I bought this keyboard a couple months ago. Important notes, Their reviews on their site are controlled. I submitted a review voicing my frustrations with their customer service and they won't list it. It goes through a "screening process" before it shows up. So while I like the keyboard, I have some problems with how they treated me as a customer and their ethics. Their responses to me were slow and lacking any meaningful information. The keyboard is great, but the purchasing experience was so poor I couldn't recommend it to anyone.

I pre-ordered the Max Version of this Keyboard back in 2020 and was told all the way up until Feb 2021 that my order would be shipped EVENTUALLY. I sent about 3 separate emails across the time span to see any updates on my keyboard but they kept giving me the same reason, COVID and that eventually it will ship. It was about $320 for my config iirc with Speed Silvers and double shot caps, and I gave up on them after seeing them constantly post on social media about random partners receiving the keyboard while not honoring the initial preorders me and a lot of other people made. Also found it was way cheaper to get a good TKL and a stream deck for less than the price of the one keyboard, I really did want it but at least I saved some money in the end by cancelling it. I would love to see this idea from Corsair with a Stream Deck attachment to the keyboard that replaces the typical numbpad buttons with the chiclet streamdeck screen buttons but still have the option to keep numbers on the pad if you arent using it for a stream deck at the moment.

I think the standard ABS caps are really cheap, and frankly probably intentionally so, knowing that as an enthusiast piece, you're probably swapping them out anyway. Holding up the ABS cap to the PBT - there is no comparison. The PBT's are substantially thicker, have a textured matte finish, and just have a much more satisfying feel. Worth $30 and 15 mins to swap them out.

I bought and modded this thing with yellow gateron (lubed and filmed) and holee mod the stabs last week. The keyboard is basically the same experience if you have a CTRL low profile board except that you have obviously have more features with the modular components. Overall it's worth purchase if you think these modular components are important to you. Otherwise, there are obviously cheaper options if you're an enthusiast. Also, one thing the video and most reviewers do not mention is that even though it has Razer Chroma combability, the RGB options are extremely limited and barely better than the options that already came with. Even worse, you lose even more features like individual LED for each button if you try to turn on Razer Chroma combability. This mode feels pretty useless right now because it neither gives you the full RGB custom and modes of Razer keyboards or even full features of the basic Everest software that it comes with.

I take some issue with what Linus said about the stabilizers. He said they are hand lubed and clipped, but they sound like they may have lube present in the housing and where the wire clips into it, but there is none where the wire goes into the stem, which is where most rattle comes from. Also, about his comment of clipping and lubing stabilizers being time consuming and a pain, you can do it in about a minute from in the board to back in. Clipping is just taking a pair of flush cutters and clipping off the plastic springs at the bottom for a clackier bottom out. For lubing, there are three areas you want to lube: the end of the wire where it enters the stem, with a copious amount there, where the wire clips to the housing, and where the stem slides against the housing. Keep in mind this can all be done with a 50 cent tube of dielectric grease. Taeha Types has an excellent guide on how to do this, if anyone is interested.

Cherry MX browns are my all time favorite switch, i am a verry heavy handed person and to me it just feels the best. the problem for me with lighter switches is that even resting my hands on the keyboard i rest them down hard enough that they sometimes register as keystrokes, this is especially a problem for me with the cherry MX speed switches, with those it feels like if is so much as breath on the keyboard it will start typing, no doubt great for competetive esports gaming, but since i am not a esports pro, nor do i aspire to become one, i will stick to what is comfortable and has me typing the fastest

this keyoard, honestly... far overpriced. I've had two (because they screwed up my order, twice). Also, customer service issues as mentioned by everyone else who has ever purchased one of these... The "dock" dial thing... not good. It's one of those rotary dials that do not register clicks if you rotate it too fast. Also, the quality of the dock accessory felt very poor to me. cheap plastic, very soft polycarbonate type plastic over the display scratches incredibly easily. Frankly, I was happier with a china TKL keyboard from amazon and a matching (separate) numpad.

Just bought this a few weeks ago when the max version was on sale for $200. At that price I'm pretty happy. For the full $270 I'd recommend it less. At that point you're paying a premium for modularity, not for unique functions as you could get a separate keyboard and macro pad. Be prepared for shipping to take a while (2-3 weeks) if you're in the US. The software is fine, nothing amazing but usable. The RGB options are limited and I have yet to get it to work per key with Razer Chroma. The default ABS keycaps are pretty thin. I wouldn't say low quality but if you care about keycaps you'll probably replace them.

We love it (hence i bought one too), Basecamp was buggy but the last two releases have greatly improved the software and its on par now with G-Suite and razer. My keyboard arrived with a DOA switch, contacted them on Discord and had a replacement switch in the mail 4 or 5 days later.

I backed the kickstarter for the Everest Max, and got mine almost a year ago. I put Zealio v2s in it and am happy with it overall, with a couple of caveats. First, the display in the dial is rotated about 2 degrees, and this is noticeable enough to trigger some OCD with some background images. Second, the USB-C extension cable is not long enough for my desk setup, and they don't sell a longer one. As Linus mentioned, it's not compatible with third-party extension cables. So my numpad is in my desk drawer, unused :-(

Doesn't seem to work. The short extension cable that came with it works, but a longer one by itself doesn't work, and a longer one connected to the stock short one also doesn't work. The numpad just blinks intermittently. I have nothing to lose really, so maybe I'll try cutting the stock cable and splicing an extension into it (the minimum necessary, preserving twist, etc.). I can always order another cable from Mountain. However, I feel like the problem may have something to do with the length... a 90 degree adapter on the stock cable works, so the wiring can't be too strange.

The board itself is awesome. There are some mixed reports on shipping, though. I ordered mine in early March (Silver board, max model, cherry mx brown switches) and it shipped a week later. took almost two weeks to get here from the netherlands. Other people have waited upwards of 8-10 months. According to their discord, it comes down to the options you select and what they have or can get in stock. I'd definitely recommend it if you can purchase it, forget about it, and be pleasantly surprised when it finally shows up. It really is an awesome keyboard.
