Title: RGB Keyboards
Post by: mouse.the.lucky.dog on Wed, 07 January 2015, 14:44:05

So we have the Corsair, and the Rosewill ( which is boring because it's one color at a time ). The switch which the Corsair used was supposedly theirs exclusively for one year.

So now we are pretty far into the year, are there rumors of any other keyboards coming out with RGB backlighting? Especially  where each LED gets it's own color.

You should check out the thread about Cherry innovating keyboards. They are releasing their own RGB board this year. Corsair's exclusivity deal was only until the end of 2014. Duck will also bring one out this year I'm pretty sure of it.

Don't think that new board will be RGB.

Are you being sarcastic or is there any information on a future RGB SKU from them ?

It's a special edition of the DS4, as far as I can tell, it'll be available in singapore first, with US distribution maybe coming later. It's on Ducky singapore's facebook.

Thanks for the info.

Edit: Would you know if that is that USD or SGD? Also, according to their Facebook it is not true RGB but mixed up dual LEDs.
