the led would've been bright enough to refract off the cap, since the caps are usually white on the inside..

with or without the clear housing, the lighting effect would've come through..

What would be sweet is yellow backlighting - when you press a key the backlight colour cycles through the rainbow spectrum back to yellow :)

Or an alternative colour of your choice.

Edit: From what I can glean from the vid's the housing is designed to be a light-pipe w/ an embedded (Fresnel ?) lens on top of the SMD LED. Doubt a regular LED will fit.

I am not a fan of backlight in general. And in the case of Corsair, they have had issues in the past (and still do now on their second generation of peripherals) with LEDs breaking. Though these keyboards are currently very popular among gamers.

Matias introduced the concept almost 2 years ago, but they weren't really much interested in the gaming market (they'd leave this part to other companies who'd use their switches), but up until now no one did, so, Cherry copies the idea and gets all the credit.

(http://geekhack.org/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=46060.0;attach=28995;image)

Anyways, if anyone wants to release a mechanical keyboard with RGB backlighting this year, it's not really "impossible" due to Cherry's contract with Corsair...

Kailh will also release transparent versions of their switches very soon (which are low-quality Cherry MX copies) and you guys will see plenty of low-quality chinese mechanical keyboards with RGB this year  :))

And a hint: Razer is working with them  :))

The idea is the clear case help spread the light from an SMD RGB led under the switch just like what Matias switch did, so I guess the main purpose is now we can have backlit keyboard without switches placed up-side-down and the light comes through all the keycap, not just a coner like before

The Kailh / Tesoro implementation is a more traditional LED per-switch implementation except using RGB LEDs. According to Carter from Coolermaster, the LEDs are custom built into the switches (we cannot confirm as our distributors won’t let us open ‘er up… yet ;) ). If you look closely, you can see that the LEDs are not the regular 3mm flangeless LEDs which we have come to know and love.

So coolermaster is selling the board with the Kailh switches with RGB LEDS??

I think that was more referencing that Carter/Cooler Master had reverse engineered the Kailh switches and understood their implementation. not that they were going to use them.

At least that's how I read that.

http://www.hardocp.com/news/2014/01/07/corsair_announces_ax1500i_worldrsquos_most_technologically_advanced_efficient_psu

Corsair®, the most awarded PC power supply brand in the world1, today announced the AX1500i Digital ATX power supply. The PSU’s digitally-controlled circuitry delivers 1500 watts of ultra-stable power with efficiency that goes beyond 80 PLUSTM Platinum, making the AX1500i the most technologically advanced, energy efficient, and customizable power supply available for extreme PC enthusiasts. The AX1500i’s groundbreaking efficiency meets the current draft for ATX 115 Volt 80 PLUS Titanium for consumer PSUs.

The AX1500i's second generation digital architecture enables the PSU to consistently deliver up to 1500 watts of power with class-leading Titanium energy efficiency levels of up to 94%. The DSP-controlled circuitry of the PSU allows it to consistently deliver exceptionally stable voltages along with amazingly low ripple and noise. Tremendous power reserves combined with a vast array of cabling options enables the AX1500i to power heavily overclocked PC systems with up to four graphics cards in NVIDIA® SLI™ or AMD CrossFireX™ configurations with headroom to spare. The AX1500’s leading performance is possible thanks to a streamlined component count and circuit-board layout made possible by the DSP-based design. The AX1500i’s high efficiency results in reduced heat, allowing the PSU to operate in silent Zero RPM Fan Mode until the load reaches 450 watts. A custom-designed fluid dynamic bearing 140mm fan, specifically designed for low-noise operation, allows the PSU to run quietly even when running at full 1500 watt power output.

http://www.hardocp.com/news/2014/01/07/corsair_announces_ax1500i_worldrsquos_most_technologically_advanced_efficient_psu

Corsair®, the most awarded PC power supply brand in the world1, today announced the AX1500i Digital ATX power supply. The PSU’s digitally-controlled circuitry delivers 1500 watts of ultra-stable power with efficiency that goes beyond 80 PLUSTM Platinum, making the AX1500i the most technologically advanced, energy efficient, and customizable power supply available for extreme PC enthusiasts. The AX1500i’s groundbreaking efficiency meets the current draft for ATX 115 Volt 80 PLUS Titanium for consumer PSUs.

The AX1500i's second generation digital architecture enables the PSU to consistently deliver up to 1500 watts of power with class-leading Titanium energy efficiency levels of up to 94%. The DSP-controlled circuitry of the PSU allows it to consistently deliver exceptionally stable voltages along with amazingly low ripple and noise. Tremendous power reserves combined with a vast array of cabling options enables the AX1500i to power heavily overclocked PC systems with up to four graphics cards in NVIDIA® SLI™ or AMD CrossFireX™ configurations with headroom to spare. The AX1500’s leading performance is possible thanks to a streamlined component count and circuit-board layout made possible by the DSP-based design. The AX1500i’s high efficiency results in reduced heat, allowing the PSU to operate in silent Zero RPM Fan Mode until the load reaches 450 watts. A custom-designed fluid dynamic bearing 140mm fan, specifically designed for low-noise operation, allows the PSU to run quietly even when running at full 1500 watt power output.

I suppose it depends if they do make it open standard and plenty of other companies get behind it. It doesn't seem like a bad idea for people that aren't confident inside a computer, or if you just want something built. Even later down the line though, I can forsee too many variables that will just mean the project doesn't work.

I just saw that article but I have read from other sources that it will be TN and 30hz. The price seems too good to be 60 and IPS. That would make it go on sale for around $500. Seems too good to be true.

Well, ASUS is reporting the 60hz on their site, and Dell is announcing the IPS on their site.

I'll eat a shoe if the ASUS, Dell, and Lenovo monitors aren't all sharing the same panel.

So I feel pretty safe saying these $600/$700 monitors are 4K, 60Hz, IPS, and DP/HDMI.

It certainly wouldn't hurt AMD to roll something like that out to compete with intel NUC.

The biggest problem I see with that Razer concept pc isn't the submersion cooling but the fact that if it did come to production you would have the most horrible vendor lock in possible. Also they may promise modularity into the future, but we all know they would release maybe 1 gen of hardware with that at best then change the interface for everything to cause one to purchase the whole system over again. If I had a desire to get something that is horribly proprietary I would rather buy the Apple Pro trashcan. At least Apple has a pretty good build quality overall and a good support system compared to Razer.

I don't get all the hype over 4K displays either. It's too early for them to take full advantage of. It will be awhile before HD content catches up and they are not good for gaming unless you can afford tri SLI Titans. Until those things change I couldn't give a **** about 4K.

u can get cheaper cables... the problem is the apple can is way too expensive for the bottom barrel performance..

it's essentially a final cut pro machine.. that's it...  if you don't use final cut pro, you can spend less money and get 2x the performance elsewhere.

Especially if the Corsair/Cherry partnership is truly exclusive for a whole year, I don't see why other companies wouldn't go and find alternatives to be competitive.
