Article: Hardware Review, Corsair Vengeance K90 Performance MMO Mechanical Gaming Keyboard

[Catamer]

I have the K90 and I like it, I find that once in a while I get heavy fingers and I start moving when I don't mean to, I usually just lift my hand and it stops. I also have a full mechanical Razor Blackwidow on my other PC. I'm going to switch them around and give the Razor a try. I see that there is now a full mechanical K70 available.

They are both very nice keyboards but the Blackwidow has superior key lighting. I absolutely HATE the Razor software and I can't recommend them to anyone for any reason. They want you to logon to their server at startup to look for updates. The keyboard works without the updater but you can't download a new microcode into the keyboard without it. the updater software allows you to program a few keys but I don't use keyboard macros anyway. you have to give your whole life history when you create an account on their server so I really hated doing that.

Yeah my bad experience with the razer software for my mouse took them off the table for consideration when I started shopping for a keyboard.
