Pros & Cons
Pros
Tactile switches feel great on this keyboard and the whole thing feels premium. Optical switches are slightly louder than expected, but they don't disappoint.
The scroll wheel is handy (though it feels cheap). If you are a gamer or a serious power user such as a photo editor or someone that spends alot of time on the computer, this is the keyboard for you. This keyboard is very good for gaming and typing.
The key lighting is perfect during the day and at night. Glare isn't an issue because of the matte finish on the keycaps. Rgb blights are very bright a crystal clear.
Keycaps are lighter and thinner than the default keys. The optical switches are super fast and easy to press. Cherry mx speve k100 keyboard is more than enough.
Cons
Who knows who messed with my keyboard. Corsair dodges the issue by having people pay $50 to send back their keyboards, and returning keyboards that have the exact same issue. Firmware issue from december of 2020 has this board constantly dropping conn... Read More
The keys are incredibly loud and sounds like monkeys on a type writer. I prefer keys that are as quiet as possible, and this keyboard turned out to be very loud and annoying sounding. The key surface is smaller than a usual mx key.
Corsair icue is not as bad as razer synapse but its not much better either. Way overpriced. All the other perks are quite useless and it doesn't come with a detachable usb-c cable.

This is a full-sized full-featured keyboard at a very reasonable price point.
Not nice at all for this price point.
Plus there is really nothing stands out for this price point for me.

Competitiveness
The programmable capabilities are better than any other brand i have used so far.
Although the price is up there comparing to other keyboards, corsair brings it out again with an absolute unit of a machine.
The best and most recent was the microsoft sculpt.
I always had corsair wired keyboard until now and had to switch to another brand for the low-profile feature.

My main downside which is not to the keyboard itself but is towards the corsair icue program is that you cant activate multiple macros at once you cant figure out where your mouse is on the screen to use the mouse moving feature and lastly the quick macro feature doesnt allow clicks or mouse movements to be recorded
