terabyte Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 Maybe they'll say something about it at Computex? Just a thought, don't hold your breath :p: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savoyer Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 i'm waiting... New keycaps and Wire Keycap pullers, Corsair. Anytime now... ;-; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wulfster Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 Yeah come on guys don't keep us waiting much longer please. Nothing at Computex, those mag lev fans will be finding their way into my case though.:roll: Best Wulf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhosta Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 If they have better backlight parameters than LUX/RAPIDFIRE keycaps, then I am in. It would be awesome if middle column sliding on switch could be completely transparent like the body of RGB switches is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riekopo Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 (edited) One of the reasons I stopped using Corsair keyboards is because of the non standard layout that prevented me from being able to use my own higher quality keycaps. However, if Corsair releases Doubleshot ABS and Doubleshot PBT keycaps (with lighting) then this issue will be more or less resolved. Please hurry up with getting these keycaps out and no goofy textures or goofy font please. The best option for us customers would be options for the keycap material and font.

lovehikki Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 I can already imagine how this will come out as an entire new product altogether... After the K70 with just Red LEDs, after K70 with RGB LEDs, after K70 with MX Silent Switches plus RGB after K70 with Rapidfire Switches plus RGB and after K70 LUX RGB, Here comes the K70 LUX Rapidfire MX Silent RGB with DoubleShot PBT Keycaps... You're killing me, my dear Corsair... You're killing me... lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hassanuz Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 I would like to emphasize that if the keycaps only contain support for corsair style keyboards (especially the non-standard bottom row), then they should be worth less than most doubleshot sets out there ($40 might sound reasonable). However, if they included the standard row as well as Corsair's nonstandard sizes, then I'd say $60-90 is reasonable for the casual majority, and $90-$130 for enthusiasts depending on on the quality.

bwoodruff Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 I would love to get some white/black double shot PBT keycaps for my K70 Lux. ABS wears and becomes shiny waaaaay too quick, and I've noticed this especially with the stock keycaps that come on Corsair boards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bwoodruff Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 I'm subscribing to this thread so I can buy a set of black PBT doubleshot keycaps as soon as you release them, Corsair. Ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riekopo Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 (edited) Another thing to say about this. If the legends are upside down like on the new Strafe and Lux keyboards then I won't be buying these. Adult gamers don't want non standard bottom row, goofy font, different size, upside down legend keycaps. Edited August 16, 2016 by Riekopo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScarredMecha Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Thank you for your feedback. I will definitely convey this message to the PM. I agree with him. I definitely prefer the older KXX keyboard font to the newer Strafe's font that all the keyboards use now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bwoodruff Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 (edited) I agree the old font is better but I don't mind the new one, and I actually wouldn't mind seeing keys with multiple symbols have the symbols side-by-side for better illumination (e.x. " ? / "). But upside down doesn't really both me either. Mostly I just want PBT. Edited August 17, 2016 by bwoodruff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wulfster Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 I prefer the Strafe font. It's a gaming keyboard, and this type of font lets more light through. Isn't that the point really? As for "grown up gamers" I resemble that remark (the wife would beg to differ :biggrin:) and love the charm of the strafe keyboard, warts and all. Best Wulf :D: P.S. How are those keycaps coming along? Not sure how much longer I can keep this kidney preserved :laughing: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brainless Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 Black Keycaps + PBT The font of the K70 RGB Rapidfire (same as Strafe?) is good. But please no "upside down" fonts! All keys with two level printings are inverted :(: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
