Beware of him that is slow to anger; for when it is long coming, it is the stronger when it comes, and the longer kept. Abused patience turns to fury.

I really don't see the appeal of the RGB keyboards other than "lol luk mah keybord can change colurs :D"

 

If it's more about finding a keyboard with appropriate switches and lighting that you want, then I'd understand completely.

It's just for the Swawgs. I'm happy with white LEDs lol.

Well, I wish keyboards were made to order. i.e. I want brown switches with red lighting. Usually red lighting goes with red switches and white lighting goes to brown switches (usually). 

So RGB removes that limitation and means you can just buy the keyboard without worrying about that.

Meh, RGB still isn't worth the extra money :S

I don't think it costs significantly more to have it.

I'd attribute that more to markup personally. I could be wrong of course, but I don't think I am.

I don't disagree....but that doesn't change the fact that it costs ME significantly more.

$60 for almost 17 million color combinations. That's not too bad. Although if the lights keep dying then yeah $60 extra is too much because the keyboard shouldn't sell for more than $60 total with dead lights.

Looks horrible. And I already have my beloved Shine 3. I could sleep with it. 

What do they know of England, who only England know?

I have an absolutely appropriate reason for wanting a lit keyboard... A) I type a lot in the dark and it's nice being able to see the keys. 2) I game in the dark and sometimes lose my WSAD place, it's nice to be able to sense the light and quickly know where my hand should go. C) I think the effects of the keys splashing as you type is amazingly cool and 4) It's a novelty that, to me, is a pretty cool accent to your set up.

The gold does indeed look horrible. I was so close to buying a ducky shine 3. I started liking the K70 Vengence because of the textured WSAD and 1-6 keys (see my reasoning for liking the texture/lighting above) That's when I heard about the RGB and it became my defacto perfect keyboard (although I'd still like the textured keys and wish they were included.)

 

The way you feel about your shine 3 is the way I hope I end up feeling about the RGB.

I don't like the design of the Corsair keyboards. I have always like clean and almost professional looking keyboards over the "gaming" style. And the RGB feels more like a gimmick to me.
