Seriously Corsair...

I was all set to buy the K70 RGB and I saw 2 massive flaws... 1. the keyboard is £140... that is a £30-40 difference for RGB... and 2.It has the new "Corsair Gaming" logo which looks disgusting...

they could of just had their plain flag logo, reconsidering my purchase now until I see the keyboard in stores or at an event.

Am I just being paranoid or does it genuinely look to be a flop at it's current price?

Well i remember they had to redesign the pcb to prevent dying leds, perhaps watch/read some reviews. linus will probably do one

yes £30-40 to fit a RGB LED full key behind every key seems reasonable to me, plus i actually like the new logo

That was one of my worry's as well I hope it's better this time as I heard a lot of them did die.

I agree that the logo is not very pretty. But what really makes me reconsider buying it is the fucking bright yellow shit that's going on.

DON'T YOU DO THAT TO ME.

They have a new "Corsair Gaming" product line.

And the logo is an eye sore.

I'm watching TTL's video and even in the dark you can still see the yellow in the logo...

You don't have to buy it.. they offer a product for X amount of money. 

Sometimes a company will offer Product X for too much money and not many people buy it. Then it is known to have flopped.

I think it deserves the price point, considering all the hype...

I know they have a new website for their Gaming stuff, look yellowish. Do you know it? I try to find it, can't

The same way Corsair sells their stuff. Brand recognition.

To each their own, no explanation required. I actually laugh when people see a pro gamer with a non-mech kb and are all like "Uh, wouldn't that make them play bad"

that logo was the one they used forever (or is it new? idk), deal with it

 

I think they're talking about the "Corsair Gaming" one. It looks tacky as shit, but I think the issues with fit and finish on these boards is far more a concern than a tacky logo IMHO

 

They went and did what Coolermaster did, move their peripheral line under a different name, in Coolermasters case (get it?), the CM Storm branding

I would like to see an unknown brand selling an exact keyboard(same hardware) to see the price and decide if this keyboard is really worth it...

Is this what the average Corsair fanboy consumer has become?
