Title: corsair rubber w,a,s,d,1,2,3,4,5,6 keycaps?
Post by: volatilecoffee on Sun, 13 January 2013, 11:27:55: Anyone know how or where to get them? because I will not pay for MX red switches or a corsair board ever again.

Post by: kmiller8 on Sun, 13 January 2013, 11:33:22: I'm interested in this too, perhaps if someone tried contacting corsair asking to buy them outright?

meh I like how corsairs looks
hence why I haven't just outright bought rubberized caps

That is the only thing related to their peripherals that I like at all
is their keycaps and they don't even sell them separate
they got a ego -_- their keyboards are junk

Look at the picture you quoted, they don't have any sort of sculpting and are flat little squares, like rubberized chiclet keys :)

Also, I just sent Corsair Sales Support an email about purchasing these, now. we play the waiting game.

I've seen them in person :P I'm pretty sure they are at least a similar height to OEM profile, but I'll ask my brother to look when he gets back to his school tonight.

Post by: esoomenona on Sun, 13 January 2013, 13:50:40: I think they could be OEM profile. The difference is they don't have a skirt, so they won't go all the way down like any other cap, but can just as well sit as high as any other cap.

Could always post a WTB thread. Perhaps someone has the board and doesn't use those caps.

What's the difference from the K60 and K70 rubber caps?

It could be that the K70 caps look better with LED backlighting, because the K60 didn't have LEDs.

They are also probably more durable, because those K60 caps look pad-printed.

K60 are indeed pad printed, they wear easily.

Title: Re: corsair rubber w,a,s,d,1,2,3,4,5,6 keycaps?
Post by: gameaholic on Sat, 04 May 2013, 17:19:25: I read in the corsair forums that there were two kinds of those keycaps for the k60. There were a lot of complaints of the letters rubbing off of them so they changed them a little. The later models seem to have ones that are not as rubbery but the letters last longer. We should bug corsair about the repalcement parts for the k70. They would look great on a backlit keyboard like the ducky.

edit:// crushing on that textured space bar too, wonder if it would fit a Pure? Maybe I'll just buy the whole board but idk.

Nope. that spacebar's a 6.5x measurement. About .25x longer.
