So I notice this evening thst my # and \ keys are completely unresponsive on my K95 RGB.

That would be a serious deal breaker for me.. Fingers crossed when mine comes it works properly.. Or are unresponsive keys wide spread? :S

There's a big thread about it on the Corsair forums.

I've only had a quick skim through and it sounds like Corsair just need to enable it in the software.

"just".

If it's that easy, why hasn't it already been done ?

Also, I'm using another keyboard to type this post before you ask how I typed \ & #.

Did you update to the latest firmware? This was a problem for all K95 owners before the latest firmware update.

I did actually, and I reapplied it and restarted etc. After 2 complete keyboard crashes/freezes whilst playing Planetside this evening I return to this thread and realise they are working again. Very strange.

Now I can hashtag as much I as I usually do, which is never.

For those who are having issues with certain keys (\, #, <, >, etc) not being lit, just make sure to flash the KB's FW to 1.13 and that should take care of it. Also, make sure to restart your system after FW update is completed.

I sincerely hope when I get my RGB (with sails logo) that it just works!
Am I asking too much?

It probably will work, but not as advertised.

16,8 million colours, apparently.

A few minor firmware issues.

Like many others, I waited for this product. Waited a bit longer for Corsair to get it right. It appears that the marketing guys got the better of the engineers and quality control. I'd expect a £140+ keyboard to work without problems.

I couldn't agree more, I shall remain with my fingers crossed in anticipation of my keyboards arrival.

You should be fine.. if you spot an issue let me know right away.

Still absolutely no sign of the blue switch version of either the K70 or K95. It wouldn't be so infuriating if Corsair at least had the decency to keep retailers and in turn customers informed of the situation. As it is, nobody seems to have a clue when these will actually be available.

The reds are available. The browns are available. So why the hold-up with the blues?

Well the place where I got my store credit from said that they're only getting the CGK SKU and weren't planning on getting a different SKU in the foreseeable future so I decided to bite the bullet and go for the CGK70.

It still doesn't look anywhere near as nice as the sails logo but in person the logo doesn't look that bad, and it is slightly embossed.

Thanks, your attention on here is appreciated.

I got fed up waiting for the MX blue k70 rgb and brought a qpad keyboard may well buy a k70 rgb
when they get the supply and software problems sorted.

Since the latest firmware update I have found that the light brightness switch nor the windows lock key works.

A certain retailer is now listing the ETA of the blue switch K70 and K95 as 15th December. Fortunately i already gave up waiting and got the brown switch K95 last week.
