I got my 2nd set of keycaps for my home keyboard, and did notice something similar to the smuge mentioned earlier. However, it was only on 2 keys, and a quick buff with a cloth took it off. Must be some manufacturing residue in my case, as it cleaned off with a little effort. Neither set appears to have any alignment issues, even when looking for them. Maybe I am not as observant, or the issue is not widespread? I'm happy with my 2 sets, at least!

Here is a set on my K95 RGB MX Blue at work. Pardon the absolutely horrid cell phone camera. The G-keys are the stock keycaps, which let a bit more light through. I will have to go tweak my lighting profiles to darken them a hair to match the new keys. The new keycaps feel amazing, though. Since I use that keyboard 10 hours/day, I think it was worth the cost. Now I am trying to justify a 2nd set for my K95 at home too.

I'll post a pic when mine show up! Supposedly in tomorrow, I went for the more subtle black keys.

I've had my order in with Amazon since October 18th, still not shipped. But this is par for the course with Corsair, sadly. I waited many (MANY) months to get my K95 RGB with MX Blue switches. Though I have discovered that Corsair has been worth the wait. My K95 with MX Blues is a masterpiece, and was worth the wait. I am just figuring these keycaps will be worth the wait too. Heck, I've been waiting for these since February 26th, 2016. It's been 623 days, what's another couple weeks? :bigeyes:

*heavy breathing*

I actually like the Corsair bottom row layout over the other brands. That is one of the reasons I bought the Corsair. And there are a few places online you can get keycaps for the Corsair layout, but yeah, not as many options. That's why I hope this set comes out eventually!

I waited for what seemed like years for the K95 RGB with MX Blues to come out, and I survived that wait. I will survive this wait, and pick up 2 sets for my K95s. Not like there is a competing double-struck set for the K95... That being said, I wish you could give us more than verbal reassurance that this is happening, but I know what it is like to work on a new product and not be able to tell customers details. Sucks for everyone. We want to know, you want to show off progress, but the dang managers won't have it :evil:

:headbang2 I'm excited!

Excellent! Thanks for keeping us informed.

I'd pay $50-60 for a full set for the K95 RGB. I'm already getting some signs of wear on the stock keycaps. I use a K95 RGB (with MX Blues!) for programming 10 hours/day, so I can't complain. As for the font, I seem to be the odd man out who prefers the K95 font to the STRAFE font. It just looks cleaner, and I don't like the all-caps "CAPS LOCK" (etc) on the STRAFE as much. I would still get it with the STRAFE font, I just prefer the K95 font. If we are wishing for things, here are some things I would love to see. To be clear, I will buy a set anyway, but having these would be extra nice: Symbols for special/modifier keys (instead of text) Include the G-keys for K95! Corsair logo instead of Windows logo (include both in kit?) For the special/modifier keys, I was thinking something like WASD Keyboards' "Symbols" style. Specifically, the Insert/Delete/Home/End/PgUp/PgDn/Tab/Caps Lock/Shift keys. Wandering completely off into left field, I'd love to see one where the letters/numbers are replaced with Alien Language 1 from Futurama. Probably not much of a market for those keycaps, though. :(: I'd pay a horrifying amount of money for a set with Alien Language 1 and the symbols for the special keys.

Surely you mean 4.95 volts, not 5.95 volts? :!: Because 6 volts is not at all in the USB spec. Incidentally, my motherboard also has the SuperCharger feature, yet I had the freezing problem. I am not convinced it is a power issue. I think it has something to do with thread affinity or race conditions encountered with the combination of the Corsair software, Corsair driver, and Intel 77-series (& other?) chipset drivers.

Interesting, I have the previous generation of the motherboard you have (Z77-GD65 Gaming), and when plugging my K95 into the USB 3.0 port on the motherboard, it would freeze. I think it has less to do with "poor" chipset (since we both run an Intel chipset), and more to do with some software/firmware compatibility issues. After reading this thread, I instead plugged it into the USB 2.0 hub on my monitor with both connectors, and so far, no issues! So this might be a possible workaround until Corsair fixes the problem.
