classicjimmy Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 Can we at least know whether they will be out before next year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwitty Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 If the responses I've seen to the others posting very similar questions are any indication; no, we can't know. Just have to hope. And pray. Perhaps sacrifice a goat. ^My attempt at humor. I've been chomping at the bit for an MX Blue k95 since July. ::pirate:: Sure hope it doesn't take into next year... I thought I was going to have one by my birthday (September) So much for that! heh heh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corsair Employee Corsair James Posted November 16, 2014 Corsair Employee Share Posted November 16, 2014 They are in production by Cherry but we're not expecting any MX RGB keyboards to be on shelves until late 2014/early 2015 between shipping the switches to our production facilities and the massive amounts of shipping delays due to the Xmas season.

Your post seem to imply that the keyboards aren't even in production right now, wouldn't it then be possible to make a Cherry MX Blue SKU with the old logo? Perhaps even to use a black USB connector (seriously, who came up with the idea to make a red connector for a RGB keyboard). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkStarrFOFF Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Sorry for the confusion. I've posted it in a few threads about this issue but with so much activity, I'm sure it got buried. The lack of MX RGB Blue switches is simply low stock in addition to every other switch. We anticipate more inventory from Cherry soon but at this rate, we won't see it on shelves until late 2014/early 2015 if you factor in production schedules and the usual delays that come with shipping during Xmas. This was posted the other day, basically Cherry can't produce enough RGB keyswitches, in ANY color, Blue, Red, Brown whatever. Cherry doesn't have em to send to Corsair so Corsair can't put them in keyboards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuai Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Did I miss something here? I hope you realise Cherry makes the switches while Corsair manufactures and assembles the keyboards, the fact that Cherry are producing switches and that Corsair are not producing keyboards are two completely independent things. In conclusion, yes, you missed something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mysticc Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Doesn`t this look like a rather crappy deal paying for exclusiv use of Cherry-RGBs and then not enough switches available to produce RGBs? I do not think Corsair made such a lousy deal. What does this mean? - It`s up to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuai Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Considering how much Corsair messed this up from a software perspective (and hardware design if you ask some), I wouldn't blame all on Cherry. Honestly, who releases a RGB keyboard with 16.8 million colors printed on the box when it in reality is only able to display 255? To make a ghetto software fix 2 months after the release, 6 months after the original ETA, which was supposedly postponed in order to fix small quirks and make the release "up to Corsair's standard", is not acceptable.

Shuai Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Not sure if you're being serious about the 255 colors... Oups, I meant 512 colors. However, your reaction seems to imply that you actually didn't know about this issue... Quite an achievement if you have an account on the Corsair forums.
