The only thing missing to make my K95 perfect. Really looking forwrd to these. They need to be backlit though.

Backlit is a must, otherwise it wouldn't make sense because most of our keyboards are RGB.

and all of your keyboards lights up

Sad to say, I can't wait for these caps. It was a bad move to have a non-standard layout. Users are limited with the keycap customization with this "gamer" layout. It's the same with Razer. Even if this project pans out, it'll still be limited because no keycap manufacturer actually makes a 6.5u spacebar (there's one in shapeways but it's too expensive for just a spacebar).

 

With that said, I bought a ducky shine 5 and im selling my strafe.

Ducky 5 is a nice keyboard and they make their own caps. However, it's great to see Corsair listening to their customers and try provide a solution.

 

Going by feedback on this thread double shot pbt backlits seem to be the forerunner. If this is the case then a partnership with Vortex gear seems to be the most likely way forward as they've already got the mould for these and have the corsair non standard bottom row caps as stated on their Facebook page.

 

These things take time to arrange but it's still going in the right direction. Enjoy your new keyboard bud and maybe check the strafe out later, if this pans out these caps will be highly sought after. ;):

 

Peace

I know this will take time and im glad that corsair is listening to their base. What I'm trying to say is that even with this, customization is still limited. There are literally hundreds of keyset designs out there that a keyboard enthusiast can get IF the layout of this keyboard is standard (bottom row). I want the Pulse Keyset but the spacebar wont fit. I dunno who decided to make this layout but it's hurting Corsair. People love corsair's line of keyboards except the non-standard bottom row. You just have to check different forums and you'll see. I guess my point is, why limit your base when you can have a bigger one? The windows key can be disabled anyway, so why make it non-standard?

I thought I was going thoroughly insane by looking for a 6.5u PBT spacebar.

 

I would pay about $50 on average if it was:

 

1. A full keycap set.

2. PBT

3. Doubleshot translucent

 

TAKE MY MONEY!

I'm right there with you mate on that. Drove me crackers too, fingers crossed our search is finally over. :biggrin:

Just go give everyone an update that this is not a lost cause, it looks to be moving along quite nicely. No ETA but we do have the attention

Cool, thanks for the update Henry. Everything I can is crossed hoping this comes off. :D:

Excellent! Thanks for keeping us informed.

[PoopyMoosh]

Thanks for the update, I know these things take a lot of time. I'll still be genuinely interested when this happens.

[Riekopo]

I would prefer for Corsair to use a standard key layout so I could buy whatever keycaps I wanted. I'm not really interested in slightly better ABS keycaps. What I really want is PBT+POM keycaps. Those are the best.

[Toxy]

I would buy them for sure.

What I really want is PBT+POM keycaps.

 

Those really would be the icing on the cake. ;):

Wish i can show you guys what we have on deck, but I can't. :D:

 

The project is still on-going!

[Paulerson]

Thank you for the update Henry! I've been checking this thread everyday with an update and today it finally happened. I can't wait to see when you are able to post pictures or more information about the keycaps.

Hmm backlit doubleshot PBT + POM perhaps?

[PoopyMoosh]

Thanks for the update. It has been hard to restrain myself from trying to fit a set together, but I'm still going to wait for these.

:headbang2

I'm excited!

[Wulfster]

Keycap puller primed and ready for some tasty new corsair keycaps :headbang:

I'm adding my voice to those who want these. I use a Strafe RGB MX Silent. The textured keycaps for the WASD keys have worn out. Not sure how else, besides buying a "Double Shot" I can get them replaced. Been waiting on a response to my support ticket for a good while now. (Rather frustrated)

[Wulfster]

Any further updates? Seems to have gone very quiet :(:
