Speranza Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Just wanted to come here and voice my opinion. I have been using ergonomic keyboards since windows 95, currently using a Microsoft Ergonomic 4000. After hearing endless "mech baords are bettar" comments, I decided to look around and my first stop was Corsair. I have always used Corsair RAM, and cases since the Carbide line. I have purchased Corsair headsets on three separate occasions, and all six of my USB flash drives are Voyagers. My PSU is not Corsair only because I still have a PC Power & Cooling that is going strong after 7 years. I never hesitate to recommend Corsair product when someone asks what to buy. I will not be purchasing a K70 keyboard because all of my gear is black with blue LED. The silver backed blue LED look quite garish to me, and the Black anodized with red LED looks almost perfect except the red would stick out like a sore thumb. Unless I can somehow get a black and blue K70, my 100$+ purchase will have to go elsewhere :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taeZaKi Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Black/blue has been suggested on the forums for a while now, and yeah, I wish they had that color as well :[ If corsair plans on it, you'll have to wait for announcement. If you want any suggestions (i.e. if you need a KB asap), feel free to PM me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like my best bet right now is a SteelSeries 6Gv2. still trying to convince myself a 100$ keyboard is worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Jason Posted April 19, 2013 Share Posted April 19, 2013 Thanks for the feedback. You may want to take a look at the K95. Black with white LEDs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speranza Posted April 19, 2013 Author Share Posted April 19, 2013 Thanks for the feedback. You may want to take a look at the K95. Black with white LEDs. That is almost exactly what I am hoping to get, but the 18 extra macro buttons on the left are something i will never use and cannot justify the expense for.

taeZaKi Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 While I think it's a solid keyboard (have one myself), the 6gv2 isn't worth 100$ IMO. Simple MX Blacks with no lighting? Meh. My 6gv2 was a lot cheaper off Amazon too. There is the Gigabyte Aivia Osmium that might perfectly fit your setup (my setup is actually black/blue as well!). It's MX Red switches with a black shell and blue backlighting. Also has macros and stuff for volume/light control. Kinda expensive though, but around the same price as the K90 when it was out. It was actually my 2nd choice to the K90. http://assets.hardwarezone.com/img/2012/06/aivia-keyboard.jpg There is also the Ducky Shine 2, and CM Storm Quickfire TK that you can look up. I suggest doing some more research too. There are A LOT of brands out there like Filco, Leopold, Rosewill, Cherry, etc. Some of them a lot cheaper, but will have lesser features like no backlighting or macros. I love what Corsair has done with their keyboard line. It was exactly what I was looking for in design, switches (MX blacks were too tough for me), and the dedicated media buttons. I didn't like the macro keys and the membrane keys of the K90, but I bought it for the blue backlight. Now that the K70 is out, full mechanical, blue backlight, no macro keys, kept it's general layout, and added more lighting features, it is pretty much the PERFECT one for me and well worth the price. I just need money atm, hehe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chewie2187 Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 Can we please, please have Corsair K70 in black with blue LEDs? I am sorry, but to my knowledge the market and Corsair customers are craving for a K70 in black with blue lights and I simply do not understand how are you doing your market research? Most Corsair customers like the minimalistic, cool but not flashy line of products :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pokelda2 Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 http://forum.corsair.com/v3/showpost.php?p=673296&postcount=5 A response to new blue/brawn k70 switches from RMA-GUY well good thing I just bit the bullet and bought the black k70 with red blacklighting. I really wanted to get a black k70 with blue or brown switches but there was no news of it so i just went with the black k70 because of how it looks. and because corsair was having a 30% off sale at pax. and honestly red switches arent that bad dont know why so many people say that reds are absolutely terrible for anything but gaming.

TooManyErrors Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 I agree that we need more color options. Also don't forget the Cherry Mx Blue/brown black keyboard with red backlight. (What I want) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
