FU CORSAIR FU I WANTED A BLUE RGB KEYBOARD

Now I'll have to get a regular blue KB like a peasant. 

Or you could wait for other manufacturers to start production of RGB keyboards when the Corsair exclusivity runs out.

How can there be ''not enough demand'' on mx blues? Aren't they like the most popular switches?

No they are not, most popular is red.

is it though? blues are really for typists and the last time i looked there are not too many offices rocking the rgb keyboard look...not to mention the k70 and k95 are both very much gaming keyboards

 

 

I love my MX Blues for everything by far my favorite switch for typing and gaming I guess I'll just keep using my Gamdias Hermes.

Of course they did this right before I had the money to be able to buy one, and ended up having to go with cherry mx red switches.

After trying Brown switches, I think I would have been better off with blues. Browns are already too damn loud so might as well have that lovely click.

the noise is just you bottoming out, just get o rings to quiet them down.

Meh. They lost any chance of me buying another corsair keyboard when they went to the tramp stamp.

 

I would love a non-RGB K95 in blues with the sails emblem though.

 

Good thing you can still buy that, then. They are only stopping BLUE RGB production and they just announced a reversal of the "corsair gaming" shitty pirate-logo emblem back to the traditional Sails. Go and buy it.

This seriously annoys me. (this method of action)

 

 

Why are you buying a mechanical keyboard and yet you care more about the aesthetics than you do the actual feel of the keys? You might as well buy a membrane keyboard....

Why do you quote 4 month old comments?

 

And on the Corsair website they still do not make a MX-Blue K95... And all of the K95's have the tramp stamp logo. I dont know where you are getting this info about going back to the sails.

I'm coming from membrane so.......yeah, been there, hated that. Red isn't bad, but I wanted louder clicks.

It's not. The act of pressing the key for activation makes quite a loud noise and then another loud noise bottoming out. Maybe I'm just too used to the silence of membrane keyboards.

I have the browns  and yea while the tactile bump isn't 100% silent it's not horrible either. But bottoming out the keys is loud if you're typing at speed. I slow down a whole bunch when my mate's asleep. I would have gone with blues otherwise (and were they sold).

However, I do have a cherry MX sampler thing, and you simply can not type quietly on blues. Even if you press as softly and gently and slowly and carefully on them you get a loud click. At least with browns you can type quietly enough.

 

Though when I game I simply can't be gentle with my keys but the occasional clack can't be too awful compared to "CLACKITY CLACKITY CLAK CLACKITY CLAK CKICKY CLICKY CLAK" when I type xD

I want everyone to SEE and HEAR my keyboard, even in neighboring houses! Niche switch on a niche board at a niche price. I can understand why they'd drop it.

Have you actually used blue switches? You can't even hear them through a closed door. Blue was only switches with a sharp click, the brown's small dull bump isnt even close to the satisfaction of typing on a blue. Clears are better than browns, they have a more noticeable bump, but still nothing compared to the clicks of green/blue switches.

I can honestly say, I was hoping it would be brighter. The "purple" looks like an off color blue. Not to mention that if you have it set to a moving pattern, it WILL freeze eventually, and you have to unplug it and plug it back in to get it to stop being frozen.

 

Still, could be a LOT brighter.

I was planning to get the k95 rgb with the blues. It was the perfect keyboard with everything I wanted and then some. Wondering why Amazon didn't list it I started looking around the internet and found this thread. I might not get my perfect keyboard and might have to go with the the Razer equivalent (what's their equivalent of blues?), but I did get to have my hereditary Skywalker NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO moment.

Tip to those that are new on LTT forum- quote a post so that the person you are quoting gets a notification, otherwise they'll have no idea that you did. You can also use a tag such as @Ryoutarou97 (replace my username with anyone's. You should get a dropdown after you type the "@")to send a notification, but quoting is preferable.

 

Feel free to PM me about absolutely anything be it tech, math, literature, etc. I'll try my best to help. I'm currently looking for a cheap used build for around $25 to set up as a home server if anyone is selling.

 

If you are a native speaker please use proper English if you can. Punctuation, capitalization, and spelling are as important to making your message readable as proper night theme formatting is.

 

My build is fully operational, but won't be posted until after I get a GPU in it and the case arted up.

Who even want to buy a tramp stamp keyboard anyways? Corsair, fix your sh*t and I will happily buy one of your keyboards :)

Lol, not buying it for the logo?....

If they had a scandal or something I could understand but the logo? LOL

As if you would notice It.

The pictures make it look worse than it really is. It doesn't look bad on the keyboard and seems smaller than pictures make it out to be too.

Yep I have it.

Anyway, depriving yourself from a piece of hardware because of the logo.... Not a good idea.

Eh, the new switches by Razer last longer anyway and are just as good. Now we need variety.

Says Razer a company not exactly known for quality.
