Corsair RGB Appreciation thread!

[ablooga]

One of the few Legendary Keyboards that is a much to have! for regular folk and geekhackers!!!
It has 16.8 BILLION colors to choose from, AND it has media keys and volume rockers!! The media keys also have backlight!
There's really no other keyboards like this and with corsair's amazing build quality it's a must.
I was so excited when i saw it on massdrop I signed up right away!
at 150$ there's not many things that can beat this keyboard atm.

So did they ever fix the fact it only shows like 256 colors?

Nope!

512 and no, they can't do it without a hardware revision.  That doesn't stop them from saying that they're working on a software/firmware fix though. 

I expect that, in typical Corsair fashion, they'll quietly discontinue the board then release a new one with new and different problems with even fewer switch options while saying they're giving the customers what they wanted and that the new one is better and less choices is and improvement.

They really blew this exclusive contract they had with Cherry since they weren't even open about it from the beginning.

When asked for a comment, this was all Corsair had to say:

[nubbinator]

Corsair being open about a problem with their product?  That's not the Corsair way.  You have to deny, then deny some more, then keep denying until the evidence is incontrovertible.  At that point, they downplay the problems while their fanboys back them up.  If it still continues, they do a quiet recall or discontinue the product and shift the blame all while people praise their customer service and product quality and they rake in the dough on their inflated prices.

Pretty much, I guess they were counting on Linus to market this to their target demographic and just hope no one would find out.

[ablooga]

WOW, you're all haters. You're all just jealous you don't have a Corsair RGB in your country probably

Are you talking about Corsair or Apple?  Based on your description I couldn't decide.

I love the new corsair logo.

I laughed so hard I blacked out for a minute.

Hey guys buy the new Razer Jumping Spider, now with super sweet razer purple switches that totally aren't a slightly tweaked Kailh clone of MX Reds. Has 49,295 keys and LED colors ranging from ultraviolet to gamma rays and a sweet new 4D shape.

Also, when is Ducky gonna be able to sell rgb?

[KRKS]

Roccat announced their RGB with cherries on CES supposedly coming this year, so I'm guessing Ducky Whatever Year of the Goat Edition may be RGB as well.

That image has the elements of a truly epic pinball table.  Someone needs to make this and document it in the making stuff together forum.

A coworker mentioned walking his dog this morning.  Another coworker asked how he dealt with the cold.  He said he wore a hat. 

I struggled not to laugh out loud.  You have forever ruined that phrase for me.

I really appreciate what corsair and razer has done to introduce RGB to keyboard lovers and gamers alike.
It's because of this breakthrough many other companies are also introducing their own RGB keyboards as well!!!

Is it sad that I came here actually hoping to see an appreciation thread... 

Was just about to buy the Max keycaps for my k95rgb too until I read this, now I have to reassess my life & and my purchasing habits. Am I just a pawn in Corsair's corporate schemes? What to do with myself now...

[KHAANNN]

I was just considering buying a K65 RGB :D

Apart from the unneeded rgb features, the plate looks very solid
