Title: Corsair K60 for $80
Post by: dreamingftw on Thu, 01 March 2012, 23:52:57

Corsair Vengance K60 down to $80. Get their the matching mouse for $40 AR. Pretty good deal. I know some people still want this board despite it being hybrid.

Ah just found it. A review on newegg said ESC and f1-f12 are rubber dome.
Its a really crappy way for corsair to cut corners and save themselves some money

I was excited about buying this board before I found out about the rubber domes.

I Don't get how the k90 is the same thing with macros and lighting makes it cost 30 bucks more.

Might as well make it a full red mx keyboard and stop cutting corners..

Same concept when you look at Razer's normal black widow vs the ultimate version.

It's not cutting, corners, they really BELIEVE that this is good for the endusers.  I DON"T agree,, but they truly think that n00bs will hit keys by mistake, and it is very easy for that to happen on reds.

Well even so they shouldve just gone with blacks if they wanted to fix that issue.. oh well the k90 looks better but its got the same problem as the k60.

anyone have news on them releasing new ones?
