Keyboard from Corsair and no tenkeyless version? Me think they should stick with just RAM & PSU. lol Although I like their computer cases (using an Obsidian 800D right now). =D

dreamingftw · « **Reply #2 on:** Thu, 15 September 2011, 01:40:38 »

Those look like solid gaming boards and the price seems decent too.

Actually you're right. I just saw the prices and they seem pretty reasonable.

dreamingftw · « **Reply #4 on:** Thu, 15 September 2011, 01:57:26 »

When are these released?

popol · « **Reply #5 on:** Thu, 15 September 2011, 03:38:10 »

I find them quite ugly and it must become dirty very easily. But why not ^^

chongyixiong · « **Reply #6 on:** Thu, 15 September 2011, 03:45:46 »

Hey these would be easy to clean.. just one swoosh from compressed air and off all the dust goes!

Nice concept, which it came in tenkeyless though

BTW, thumbs up for sharing!

It looks cool and not cool at the same time. More MX reds to the people is always good though. : P

jpm804 · « **Reply #8 on:** Thu, 15 September 2011, 04:18:32 »

definitely an interesting design with the switches rest on top of the plate and no cover essential and I like the extended wrist rest on the FPS model... But would have liked to see it in a tenkeyless model.

For me they just look UGLY as hell.

dorkvader · « **Reply #11 on:** Thu, 15 September 2011, 07:35:58 »

What about that textured spacebar?

They're reasonably priced, but they need to be tenkeyless. I mean, which gamer uses a tenkey?

I do like the one-handed palmrest, though. I'll reserve judgement on the case until I see more pictures.

$109 seems like a STEAL. How much were folks paying for that TypeNow Solid with an aluminum case?

I don't think it's too bad looking...

RiGS · « **Reply #15 on:** Thu, 15 September 2011, 08:51:45 »

This look ****ty compared to the refined aluminium case of the TS.

himynameisbunny · « **Reply #16 on:** Thu, 15 September 2011, 09:21:34 »

I don't see why there's so much whining going on here.

This is by far the most unique looking (normal-layout) board I've seen so far. Not having a bezel and having the brushed plate just gives it that kind of mechanical sexiness to it. Like how looking in the engine bay of a ferrari makes you a bit hard, if you swing that way.

I've got to say though, I can definitely see why you guys don't like it. It almost looks a little...too bare. Like if you saw a girl walking around a shopping centre with only her underwear on. You'd enjoy looking at it, but you can't help but think it looks a bit wrong.

At the end of the day, I think corsair have taken a gamble and it's paid off. They've obviously seen razer, coolermaster, steelseries, and some asian fecal fetichests (rapoo, noppoo, mypoo) doing their thing and they've gone for differentiation. And it's met it's design requirements easily.

Having blabbed on about all that, it's exactly the sort of thing I'd love to see sitting on my bench. Now, about those half naked ladies...

Ugly looking boards, but I'm sure they'll sell.

iindigo · « **Reply #19 on:** Thu, 15 September 2011, 09:59:55 »

Wait, so how do reds compare to browns and blacks for gaming? I've read a lot about browns and blacks but nothing about reds.

The ones that play Garry's Mod. Only game I play that requires a numpad.

Now this MMORPG one looks quite nice to me! Wondering if they will sell it in Germany too. (I like big keyboards...) I always wanted to try the reds.

Mazora · « **Reply #23 on:** Thu, 15 September 2011, 11:30:58 »

numpad was useful in Quake 2 to type the IP address.

Magna224 · « **Reply #24 on:** Thu, 15 September 2011, 11:41:03 »

That MMO one looks massive length wise. How long is it compared to a G80 POS, about the same?

daerid · « **Reply #25 on:** Thu, 15 September 2011, 13:12:42 »

Yuuuup. That FPS one is probably gonna be my next Red board.

IvanIvanovich · « **Reply #26 on:** Thu, 15 September 2011, 13:21:49 »

Those textured keys are certainly something different though not sure about the 2 piece look on the red ones. It might do better if it was black anodized though. I haven't seen any Corsair cases in plain aluminum and matching their cases could have been a selling point for some.

wompwomp · « **Reply #27 on:** Thu, 15 September 2011, 15:15:00 »

If only it was a brushed black aluminum color (which I'm sure they'll do when they decide to actually release this) and remove those extra media? keys on the from the frame, it'll look a million times better.

I use the numpad for FPS games, sadly. With how much I love tenkeyless these days I wish I learned using something else. Because of this my two boards at home are full size and my work boards are tenkeyless.

mod a nostromo n52 with cherry switches and you'll get the best of both worlds and have a 4 way thumb switch. Oh and i gamed mmo's for 10years using the numpad too as well.

Tried to search for this keyboard on the web but don't see them anywhere. What happened?

dorkvader · « **Reply #33 on:** Thu, 15 September 2011, 23:47:56 »

Corsair didn't want it leaked yet?

Remember all those stories about the prototype iphones getting lost, etc. Some companies are really intense about their stuff.

Also, Ohright about garry's mod. I need to play through that again soon.

They're up on Engadget, too. In their pics, these boards don't look bad at all. In fact, they have a nice, minimalist look to them.

They showed them off at a trade show and put them on their own site, so they're public. It makes zero sense to try to get the photos off the web.

Now, HURRY UP, CORSAIR! I want the k60 in UK layout asap!

Lamaboi · « **Reply #37 on:** Fri, 16 September 2011, 08:20:28 »

Looks very interesting. I like that they've put a bit more work into the WASD cluster and Spacebar - I play alot fps and those key's always wear/fade the quickest. Also, from all the pics I've seen so far i can tell that they go with both ISO and ANSI layout variants.

False_Dmitry_II · « **Reply #38 on:** Fri, 16 September 2011, 09:12:34 »

Nice. Though I think I'm more interested in the mice in this case. I've got a roccat kone plus that I would be happy with if the scroll wheel didn't have a problem. I could send it back if I'm okay with keeping 60% of what I paid for it...

monked · « **Reply #39 on:** Fri, 16 September 2011, 09:23:06 »

i like the idea of the keys on a higher level so there will be no more chips crisps and **** in your keyboard ^^

I like the look of these keyboards so far. Figures, announced the day my first Cherry MX red is getting delivered

Other Corsair products I've owned have been and are still working great. Hopefully these keyboards and mice will continue that trend.

I searched Engadget and couldn't find Scarlett's ass.

made my day

i seriously like the design and the whole conept of those boards... if you get K90 and the wristwrest and red keycaps of the K60 you would have the best of both...
i searched for a minimalistic board with reds or ghettoreds but ... **** that **** i ll just get a glowy bigassi corsair K90... the plating looks solid because of the high alu plating and the only thing that could suck are the keycaps!
if the dont do the $->€ **** they have a deal

thos macros could be a good thing for my SC2

Dwarf Fortress and Dungeon Crawl use the number pad.

I prefer a number pad to be honest.

iindigo · « **Reply #49 on:** Fri, 16 September 2011, 17:25:58 »

It's not a game, but some 3D modeling packages like Blender require the use of a numpad for viewport navigation. It's the reason tenkeyless isn't an option for me.
