Update on Corsair RGB mechanical keyboards

I replied to a post from @Sena and it was like a month late. so i was told by one of the moderators of linustechtips to make a new topic and inform you guys about the shizz i know about this Corsair RGB keyboards.

They said something about releasing it after ComputeX. computex is in june so i would expect the release date this summer around july-august.

 

some of you may already know this but some may not.

Amazing how gimmicky backlighting can make everyone go apeshit over a product. God forbid we consider the build quality of the keyboard.

well if it does end up just being a K70 with no changes other than lighting then build quality shouldn't be an issue

Can't sleep... I had this question running in my mind the whole day, how much do you guys think the rgb k70 is going to cost? I don't know why but I keep thinking $150 but that's just me hahaha

Pretty sure it will be at least $150. I'm getting a good deal on a K70 right now (about 90 bucks) so I might just not wait for the RGB and pick the K70 up. Would have been cool to match my PC lighting to my keyboard lighting though :(

I just spoke to someone from Corsair and the guy told me it should cost as much as the K70, so around $130.

I just want it because it would let me do a white backlight and have a black meta body with brown switches. At least that is near when I get out of school so maybe that will be my end of the school year celebration tech gift I will buy myself.

Whats the point even buying it then if you're just gonna use that one white backlight.

There are other keyboards out there that have a white backlight a black metal body and brown switches
