Here they are on their new tenkeyless keyboard.

Oh I like that! White led with those means many different colours of legends!

I thought their caps were just painted like Race/Pure/etc, maybe they changed!

Cool looking board though, I like that glowing side.

Ohhhh I think it's definitely a smart idea to have colour keycaps.  Because it's always easier to swap out keycaps than change LED in a keyboard.

Hopefully they'll release these soon  :D

They were before... I bought a Nighthawk X8.  I agree that they definitely upped their game with the new tenkeyless.  There would be a huge market if they decided to sell just keycaps sets.

Horrible board, those legends look pretty bad too... Nice idea though

am I seeing things right, or is the keyboard also glowing on the side?

that is a pretty good idea, given that when someone is using keyboard in the dark, he probably has things on his table that he might want to reach for also
