Double Shot Key Caps

The project is still going, but I am not allowed to comment on anything else. :D:

 

Haha no problem mate, I understand ;):

 

Gives me something to look forward to. After all, anticipation is half the fun :D:

Thank you for your feedback. I will definitely convey this message to the PM.

 

I agree, and definitely , if I knew the keyboard come with this new layout , I would not buy . Reminding that the picture shown in the Amazon , where it was bought , does not appear this layout change.

 

Now I'm trying to solve this problem with the Corsair Support , and the best answer so far is that I buy new keycaps or other keyboard (spend more money on a gadget that costs U$ 150,00).

I just realized that the Strafe RGB keycaps are narrower than normal. I was wondering why I was finding it hard to type. Now I know. This is another stupid change that no one asked for.

Wow really? I've got many various keyboards and if anything I find the Strafe amazing to touch type on. In fact I'm almost certain it's improved my accuracy and speed. ::pirate::

I'm really loving my K65 and the only thing i can think of that would make it better is a nice set of black PBT key caps. I've put my vote in, and really hope this eventually gets made.fingers crossed

I can't stress enough how important options are. This is a very subjective matter so the only way Corsair is going to make people happy is with many options. Options for keycap material, font, color, and layout are what is needed here.

Whilst I agree about having options is a good thing, I also think that its important to walk before you can run. Remember as companies go Corsair are pretty good at listening to their customers. This thread in itself is testament to that.

Wulf :D:

I've had my k65 for literally less than a month and i'm already dying to have these...i cant imagine if I had to wait from the time this thread started lol.

 

Henry I know you cant update us too much, but is it at least safe to say these are actually happening 100%, only a question of when? Or is the product's existence still in question?

Likewise the keycaps on my K70 are already very shiny so I'm excited to get some compatible keycaps that hopefully won't shine up.

I'm just posting this for the lols... but yeah, "TWO THOUSANDS YEARS LATER..."

Really tired of waiting for these...

Agreed. Could be time to give Ducky another go, at least they already do keysets for theirs... Gone back to using my Logitech G910.

Any updates on the double shots Corsair?

Could we also get an optional set of Corsair logo keys in these sets to replace the windows key caps?

this would be awesome! ;):

I told you guys it will take awhile. I really do wish I can provide you with each step of the update, but that would jeopardize my job. Anyhow, it does take time to find get the quality we want.

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:

this would be awesome! ;):

 

What would be truly awesome would be Mac compatible ones as well. Corsair logo for the Command key, Option key where Windows key normally is.

Going back to the original post I'd be willing to pay up to £70 for good PBT keys for my keyboard. I'd have replaced all the keys on my k70 already if it wasn't for the bottom row of keys being slightly different to most keyboards. Personally I don't care much for back lighting so I don't really mind if I can see through the letters or not, I'm mostly interested in your keyboards due to their quality and your support.

I would be willing to pay $40-$50 for standard colors (black/white/clear) and upwards of $100 for more interesting sets.

I would love backlight-compatible PBT caps! I've been looking for a set for a long time now (found some) but their quality leaves me wanting more. The backlighting on the characters are inconsistent and just make it appear to be cheap (well, it was from China...)

 

I'd be willing to pay $40 or more for a great keycap set. Love my K65 and no other keyboard really fits the qualities I look for in a good mechanical keyboard. Would also be cool to have a Mac option (Command, Option, etc.).

 

Looking forward to official keycaps!

Come on Corsair. This is taking way too long.

I found this post when searching in vain for a back-lit, PBT, double shot set of Corsair compatible keycaps. I bought my K65 RGB keyboard in April 2015, and my keycaps are already showing signs of wear. My "E" is an unsightly blob.

 

I would love to see a "Corsair Compatible" set of black, doubleshot back-lit PBT keycaps with side-by-side numbers and legends. Ideally double-thickness, but if that substantially increased the keycap cost, then single thickness would work well enough.

 

I would hope it would be no more than $40 for a 104 key set, and less for a TKL set. If you went Double-shot ABS, it should cost even less. This is already what one can buy various "normal" sets for (excepting small scale custom group buys) and often, for half as much.

 

I personally view this as something that should be looked at by Corsair as a courtesy for your customers. You make not-inexpensive mechanical keyboards that should last many years, and then stick on keycaps that wear in only one.

 

In a perfect world, Corsair would abandon this non-standard bottom row. Keyboard/keycap enthusiasts would no longer shun your keyboards (or like me, buy the keyboard and then feel trapped with awful keycaps), we'd all be able to use any Cherry keycaps that suit our fancy (like my beloved 1976 SA profile set), and it would help mitigate the fact that Corsair puts what amounts to temporary keycaps on their keyboards.
