Title: Zowie Celeritas with black cherry mx switches?!
Post by: tomsanity on Wed, 23 October 2013, 01:47:47
Title pretty much explains it all!  I just got one out of curiosity and it turns out to have black cherry mx black switches.  The Zowie website shows only brown or red.  I've tried googling to see if there were any other Zowie's that had black switches but they all had browns! Can anyone shed some light on this?

Where did you order it from? My best answer is to email that site/shop!

Or maybe you got an older model? I think they used to only come in blacks a couple years ago.
