Oof…. Don’t know how to feel about this one.

I’ve found some good keyboards and accessories from Massdrop/Drop before and they have good headphones with their HD6XX line.

But I feel that with this, that’s going to end in favor of pushing Corsair’s own products instead.

Same. pretty sure this will just turn into a marketing arm to sell cut-down versions of keyboards that corsair would otherwise have a hard time moving.

I've gotten mechanical keyboards from corsair, logitech (wireless), redragon, ASUS, CoolerMaster and ducky.

The only ones i'd actually recommend are redragon (cheap) and ducky (not so cheap).

I do have a soft spot for my cm storm though. it's very old and has absurdly light keypresses for a cherry mx brown. It's got a bad trace or something though, so it's just in line to have its keyswitches desoldered when I get around to it most likely.
