Corsair Employee Corsair James Posted April 21, 2015 Corsair Employee Share Posted April 21, 2015 Hi all, We were able to source a very small number of Cherry MX Blue RGB switches for K70 and K95 RGB keyboard availability. These will be exclusive for our webstore only and preorders are open. We're looking at 3-4 week availability for these to ship out and the webstore will provide more details. Please keep in mind that there are a very small number of these keyboards as these are not a permanent addition to the line-up due to low demand for MX Blue in general. However, we know there are a select few of you here in the forums who desire it so here is the notice before anyone else gets word.

88hurst Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 So can I return the brown k70rgb in exchange for one of the blues? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScarredMecha Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 So can I return the brown k70rgb in exchange for one of the blues? This would be an excellent option if offered. I would've bought an MX Blue board if they were available at the time of purchase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee Corsair James Posted April 21, 2015 Author Corsair Employee Share Posted April 21, 2015 Unfortunately we're not doing any type of exchanges for a different switch preference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScarredMecha Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 Unfortunately we're not doing any type of exchanges for a different switch preference. Ah, oh well. Hopefully I'll be able to pick up a K70 with Blues in the future! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BSalawalatski Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 YES! Registered just to thank you for this! I settled for a K95 RGB with MX Browns, but I prefer Blues. Can't wait to replace it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slater01 Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Will people such as myself living outside of the US and Canada be able to preorder these or is that not going to happen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jin24 Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 YES!!!!!!! This is great news (that I just happened to stumble across through Google and random curiosity); I will be selling off my current keyboard in favor of this. Edit: I also sent a PM with a few questions, but I'm both not sure if it went through and thought it wouldn't hurt to post them here: First question: I will be actually switching shipping addresses in a few weeks (about mid-May) so it's important I get an idea of when these would ship out if I ordered one now. The link to the K70 states the item will ship out within 2-3 business days of purchase, is that accurate? And if it doesn't ship out within, say, a couple weeks... can I then change the shipping address on an existing order? I've never purchased through Corsair's website before. Thank you. Second question: Since these are in limited supply, what is Corsair's policy regarding handling of defective units after you guys run out of MX Blues? If that happens, would we be able to get full refunds for the product? Finally, were any conclusions reached about the inconsistent and "mushy" RGB MX Blue issue? Thank you.

To answer your first question, they should ship faster than a few weeks, I believe the time on the site is relatively accurate. Second, if you do so happen to get a defect after Corsair runs out of blues, I'm fairly certain they'll give you a full refund, just so long as it's under manufacturer warranty still. And third, that's not exactly a question to ask Corsair. Cherry makes the switches, so it'd be more appropriate to contact them instead. Although, since Corsair seems confident in selling them again, I assume the inconsistencies have been cleared up. I would buy a board myself, but I have no monies. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About shipping, the part that confused me is Corsair James' post above where he said "we're looking at 3-4 week availability for these to ship out and the webstore will provide more details." Any idea if that mean 3-4 weeks to ship out or 3-4 weeks of availability for the blues? Do Corsair update buyers with tracking numbers once the orders ship and should it be fairly easy to cancel an re-place an order if it doesn't ship out in time? That's my only concern right now; I'm moving in few weeks and don't want my keyboard sent to the wrong address. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will give you tracking numbers, but I'm not sure if you'll be able to cancel it during the shipping process. If you order it now, you'll most certainly get it before you move.

alexgrist Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Will people such as myself living outside of the US and Canada be able to preorder these or is that not going to happen? Really hoping this is answered, I purchased a K70 with MX Blues almost a month ago now since RGB wasn't available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atlu Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 I got an email about the K95's. Does this mean the K70 blues are all gone? I got a brown, but I made a deal with a buddy that I'd sell him my brown if I could get a blue. PLEASE TELL ME I CAN GET A K70 BLUE STILL!!! The brown is... nice, but it's no blue :-/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jin24 Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Lucky me... I got my MX Blue K70 just about an hour ago; loving the keyboard, though the spacebar doesn't always make a pronounced clicking noise. Is that normal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
