I think everyone knew it was on Amazon about a month ago, which is why the full size RGB version has been sold out a while now lol.

Windows key on the Void Ray+ with a recent firmware always glows when it's not disabled.

I'm using the earlier version of Zhuque myself. Wish there was a firmware where the win key does not glow when you turn glow off for other keys.

I use win key for a lot of things so I don't want to disable it, but it's annoying with only the windows key glowing when I have lights off.

we had been reported back to the Manufacture team wolf.
it seems they don't have better way to solve this issue.
They think this is an advance design; also, the font too.
However, they are going to make ZhuQue with RGB.
Do you think ZhuQue with RGB is good ?

Hi, teamwolf.
Are you "Arbiter"?
I am the one who bought your full size RGB version from taobao (taobaoring agent) and you sent me the firmware update, to fix the keyboard malfunction with LED effects playing.
Yes I think RGB TKL version would be very nice, then people can set the LED color to match their game or computer color or mouse!

But is your firmware strong enough to support "LED color mixing"?  Maybe you can consider it.
Just 512 colors is enough.

Right now, there are only 8 colors.   White, Black (off), Red, Blue, Green, Magneta, Yellow, Orange, Cyan.
Then you can change the brightness to 15 levels, but this affects the entire keyboard, not independent keys!

What you need for 512 color mode is this, and I think it's easy to do!

Per-key lighting:
Red: brightness off 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7
Blue: Brightness off, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7
Green: Brightness off, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7

Each level can be set to 1 key by itself in per-key light mode, or to all keys.
Example: Violet= Red=2, blue=7, green=0
Purple=red=4, blue=7, green=0.
Gold=Red=7, green=6

Heck a full size single color backlight and i would buy it. I just dont want that Rainbow fixed color per row, those are hideous.

I just ordered one of the fullsize ones from amazon, with plans to just turn off the backlight and leave it that way (I'm not a fan and don't use backlight-compatible caps), but the hot-swappable switch design strikes me as an absolutely awesome idea.

I don't know if suggestions are being heard and considered, but I'll repeat the others and say that an RGB version would be better than fixed rainbow-colors, and also a 60% layout would be great.

Not sure if OP is still here, but...are these going to be upgraded with the new ALPS-stem Outemus?

Just got mine in, really like the minimalist/clean design of this keyboard and the swappable switches is indeed fantastic. I'm going to crack it open later and see about replacing the cable with a micro-USB port for a removable cable, and maybe removing or obscuring the LED under the windows key.
