We hear You.

As many of you know we launched our new Corsair Gaming line of peripherals this week. We’ve received a ton of feedback on the products and new logo. We are amazed and humbled by the passion our customers have for the original Corsair sails logo. The ship + sails are here to stay and will continue to be used on all Corsair PC component products.

However, we know many of you prefer the classic logo on our keyboards, and you’ve made your voices heard. For those of you looking for the new K70 RGB with the original sails logo, it’s currently available in North America from Newegg – just look for the SKU CH-9000063-NA. What’s more, as a direct result of your feedback, we will continue to sell and manufacture the Vengeance K70 and Vengeance K70 RGB with Cherry MX Red switches, with the sails logo, via select retailers and Corsair.com.

Let’s keep talking!

Hopefully we will hear soon when the K70 reds with the 'correct' logo become available. :D
 
Is the old logo keyboard actually going to be available in the UK? I read somewhere that the K70 RGB with the red switches/old logo is only available in America.

Still waiting on news for K65 availability, not sounding very promising though.
 
the pictures are for illustrative purposes only

The keyboard we sell is ISO (UK) layout unless otherwise stated.
 
Anyone getting one of the new RGB's DO NOT update your firmware, It breaks something and only lets you select north america, chinese or taiwan instead of UK in the key layout meaning some of the lights get turned off.

Corsair are aware and will maybe fix this sometime in the future with a simple firmware update.

Yep, just had that with my K95... so happy right now

NOT

Very impressed with the hardware quality. Also come from blues to brown switches, and am a happy bunny. The software is crap. The firmware update clearly hasn't helped and has the bug mentioned in the quote.

It worked temporarily but switching USB port gave me the stupid bug.

Also, my Steam has started crashing randomly... Corsair Utility Engine is the only newly installed software. Not looking good Corsair...

Can you revert to earlier versions of the firmware?

Only if you backed the FW up or know someone with a UK RGB K95 that hasn't updated just yet, They could back up their firmware and then send it to you via email, It's what I've been trying to do with no luck so far, Everyone seems to have updated :(

Looking around on Corsair's forum, apparently it wouldn't work anyway cause the version of the software checks the firmware version and wouldn't let you change anything if it wasn't a version match. Which is an awful shame.

Wow Corsair royally messed up here, If they haven't fixed it in a day or so then I'm going to get a refund and never touch a Corsair keyboard again, Given me nothing but trouble so far.
 
On an unrelated note, I can't wait until they have the proper program sorted and add coding. As a software developer I want to get my hands on the real powerful coding/scripting that is coming in the future!

Yeah it is sad. I have faith in Corsair for the moment. But if they haven't sorted by the end of the week, I might be looking at a return.

People need to start voting more with their wallets, One of the reasons FW fixes/updates come so slowly is because they know they can take their time and no one will do anything about.

Which switch is best? Red , Blue or Brown? don't understand which is best?

Red is the lightest only requiring 45g of force to actuate and popular with twitch shooters and don't give you any click at the bottom, Browns are like reds but they give you a little click once actuated but you can only feel it not hear it and blue's are loud clicky and you can feel the click at the bottom too.

A little video gives a good explanation :)
