mx blue backlit keyboard

Go to solution Solved by JazzyCarr0t,

So I just talked to corsair to see if they could update me on the RGB situation and they said that it's projected for a SEPTEMBER release date now. Also, lucky for you, they're releasing a K70 with gunmetal/black backing (not the silver backing that used to be there) with blue led's in late august. He said we should see something about that soon. So I'd wait for that! Wow I guess I just broke some exclusive news :D

Is there a keyboard with cherry mx blue switches, a blue backlight, and a build in wrist wrest? The cm storm quickfire ultimate would be good, but I wish it has a wrist wrest.

If you can find a blackwidow ultimate from before 2013 that would be good. Thats all I can think off, probably because I'm typing on one, But I know you can buy a wrist wrest for the ducky shine 3 aswell.

http://www.corsair.com/en/mx-rgb It says here the RGB keyboard will come with blues, so you could wait for that and just set the LED's to blue.

You could get a separate wrist rest and any keyboard you want. You shouldn't put your wrists down while typing anyways it will ruin your wrists

 

The earlier 2012 BlackWidow Ultimate that has blue backlit. Pity that it doesn't have a wrist-rest though

If you can find a blackwidow ultimate from before 2013 that would be good. Thats all I can think off, probably because I'm typing on one, But I know you can buy a wrist wrest for the ducky shine 3 aswell.

 

They are both bad keyboards, they don't use genuine cherry switches even though they say so also build quality is not the greatest

Well as an average user like myself I'm not gonna break it real soon like you hardcore guys. So I'm totally fine with that.

Firstly, the old keyboards do have genuine cherry switches.

secondly, have you every felt one in person? The build quality is absolutely brilliant, yes there is no metal, but the plastic used is of an extremely high quality and the keyboard is very heavy and feels very solid.

Well I wouldn't call it 10/10 either, but at the same time I wouldn't call a ducky shine 3 10/10 which everyone seems to get hard over. I think Razer is just the apple of peripherals, yes they are over-priced and very popular but that doesn't mean they make bad products, infact I think they make brilliant products (excluding their headsets)
