If these keyboards didn't cost as much as my entire Phanteks Eclipse P200S Tempered Glass case, they might be worth upgrading from my Microsoft Sidewinder x4 keyboard that is still like new after 9 years of heavy use and only cost me $35. And it doesn't even have Cherry switches. Big time no. You can get driverless, softwareless keyboards with knockoff switches on Amazon for nearly half this price.

These /are/ knockoff switches. They're Kailh. lmao.. You can actually get a Cherry switch keyboard for this price, so why buy it? You can get a Corsair keyboard with Cherry switches for $79.99 on Amazon right now.

alphamachinaHello alphamachina Nice comparison of the keyboards although you would be missing out on the RGB lighting with the keyboard mentioned.

AzioCorpHere ya go, take your pic. Either Cherry switches or RGB, but not both for a decent price, or even what you would expect--a combination of these two prices: If a full RGB keyboard is $49.99, and a full Cherry MX keyboard is $79.99, then why are full RGB Cherry switch keyboards all $175+? Shouldn't at least one of Corsair's RGB Cherry MX keyboards be $130? Makes no sense.
Azio definitely has everyone else beat in that regard. I've heard of people being disappointed in Kailh switches for failing not long into their use, but I've also read that Kailh has improved their quality control, so maybe that's mostly a thing of the past.
$49.99: https://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Gaming-K55-Keyboard-Backlit/dp/B01M4LIKLI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1492779670&sr=8-1&keywords=corsair+K50
$79.99: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B012B6X7MI/ref=twister_B01N8XHJUU?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
$169.99 (shouldn't this be $40 less?): https://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Gaming-Mechanical-Keyboard-Backlit/dp/B014W1Z4LC/ref=sr_1_9?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1492780090&sr=1-9&keywords=corsair+k70

AzioCorpSomeone deleted their comment. I was replying to someone before, but now they're gone. Oh well. Just makes me look like a crazy person.

AzioCorpBut, all-in-all your main competitor would be Logitech and not Corsair. I've heard good things about their Romer-G switches. And, to be clear, I'm not trying to sway people from buying Azio or Kailh--I'm just trying to make sure they understand they have options and that they should do their research, even though the only real way to know what you like is to try it (that seems to always favor the seller and not the consumer.) That way Azio isn't dealing with returns and people aren't dealing with something they dislike, or truly like, but only because they didn't know there might be something better for them.

alphamachinaNot really a difference between khail and cherry. Khail has switches that are just like Cherrys. I have a keyboard with cherry's (Corsiar) and a keyboard with khail (razer) and if you were blindfolded you wouldn't be able to tell a difference. The khail's actually improve on cherrys for gaming purposes. They have a better actuation point and they are rated to last longer. I haven't had trouble with either and actually prefer my keyboard with the khails.

alphamachinaA bit late to the party, but Corsair themselves do have a full RGB, Cherry MX keyboard at ~$120 :)
