Corsair double shot keycaps
« on: Thu, 11 February 2016, 11:35:20 »
Hi guys,

For those of you with Corsair keyboards (damned non standard bottom row), they are asking for interest feedback for Corsair to produce sets of double shot keycaps for Corsair keyboards.

If your interested please head over to Corsair forums at http://forum.corsair.com/v3/showthread.php?t=155919 and post your interest.  More choice can only be a good thing.

Best regards,

Wulf

lol I feel like Corsair would be more popular if they just went with 1.25, 1.25, 1.25 mod and call it a day.

But  to be fair I think both layouts were consider as "standard" back in the days but somehow with the rise of Filco (and Costar) then the mod community decide to stick with 1.25, 1.25, 1.25 layout.

:P

I went onto the corsair forums and toss them my vote, I'll buy a double shot keyboard set that would be compatible with their keyboards.

Vortex PBT+OM backlit keys are nice but they don't accommodate the bottom row, and Vortex been sitting on a kit that would make their Vortex PBT+OM backlit keys more relevant to Corsair and Razer customers.

Why they do not produce these?!

How would they sell proprietary keysets then?

What is proprietary from just their keys?

They are all Cherry MX compatible keys, its just that Corsair went with nonstandard spacing.
Also Corsair been really good about providing spare parts to their customers.
Their website sells spare parts, and in the past they also gave away spare parts to customers that asked.

Such as their customers who brought their CPU cooling kits, and was missing the AMD compatible parts opening up a RMA request got you the missing parts for free.
