DEACTIVATED. This item is currently out of stock and it may or may not be restocked.

Sounds like they have no plans to get that unit back in to me, and with the news of a new model on the horizon. . . hmm.
Making room for the new Rosewill boards we've been hearing about?

EDIT: or maybe everybody just hates blacks.

EDIT 2: the switch, oh god that sounds racist.

I suppose you've got that right. Blacks really aren't that popular a switch, it seems.

Cherry blacks are supposed to be good for games with keyboard input but that's not really me.

I'm much more concerned about typing and blacks are too firm for me.

Oh, but if they eliminated Reds, then they'd lose my business for sure. That's hands-down my favorite MX keyswitch.
