Are the K70 Keys Macroable?

I noticed the K70 had a macro button in the cluster with the light control and windows key lock buttons, even though it doesn't have any dedicated macro keys. Does this mean the keys on the K70 will be macroable, unlike the K90 (At least with the firmware I was using with it a few months ago)?

Thats not a macro button. Its to set the LEDs (on or off) per each key so you can have custom patterns.

 

For example, one of the modes you can switch to is the FPS mode where only the WASD and 123456 keys are lit. Its a very nifty feature once you see it in action. :):

Ah, I see. And another question: Is the keyboard released? Amazon says it'll ship in 1-3 months and Newegg lets you preorder for a 5/3/2013 release. But the Corsair site lets me order it and doesn't give a notice on how long it will take. So if I order it from Corsair will it come in a normal amount of time, or would it be like Amazon?

You can actually order from our website now and the orders will be processed accordingly. I'll make a bigger announcement soon.

 

But will it arrive in the weekish time it takes for normal shipping, or is there an unusually long delay like on Amazon?

on the site i can see the new k70 with these layout = UK ND NA FR DE but not ITA (italian) layout... why? :(

 

the old k60 have the italian layout but not illuminated key.

 

when come an italian version of k70 or k95???

 

that's unfortunate, probably the K60 didn't sell well in ITA layout?

i guess i will have to go with the US layout.

Third question: Are there any plans to update the software to add the ability to macro all the keys on the keyboard, like you can on Razer keyboards? I really want to get a K70 or K95 because of the aesthetic, and the Cherry Red keys, but I feel like the software on a Razer Blackwidow is just orders of magnitude more powerful, and that even though the K95 comes with so many dedicated macro keys, the number pad on the Blackwidow would just serve the same purpose in my case (And since you can't alter them on the K95, it's kind of like waisted space).
