Is anyone going to be buying this keyboard tomorrow? Ever since Corsair announced this keyboard I've been waiting. Amazon says you can buy it on the 14th which is tomorrow! ^.^   Here's a link.

No. It looks ok, but you can get a k70 for the same price, which is much better IMO.

But this one has the OG Corsair logo, not that lame dual sword gaming logo they got going on.

They do still make the k70 with the sails logo. Also, you're being really petty if that makes a huge difference for you.

It seems like they are moving away from that one and using this new one.

Nope definitely not getting the strafe. Number one, i don't need it because i have a k70 and number two, it's not as good as a k70. It doesn't have cherry blues and also the one thing that i loved the k70 for and was one part of my buying decision: there are DEDICATED media keys and control for play/pause forward/back. I hate the function + Fx type of bullshit, it makes it look like they are trying to save room and money, but the k70 is basically no compromises. Also, there's a wrist rest included with the k70 and i cannot say this enough... NO CHERRY BLUES?!?!? Honestly, I'm fine with my k70 not having the sail logo. I did wish that it had it but the new logo doesn't really bother me that much (i know, very unpopular opinion)

BRRRT!
