Worth mentioning that SnapTap and similar functions from other companies are already being banned in many competitive shooters, and in terms of Anticheat-detection these types of inputs are easily detected, Don't buy products based on software features that are subject to change. The real benefit to these keyboards is for the people who don't like buying new products often, as the, Avg. Rated Presses for Optical/Hall Effect Switches make the numbers for Mechanical Keyboards look like a joke and Membrane Keyboards which already were far behind Mechanical now don't even qualify as Also-rans. With that said, I'm a bit skeptical about the addition of Silicone sound dampening in this keyboard, as when it inevitably deteriorates it could lead to uneven feeling and sounding keypresses, and maybe even interfere with the optical sensors, doing the complete opposite of what it was "designed" for, since this isn't a custom keyboard where the user is intended to be able to replace and repair parts of it, this has the potential to harm the longevity and vibe of what would be an otherwise long-lasting product. Probably better off going with one from Keychron, Wooting or Razer if Optical/Hall-Effect Keyboards are something you're interested in right now, but you're not wanting to go full custom.
@@AllansRamblings that's good to know, I personally will probably never be able to make use of a feature like this but the fact that it is being banned like a "cheat" is incredibly stupid
I've used a few Corsair keyboards and they've always had too many compromises that are very evident long term. They are doing creative and good things with their design and technology but the price and compromises keep me from staying with them long term. I stay with keychron for the most part. They're priced right, almost no compromise, and they let you customize the keyboard where a company like Corsair will either not let you, or lock that behind a pretty high cost to entry keyboard. I think the main stream companies that are making these boutique keyboards need to see the actual competition and what they are doing, what they're letting consumer do to their keyboards and the price they're selling those keyboards for.
I've been using my 80HE for almost a month now and yeah, you won't need another one Just get wooting people, it's just better in so many little details you have no idea
I have had the 60HE. Might have to get the 80HE. Best friggin keyboard made. The fact that you can update firmware and change all the setting with a web site and not even install an app is amazeballs. Long live Wooting!!!!
It took me a while to notice that this was a ShortCircuit video because the thumbnail that I saw didn't have a LTT worker in it, and after looking at the channel I noticed that I did miss like 3 other videos for the same reason. If I had seen that Plouffe was the one giving is first impression of the keyboard I would have watched it sooner
Seems like Corsair finally decided to fully step up their game after their half-baked recent attempts. Loved Corsair as a brand back then but seeing how they were slacking off recently made me lose confidence in them, but this board seems to be a turning point.
I am so glad I got the wooting 80he, holy hell it sounds amazing, feels amazing, web config, and supporting a small company. No reason at all under any circumstances to get this when you can get the wooting.
8:31 GoXLR was "dead" I guess, but the latest official firmware / software is not even 6 months old at this point afaik. Im using it right now and it all works fine.
I want to thank Corsair guys for noticing the message, and Sir Plouffe for reviewing K70 Pro. I've got my hands on attack shark and fell absolutely in love with hall switches. Looking forward to buy K70 Max - it has numpad!
the only thing with hardware that will make you better is it being more comfortable. as long as its 1k polling and has decent response it will serve you just fine.
I really like companies that do the product has they want it and don't change it based on reviewers opinions, because you are one and we are millions. Take influence on improvement from comments maybe.
Just a heads up, snap tap like features are seen as cheats in some games. CS2 won't be the last to ban it, might as well not overpay for an mid quality keyboard when you can get better quality for less, but without questionable features like that.
I would buy the wooting for the amazing support and firmware, you can use rapid trigger and that alone will feel better than any normal keyboard when gaming
@@kunimitsune177Per definition its a cheat, as it is some form of input automation. Socd/snap tap should not be the reason you buy a HE keyboard. You should get a HE keyboard for the hardware features like rapid trigger and full customization.
Pretty funny that "Corsair" of all companies are the one to miss the boat on snaptap. It certainly pleases me aesthetically though, i think it looks super super nice.
Switched to Razer keyboard from Corsair was the biggest mistake ever! Huntsman v2 will randomly press buttons during games. Like, WASD randomly does it's thing for a few seconds.
Odd not all are same switches, I guess to keep the price lower. But good everyone are making these nowadays. Just wish we get better switches in general. Better stability and lower total travel option would be great.
That wrist rest logo placement is the most absent minded design I’ve ever seen lol. It would look so much better in one of the corners and wouldn’t interfere when using. So silly.
I got the K100, and you never notice or feel the logo placement on the wrist rest. I don't think I ever had a problem using it. When gaming, you're not really thinking about the wrist rest anyways. I've been using the K100 keyboard since it came out as well
8:33 C'mon guys, that post is 1 year old, the GoXlr is still receiving support, a dev team is back working on it. Fact checking, come on, I believe in you
Have they finally figured out that all non-basic keyboards deserve media keys and a VARIABLE VOLUME WHEEL as standard features? 8:00 Jfc Corsair, just volume. Default to volume. Volume control. Mfing volume control.
GOXLR and the GOXLR project is far from dead, team is releasing firmware still and working with the open source community actively. Wish people would do their research before they just randomly peddle misinformation.
I think that's harsh, people are misinformed, and the more mature we can be about giving others understanding, the better we can achieve exactly that, giving understanding. Most people usually aren't peddling misinformation, they aren't typically trying to lie, but everyone is misinformed about something, and so its good to have the second opinion and reasoning, but just as so to understand that we aren't eachothers enemys
an 80he is the same price... much better software, much better customer service/warranty, much more moddable and is actually fully HE.. like thats gotta be the most corporate cash grab attempt at maximising profit margins ive seen in a keyboard in a while. coulda been a good option for like $130 though, but no, corsair is just being corsair again..
What does full he mean? Also the most expensive corsair option is 10 dollars cheaper than the cheapest option of the 80he,and corsair customer support in my experience has been excellent
@ the arrow keys, navigation cluster and f-row are not hall effect, but just normal mechanical switches. And if your experience with corsair has been good then go off of that, ive had an experience that drove me away from corsair but thats just my experience.
i have a strafe mk2 and my pc stopped booting on restart. i had to unplug my keyboard to restart my computer normally. the icue software was doing something that was interfering with the boot. uninstalled it and haven't had problems booting. it was such a nightmare to figure out i will never get another corsair
My problem is I don't type enough to warrant a new keyboard... I mistype often enough on my rather cheap Dell membrane keyboard but without knowing whether it's the board I'm not going to spend nearly 400 bucks on new keyboards. I always use the same at work and at home so you immediately double the cost.
getting used to new keyboard is fair. But dude...membrane...Mechanical proper keys are so much better. If you using basic ass free membrane then you will find it better. Especially if you also game. Oh and 200 each...well if you buy high end sure.
@@RetiredRhetoricalWarhorse Mate its not about good enough. If you havent tried a mechanical keyboard your missing out. Even just laptop keyboards can be C tier or S tier. If you want quiet look into brown or red. Membrane sucks that is all. There are to many brands to list, but go to a store and see if you can find switches of different specs from red to black etc. Avoid blue for noise...Just google this or youtube videos. Its the same thing with ppl who have never tried more than 60 hz, missing out big time.
“I know this is a sponsored video but still…” doesn’t sound great. I know what you mean, but it sounds a little dubious and might be part of why people are so annoying about “being payed to say certain things” and all that
this keyboard gets many extra points for being TKL instead of 75% and having the knob, but not being compatible with open software like VIA takes away half of them
@@ashleigh. Yeah, I don't really use the knob either, I have a separate volume control I would use. I don't really use scroll lock or pause/break, but I use printscreen, delete, home and end all the time. Insert is used occasionally but not as much. When I was programming regularly I used it all the time though. Luckily I do have a separate numberpad that I can replace all of that with.
I seriously cannot stand loud keyboards. I sold my membrane to get a scissor switch keyboard. I would love a recommendation of a quiet/silent keyboard that is pretty decent/good.
Wait why have they not tought to put a battery bank in the wristrest for extra time away for a wireless keyboard wouldnt that be helpfull or does it just not matter cause the computers right thier.😅
Does Corsair support automatic per-game profile switching in their software? I'm getting tired of Logitech's shitty app, looking to switch to something else. Steelseries looks good.
Unfortunately, the best keyboard brands (keychron, steelseries, ...) are smaller and can't carry layouts for smaller countries like Belgium, so we're always stuck with the big guys like Corsair or Logitech.
Ive got the K70 MkII from Corsair and its been great, but it kinda sounded like shit. I put a full set of PCMR pudding keycaps on and it made it sound so much nicer, still not great but better. Im no keyboard snob, by a long shot, but this new K70 tkl sounds good, and honestly ive been debating on going down to a tkl from a fullsize. Maybe its time. Ugh, idk, i still wanna build my own keyboard someday
For people complaining about how this hardware is not cheating, one could consider that having everyone switch to nonstandard hardware that is in most cases way more expensive than the standard would be unfair for those who can’t afford it. They’re banned because they do offer a substantial advantage in the competitive scene. Feel free to correct me if I got something wrong… or the whole thing wrong 👀
Scripting is banned in most every e-sports scene. The keyboard feature is a script. The hardware is cheating because it allows inputs that no human can do. If that isn’t cheating, then having a program click on your opponents head also “isn’t cheating”. People who say that are idiots.
Question to the keyboard people. Do you not wear a headset majority of the time? 99% of the time im wearing headphones so i dont even hear my keyboard.
i've had corsair keyboards, the k65 and the k65 mini and they both have faults with the space bar and other keys not registering everytime. So im inclined to never buy another corsair keyboard.
To be honest keyboards should all work like this: As soon as you press down, it registers as a press. As soon as you lift you finger, it registers as a release. No matter how far it was pressed or released before. That's not cheating, that just proper input management. And how you handle n-key-rollover (if this so the correct term here) should also be the user's choice. Either send all pressed keys simultaneously (n-key rollover) or just the last one (proper gaming peripheral). That's not cheating but again just proper input management. 0-key rollover would then be kinda like only sending the first pressed key. This would be useful when simulating a typewriter, but since it is an option, it should therefor at least be an option for the user.
And it wouldn't even be cheating it you can manage your n-key rollover settings individually from key to key. Because if that isn't allowed, it should also not be allowed to change keybinds in the first place.
n-key rollover just means keys can be registered simultaneously. my old IBM model M for example only has 2-key rollover (any 2 keys can be registered at once) but it really depends on the actual matrix. it can register way more than that but if one of the keys blocks part of the matrix for another it won't register. holding e+r, the f key will not register for example but ctrl+shift+space all do
@zerorig yes, I know. Being able to a handle all keys and sending them simultaneously, is n-key rollover. Sending only the first key and ignoring the rest, is 0-key rollover. But what would be the equivalent, if only the last one is send? -1 key rollover? Besides that though, all 3 should should an option the user can select in the software, from key to key individually.
Reminder to folks that's esports fps are not the game genre that exists. Yes halleffect features are banned in quite a few of them, no that does not make the tech worthless. High pull rate hall effect keyboards have been big in the rythm game (esp OSU) for a good few years now, not to mention any number of single player/less competitive games. Don't get me wrong I still think something from Wooting who pretty much does just HE boards is a better move than investing in a Jack of All trades oem like corsair for this more niche market. Regardless let's not posture as if folks are cheating just because they own gear that utilizes tech that has perfectly innocuous use cases along side its nefarious ones
Hall-Effect/Optical Switches are amazing tech for keyboards, the longevity of them are leaps and bounds above Mechanical. With Membrane Switches being found dead in a ditch down the road. The problem is Companies are trying to jump on the SnapTap/Rappy/Tappy/RapidTrigger/insertSoftwareBasedInputCancelingFeature here bandwagon and pushing it as a big selling poin. It's basically the modern day "Turbo Controller in Fighting Games" dilemma.
And also in OSU there is already someone banned for using snaptap, Karl Jobst made a video about it. My opinion is that its not cheating, but heey, im a nobody.
I hate this trend of replacing print screen/scroll lock/pause with media keys, I use the fuck out of those keys. You're not a TKL, as you've taken away more than the numpad, you're 3 keys short godamnit!
I haven't thought about purchasing HE keyboards because I'm not much of an FPS players and wouldn't really benefit from it, the choices of switches are still limited, and they don't sound as good as mechanical.
Plouffe, you are the keyboard guru. In another life we were besties. I'm thinking we were door knob experts in the 1800's. Turnin those knobs look for that perfect sound and feel. We probably had buckets of brass knobs.
Here's an idea: don't pay extra for the keycaps from Corsair, and buy a keycap set from a third party... say Drop. Big W for Corsair, doing what Logitech are too coward to do, and using industry standard switches and keycaps so you can actually replace them. Infuriates me to no end that Logitech make $200-400 keyboards like their G915 TKL Lightspeed to be 100% proprietary with no replacement keycaps to be found whatsoever. They don't even provide the CAD files for you to 3D print some yourself. Big L for Corsair though, for not adding a battery and not making it wireless. There is literally no disadvantage of wireless keyboards and mice these days. I'd have bought this keyboard in an instant to replace my G915 TKL... IF ONLY IT WAS WIRELESS.
Because of how popular mechanical keyboards have become in recent years or even year, factory lube and even just prebuilt in general has come to like 90 or even 95% of customs
hard to go wrong with a solid knob
it has a really nice feel
There speaks a man of experience 😂

Wish it was fullsize, I can't do TKL, I need a numpad
Ive got the K70 MkII from Corsair and its been great, but it kinda sounded like shit. I put a full set of PCMR pudding keycaps on and it made it sound so much nicer, still not great but better. Im no keyboard snob, by a long shot, but this new K70 tkl sounds good, and honestly ive been debating on going down to a tkl from a fullsize. Maybe its time. Ugh, idk, i still wanna build my own keyboard someday
For people complaining about how this hardware is not cheating, one could consider that having everyone switch to nonstandard hardware that is in most cases way more expensive than the standard would be unfair for those who can’t afford it. They’re banned because they do offer a substantial advantage in the competitive scene. Feel free to correct me if I got something wrong… or the whole thing wrong 👀
@@normi0 SOCD/snaptap isn't banned because of the advantage it gives, it's banned because it automates inputs.
Scripting is banned in most every e-sports scene. The keyboard feature is a script. The hardware is cheating because it allows inputs that no human can do. If that isn’t cheating, then having a program click on your opponents head also “isn’t cheating”. People who say that are idiots.
Question to the keyboard people. Do you not wear a headset majority of the time? 99% of the time im wearing headphones so i dont even hear my keyboard.
what do you mean "good enough"? I have a $2 dell keyboard
lmao "i love the hue of the color"
i've had corsair keyboards, the k65 and the k65 mini and they both have faults with the space bar and other keys not registering everytime. So im inclined to never buy another corsair keyboard.
"Aluminating" - I see what you did there... 😅
So this or 500 Asus azoth extreme with their 8k pulling
To be honest keyboards should all work like this: As soon as you press down, it registers as a press. As soon as you lift you finger, it registers as a release. No matter how far it was pressed or released before.
That's not cheating, that just proper input management.
And how you handle n-key-rollover (if this so the correct term here) should also be the user's choice.
Either send all pressed keys simultaneously (n-key rollover) or just the last one (proper gaming peripheral).
That's not cheating but again just proper input management.
0-key rollover would then be kinda like only sending the first pressed key. This would be useful when simulating a typewriter, but since it is an option, it should therefor at least be an option for the user.
And it wouldn't even be cheating it you can manage your n-key rollover settings individually from key to key. Because if that isn't allowed, it should also not be allowed to change keybinds in the first place.
n-key rollover just means keys can be registered simultaneously.
my old IBM model M for example only has 2-key rollover (any 2 keys can be registered at once) but it really depends on the actual matrix.
it can register way more than that but if one of the keys blocks part of the matrix for another it won't register. holding e+r, the f key will not register for example but ctrl+shift+space all do
@zerorig yes, I know. Being able to a handle all keys and sending them simultaneously, is n-key rollover.
Sending only the first key and ignoring the rest, is 0-key rollover.
But what would be the equivalent, if only the last one is send? -1 key rollover?
Besides that though, all 3 should should an option the user can select in the software, from key to key individually.
Reminder to folks that's esports fps are not the game genre that exists. Yes halleffect features are banned in quite a few of them, no that does not make the tech worthless. High pull rate hall effect keyboards have been big in the rythm game (esp OSU) for a good few years now, not to mention any number of single player/less competitive games. Don't get me wrong I still think something from Wooting who pretty much does just HE boards is a better move than investing in a Jack of All trades oem like corsair for this more niche market.
Regardless let's not posture as if folks are cheating just because they own gear that utilizes tech that has perfectly innocuous use cases along side its nefarious ones
Hall-Effect/Optical Switches are amazing tech for keyboards, the longevity of them are leaps and bounds above Mechanical. With Membrane Switches being found dead in a ditch down the road.
The problem is Companies are trying to jump on the SnapTap/Rappy/Tappy/RapidTrigger/insertSoftwareBasedInputCancelingFeature here bandwagon and pushing it as a big selling poin.
It's basically the modern day "Turbo Controller in Fighting Games" dilemma.
And also in OSU there is already someone banned for using snaptap, Karl Jobst made a video about it.
My opinion is that its not cheating, but heey, im a nobody.
corsair k70 max *VS* razer huntsman v3 pro
The recent voice overs in LTT and here have been jarring
So far Icue is the easiest to use software ive found. Only thing I dont like about it is that is a closed environment
I hate this trend of replacing print screen/scroll lock/pause with media keys, I use the fuck out of those keys. You're not a TKL, as you've taken away more than the numpad, you're 3 keys short godamnit!
But easy to go wrong with a Corsair keyboard. : D
I haven't thought about purchasing HE keyboards because I'm not much of an FPS players and wouldn't really benefit from it, the choices of switches are still limited, and they don't sound as good as mechanical.
Surprise ASM "SILICONE" ^^

Plouffe, you are the keyboard guru. In another life we were besties. I'm thinking we were door knob experts in the 1800's. Turnin those knobs look for that perfect sound and feel. We probably had buckets of brass knobs.
Here's an idea: don't pay extra for the keycaps from Corsair, and buy a keycap set from a third party... say Drop. Big W for Corsair, doing what Logitech are too coward to do, and using industry standard switches and keycaps so you can actually replace them.
Infuriates me to no end that Logitech make $200-400 keyboards like their G915 TKL Lightspeed to be 100% proprietary with no replacement keycaps to be found whatsoever. They don't even provide the CAD files for you to 3D print some yourself.
Big L for Corsair though, for not adding a battery and not making it wireless. There is literally no disadvantage of wireless keyboards and mice these days. I'd have bought this keyboard in an instant to replace my G915 TKL... IF ONLY IT WAS WIRELESS.
Makes me want to try using something other than my 10 year old Logitech k360... but I won't haha
KEYBOARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
4:39 Bro?
What even is the point of this at that price point? Ok if it was max 100$, but at this price you better off adding 20$ for a real wooting instead.
where the jokes about this man's keyboard costing more than his car?
180 bucks for rattle. No thanks.
Because of how popular mechanical keyboards have become in recent years or even year, factory lube and even just prebuilt in general has come to like 90 or even 95% of customs
