I really would like to know that too, because the default K70 (silver) is not available in Germany anymore!

Basically, Jason stated that it's moving along in development.

I sold my Logitech g110 for Corsair rgb (my first mechanical k/b).-) For nowim stuck with hp's $8 k/b(from eBay). life is hell here. Please release it soon.-(

[Markova]

I hope it gets released soon. I rma'd my K70 with mx blues. led's died and I could not get a replacement. my hardware store said the mx blue ones come in about two weeks back with RED leds and a black colour. why corsair? I hate red-black stuff. the gunmetall blue looked like perfection. I type on a 7€ keyboard till the K70 rgb's get released .__.

Is there a reason this keyboard won't be coming with Cherry black switches? It'd be perfect if it did.

I'd like to chime in on the hopes for a tenkeyless design. Over the past few weeks I've tried the K95, the K70 and the K65. I kept the K65 for the small form factor and for the ergonomics. The only (small) drawback is that it doesn't have LED lights and a USB through port.

I hope that my optimal keyboard will be in the new range... I'm hoping for a K65 styled with rgb LED, USB and a palmrest. *fingers crossed*

I dont know I want one of these but every time I order a keyboard online with out touching it first i get burned.

last one I bought strange key layout.. to small for my hands a logitech g510 I like the screen but the thing feels wrong. you can look at them but for some reason all keyboards have their own key spacing there is no way to tell how much of a reach every key is.


OH and I still cant find any like the apple 2 keyboard layout. that is the same layout as a alienware keyboard that I have that i like. it has a large enter key. and also I used to use apple 2 keyboards a lot it was my first keyboard that we typed on.




I still have not found an expensive lighted keyboard that works as well as those old cheepo keyboards that used to come with the pcs in the 80/90s I always go back to my strange alienware keyboard that has a strange layout with a big enterkey and it has a short reach to all row number keys for mmos for some reason.

same thing with mouse and monitors. the very 1st model intelmouse explorer back around 1998 i used to have before it died the huge one that you can really grab is still the one I like best but it dont work anymore the other ones liek it are smaller. smaller side buttons

that is why I wished there was a keyboard/mouse stores and they just had these things sitting out and you can go in and bang on them for a while then buy one there.;

Is there any update on this yet? I've been foaming at the mouth for months waiting for this badboy..... I read somewhere that its supposed to be released after Computex. Can we get any confirmation at this time?

[*Daedalus]

All we know at the moment is that the keyboard will be officially announced at Computex. When it will actually become available is unknown, but we do know that Corsair is well aware of the demand; they won't hold it back without good reason.

[Yellowbeard]

Keep in mind that the CES announcement said "in development". Trust me, there is no higher priority on the HID side of the house at this moment.

[Sinomatic]

In his video, Linus says at (4 mins in) that the whole keyboard is programmable - is that correct? I'm talking in terms of re-mapping keys and macros, not the lighting.
I just wanted to make sure as if that's the case, it would likely be worth waiting for.

Mechanical keyboards don't seem to have a lot of options and variety when it comes to including macro keys and/or the ability to remap existing keys. Of course there are keyboards with macro keys, but there are other things to consider (i.e K95 is too big for the space, some competitor keyboards have a single strip of macros but are ugly as sin, have no backlight or are known to have bad build quality) Having the whole keyboard being re-mappable would be perfect e.g. I don't really care about having a numpad, so I could just remap that as a whole bank of macros.
