Corsair K95 user reporting in!

Anyways anyone here has bought or sourced Corsair FPS Replacement Keycaps? The red contoured ones meant for the K70. Would like to get a set for the K95.

Corsair Vengeance K70 Cherry MX Red.

Hahahah no I got the K95. But it's basically a K70 with an extra bank of 18 macro keys and white LED backlight.

The K70 has red LED backlight instead. But otherwise, the Cherry MX Red keys are fantastic for gaming.

However, you can also get a custom mechanical keyboard like the Ducky or Filco MKBs since the layouts are similair to the K70, but you have more customizing options.

Got mine for only RM380. Day old unit. So I'm happy.

Yup get the ducky. Solid cherry MX switches. No nonsense design. None of that gaming switch crap or extra LED panels. Don't know why there has to be a ddistinction between gaming boards and mechanical anyways. You can play DoTA just fine on a Poker iI anyhow or BF4 on a Filco.

Be warned that Blue can get a bit loud when used heavily over long periods though.

Corsair makes mechanical gaming keyboards. How do we split that? Is it a gaming board? Or a mechanical keyboard?

Or Deck Hassium. Or CM Quickfire. The term gaming has been marketed by companies to a point where Normal gaming keyboards have taken preference over proper mechanical ones. Nothing wrong to have proper mechanical switches. I'd rather take a MX Red Ducky over a Razer Deathstalker.

The MKB thread is more for pure mechanical KBs. Gaming keyboards can be anything. Like I said, even 60% poker can be used for competitive DoTA. So why not?

As for them being bias, in the end its their money their choice. But no harm recommending a solid MKB? No?

Hahaha no, it's just loud for other people if you use over long periods. If you're using it at home alone then no issues.

And not really. There are expensive membrane ones as well. But you get my point above.

Yeah as long no one working nearby should be fine. My friends have caused havoc in offices they use MX Blue in. Either colleagues buy headphones, radio's or shift further.

Was about to say you already tried it. Looooool.

Bro the SWITCH is supposed to last for years. Shoddy construction, slack QC and lousy PCBs curtail the overall lifespan of the MKB itself. RMA it and see what happens. Lucky my sixth month old K95 is still kicking.
