I've been searching high and low for corsair's k70 RGB with cherry mx blue switches and I can't find ANY. Has thee been a recall or something? And to any corsair mechanical RGB keyboard owners out there, how are the LEDs lasting? Currently own a k95 with 29 dead LEDs AFTER RMA T_T

Been a year and 2 months I've had my K70 and it still works perfectly. No LED issues....yet. Hopefully it doesn't start dying on me. My brother had the same issue with the K95, he had about 10 LED's fail on him.

Only the RGB CherryMX Blues were discontinued. Not the regular CherryMX. You can still find CherryMX Blue K70 and K95 non-RGB, however no CherryMX Blue K70 or K95 RGB.

It is a shame. I have the K70 MX RGB Brown, and THEN I felt an MX Blue test switch and I think it's the best feeling switch of them all. 

 

 

Keep in mind though, they are still making regular MX Blue K70's though. An Mx RGB Blue switch is a different thing from a regular Mx Blue switch afaik

Really? I thought they had the same feel but browns were just silent?

Blues have a louder click and more pronounced bump than browns.

Browns are pretty close to Blacks but have a slight bump, and barely any click.

 

I recommend you grab a Cherry Mx test switch before buying a keyboard.

Well, I'm guessing that they are going to continue production for the second version of the K70 RGB. That would suck because I wanted the blue switches. 

Sound: Custom one pros, Audioengine A5+ with S8 sub.
