Corsair Vengeance K90 Mechanical Gaming Keyboard @ £94.99 inc VAT

KB-002-CS_400.jpg


Cherry® MX Red key switches are the best of the best — they provide the sensitivity and low operating force that professional gamers love. Reaction times are ulra-fast and responsive for quicker double and triple taps. The action is predictable and linear unlike lesser gaming keyboards that have a tactile bump or the annoying click of a typist’s keyboard.
Easily access to your most frequently used macros, presets and key combinations even during the most intense action. You can record up to 54 programmable functions accessible from three separate banks, ideal for grouping macros by function, or access. Macros can be created on-the-fly, customized, and activated with a single keystroke.
Our expertly designed anti-ghosting technology provides flawless control even when you're pressing multiple keys at once. The K90 has individual switches with dedicated diodes for each switch so every key press results in an input and is 100% ghost free without tradeoff or compromise.
Typical USB gaming keyboards are limited to the USB standard six-key rollover. The K90 features increased performance with a 20-key rollover implementation on USB at a blazing fast 1ms (1000 reports per second) reporting rate.
The rugged aluminum chassis provides increased durability and stability compared those that are primarily plastic. The stiff suspension chassis and the laser etched keys are made for durability so they won't degrade over time. And the K90 has over 90 LEDs that provide outstanding illumination even in dim light.
Create up to 50 profiles and share, import and export macros with the Vengeance keyboard gaming software. It's a free download at corsair.com.
On-board memory lets you take it with you
36Kb of memory built into the K90 lets you take your customizations and profiles with you and use them on any system.

The ESC and F1-F12 keys and printscreen/scroll/pause/insert/home/page up/page down/end/deleted keys are membraned keys
 
in the grand scheme of things that doesn't matter.

the keys you type on and use loads are mechanical and that is the main thing,

the membrane switches are totally fine for the switches that you don't use often or during normal typing or gaming.

I use F keys and ESC frequently! Even more so in the OS! £95 is a nice price but for a little extra you could have full proper switches on all keys.

While some may not use them or care for them on those keys what happens when they do break? Their lifetime will be much less than the mechanicals. Do you dump the whole KB or just live with broken keys in some places to continue using the mechanicals?
