsáid gnáth i scimeáil ar an idirlíon, tuarascálacha a scríobh agus a leithéidí. Tá sé seo fíor fiú leis an keycaps dearg ar; nach bhfuil siad a fháil i ndáiríre ar an mbealach a úsáid ó lá go lá. Eochracha Meáin Is iad na heochracha meáin réimse amháin nach féidir liom a mholadh go leor ar an méarchlár. Chomh maith le bheith suite go maith ar thaobh na láimhe deise den méarchlár, iad a dhéanamh éasca rochtain a fháil, tá siad ag eagrú chomh maith go leor loighciúil. Níl mé ar lucht leanúna mór de cnaipí de mhéideanna éagsúla, mar sin ag gach cúig acu ar an méid céanna is tairbhe mór. I gcás ina bhfuil cnaipí toirt tipiciúil méarchlár claonadh ann a bheith míchruinn mar gheall ar a n-ionchur digiteach, oibríonn an sorcóir excellently a chur ar fáil ionchur aschur cuí. Ciallaíonn sé seo gur féidir leat gluaiseacht go tapa ó uasta chun toirt íosta, chomh maith le níos mó fíneáil-grained coigeartuithe a dhéanamh ag rolladh go mall. Tá sé seo freisin le dearadh spás an-éifeachtach, agus tá mé iontas nach bhfuil sé le fáil ar níos mó ard-deireadh méarchláir. Chompord A bhuíochas leis an lasca éadrom meicniúil, is é an K60 an pléisiúr a úsáid ar feadh tréimhsí fada. Scríobhadh an t-athbhreithniú ar fad ar an méarchlár, agus fiú tar éis roinnt uaireanta an chloig nach bhfuil mé ag noticing aon phian nó tenderness. Beidh an easpa de chuid eile wrist iomlán annoy éigin, ach is foirfe do cluichí is mó, go háirithe CCT. Nach bhfuil clóscríobh gan an chuid eile wrist iomlán idéalach, ach beidh úsáideoirí a mheasann an mór ina éagmais dócha féin cheana féin wrist wrest d'fhéadfaí a úsáid in ionad an amháin ar fáil.
