[Updated, more brands]New MX RGB keyboards form Computex 2015

[Trik'Stari]

Now if only the keyboard companies would realize that if I'm going to pay $150+ for an RGB keyboard, it better have an option to be blindingly bright. Disappointed with how "bright" or more accurately, not bright, this corsair RGB k65 is.

 

Orange looks more like brown, and purple looks more like blue. Also, translucent keycaps please.

[Raudi_]

How about some NEW KEYBOARDS ffs

 

so sick of companies dropping in RGB switches (whatever the brand) and saying "that should cover all product releases this year"

Then look out for Cherry's new Real Touch i think is what they are calling it, its gonna cost around $220 usd with a full alunium body with brand new switches. Its aimed at typest and gamers that are looking for the fastest switch response on the market.

have you seen a G910 in person? it's even worse and same problems with lighting, white is tinted blue, very weak. only the darker/colored colors are strong. funny how Logitech loves to tout uniform lighting in the marketing about the switch

 

reboxed it for a return within minutes. such a joke

Technically its been a year because its just new switches.

[Albatross]

Well, it may be cheaper but if the quality isn't good for the price (when 50$ gets you better) I would personally still go for Corsair/X. I do prefer build quality/overall quality but looks matter at some point too and a lot of the time lower priced items don't look good.

[xeromynd]

Looks cool, but I'll stick with my K70 RGB, never had any problems with it and I've never felt like the build quality was shoddy.

Sounds terrible.

 

All I know is that corsair messed up with this thing. It's RGB but....it just doesn't have the color intensity that it should. Translucent key caps would go a long way towards that. Translucent ones that had a "light spreading" effect. Not like frosted plastic/glass, more like a prism.

[spartaman64]

Not really, Razer has a braided cable with USB and Audio Pass through so that is were Corsiar or Ducky need to take a step in that direction to get an advantage. Plus the keycaps on the Blackwidow feel much nicer then the ones that Corsair uses.

razer doesnt have cherry switches but kailh switches which are notorious for bad quality 

[spartaman64]

i hope these dont cost 80 dollars extra compared to non RGB. ill pay 10 maybe 20 dollars extra but not 80

Razer switched to Kailh switches due to Cherry's MX Blue shortage, I have some issues with my Chroma with the switches, but it looks like Razer's customer support is turning to 100% shit for my RMA for it.

still id prefer not have to have RMA every year until the warranty runs out

Its the first RMA for a razer Product I've had to do in almost 5 years of dealing with their stuff. Corsairs keyboards are terrible for me, I had a K70 the arrow key switches were constantly having cracked housings, so I gave up with the K70's and stuck with my K90.

really but the keys are made by cherry and their durability testing was incredible. and the razer keys is made by a chinese company that makes the keys cheaply

Yeah, I mean the Kailh switches plastic durability is much better then the cherry switches, but the overall quality control in the end is terrible for them.

FINALLY!!! I didn't want to spend that much money on an RGB board. Hopefully, now the prices will drop a little. I don't expect by much though.

If anything Ducky will cost the most for RGB keyboards.

[PopReference]

I agree the Shine 5 will probably cost more then the Shine 4 but the good news is there will be other MX RGB boards, hopefully those others will be cheaper for those that want it.

[SurvivorNVL]

Ducky.  Don't ruin this.  Give us RGB with MX green's, clear's, and ALPS.  As well as TKL.  You may have my money.

[SirRoderick]

Media controls are way more important to me than USB and audio passthroughs, I had both on my Logitech G110 but only ever used the media controls.

Same reason I went from a G110 to a K95. The media keys are damn impossible to get on anything else for some reason.

[Decon]

Ducky still has better build quality and better quality control, but that is a personal opinion.

this

[Ohlyver]

Not to say I don't like Ducky, I think they make brilliant keyboards and am so glad that they are making MX RGB products, but the whole simple thing is the reason I wouldn't get one. I love the design of the K70, it looks amazing and the media keys are really good, best volume wheel ever. Also, I've never actually held a ducky, but I feel like you can't get better build quality than the full Aluminum construction of the corsair.

But that's all personal opinion really, for any of my friends who look for a clean and simple mechanical, I always point them towards ducky.

I own the k70 rgb, I'm happy with it, but when you say, aluminium construction.. I haven't opened it to see, but I think its only a faceplate .. However we can't deny that ducky have an epic reputation so it gotta be good isn't it?

[Syntaxvgm]

Still rather go for Corsair over this.

I love my k70, and I like corsair, but ducky is amazing for keyboards.

hell even blues I'm happy to see. corsair didn't do blues 

for greens, we can hope, but if not, you can get green switches and swap out the switches in the clear housing. Kind of expensive and tedious, lots of soldering,  but the result is what you want.

I'd like to avoid soldering  And Corsair did give blues, but it was for a short time and they had to cease production.  I just really hope they offer a variety of switches.  Hell--if Ducky can deliver a TKL, RGB, MX-compatible-topre in a 55g weighting--they could charge any amount of money they wanted.

And a few days after I ordered my rgb KB with greetech switches.
