I was looking at either the Corsair strafe or K70 keyboards, but I wondered about if there are any issues in USB connectivity with these products with the R5E. What about the software? Thanks.

I have a R5E with Corsair K70. No problems at all. Haven't tried tweaking anything with the software.

Never had any USB issues or software/driver issues using a Corsair K95 keyboard on the Asus R5E.

The LEDs on RGB versions of Corsair K70/K95 keyboards have a notoriously high failure rate, lol, regardless which mobo you use, although apparently they might burn out faster or more often when serviced by poorly-regulated USB power (again, not an issue on the R5E).
