Can you confirm what style logo the units have? Sails or that horrible tramp stamp one they did for a bit?

Doubt its got the classy sails logo. Either the tramp stamp or the flaming fire logo.

Are all mechanical keyboards noisy ?? As in more noisy than a normal keyboard? I have never used one before?

Yes they are noisier than a normal keyboards

you might want to check out youtube for some videos on the difference.

Personally it does not bother me.

dazzlaa · 7 Feb 2017 at 15:22

Never even thought of checking youtube! Doh!

Just got an email saying my order is out of stock. If I maintain my order will you ever have stock in again to fulfil it?

Ah sorry the email confused me while I was busy at work. I understand now.

Yes but you can put o-rings under the keys to make them quiet.

I use one of these, they're nearly perfect - the followup K70 RGB Lux model adds usb-passthrough, which coming from a Das Pro I keep going to use.

I'd recommend the K70 RGB highly though - currently my endgame keyboard.

When I'm gaming at home or working with my headset on I can't hear my Red Switch keyboards.

We also all have mech keyboards here in the office and the noise doesn't impinge or annoy anyone.

If we all had Blue switch keyboards then that might be a different story as they purposefully have a little mechanism in them to make a click sound (and feel) when you press them. Otherwise I don't think mech keyboards are any noisier than someone who types heavy on a membrane keyboard.

Hope that helps, if you have any more q's then check the guide in the peripherals thread and/or post in there and we'll answer them

Nice deal, already have this board its lovely.

Marky · 7 Feb 2017 at 18:49

Ordered one late last year and in just a couple of months the RGB lights went a little nuts - "H" is now permanently red, and some other keys aren't behaving either...

Other than that it's a damn sexy keyboard

But don't think I'd go for RGB again...

kieran_read · 7 Feb 2017 at 19:23

How are the LEDs? Like Marky said above I have read a lot about LEDs dying after just 6 months.

Has any improvements been made or change if supplier?

NikTheSHNIK · 9 Feb 2017 at 15:28

So I've looked into this for you guys - looking at the return rate for the keyboards it stands at 3.69% which also includes unwanted returns which were 37.5% of that 3.69%. 2% is about average return rate for keyboards over a year.

To me it doesn't look like there is any particular issue with the keyboards. Probably more to do with the sheer quantity sold and therefore there will be a higher # of failures and therefore more # of people shouting about it online.

As always if anyone has any issues then contact us and we'll sort it out!

FYI - The stock was delayed while the distributor contacted Corsair to confirm the support to get the cost down to this price (they couldn't respond back due to being blinded by RGB). Eventually they managed to, at random, spam the keyboard until they strung the correct letters together to form a "YES". The stock will land tomorrow. I've arranged with sales that anyone who has paid for Next Day delivery will receive Saturday delivery for no extra charge. Contact sales if this is an issue and they can put you back on next working day delivery.
