i got my Corsair K70 last thursday. really love the aluminium plates, blue switches and LED backlight.

next 3 months, its time to rip out the old keycaps and replace with blank ones.

if im not mistaken, Max Keyboard do sell universal keycaps set. a good example of video :

Corsair K70 Translucent Keycaps

EDIT : and yeah. those keycaps are hard to find, unless im willing to DIY.

Not For Sale.

all the custom mech kb manufacturers do sell those full set keycaps, right?

if you are a real typist, go for blue switches. the one you mentioned is a red switch version (my Corsair K70 is blue switch).

but, i suggest you to take Ducky keyboards. they are very awesome.

i always refer blue switches as a typewriter switch.

the mighty Ducky Shine 3 can be found at C-Zone now.
i got my limited Corsair K70 Blue switch from there.

i was once guided at here before but i ended up getting Corsair K70.
im not that type of into extreme customization person, some more im a fast typist. so getting a blue switch is very good enough for me.

p/s : is contoured and specially curved keycaps really rare? my WASD keycaps are one of them.

disagree, i can say Ducky is still the best mech keyboard maker.
maybe i will buy another set of Ducky mech when i got a good income.

for a mech kb expert, they always consider about the PCB board within the keyboard itself. switches and housing are just an essential.

now im still wondering is my Corsair K70 really using a dual layer PCB.

my brother, which was a Ducky keyboard user, told me it has something to do with the transfer rate of every keys pressed. not clear about this but i could remember what he said to me.

im one of them bro.

but im still happy with it. blue switches are always my favourite.

that means i have to stick with fancy colours for my Corsair K70?
what about blank translucent ones?

looks like the keyboard we used in our good old days.

oh my god, this is truly the ancestor of all keyboards.

im in doubt either. even if they are able to put a 6 KRO onto a laptop, maybe the PCB board will be very thick. hence, the laptop's thin profile cannot be kept.

its a circuit board, brah.
i mean that since a mech kb has 6 KRO (as default), normally the board itself will be thicker than laptop keyboard's board. so if you are going to plant that thing into your laptop, are you able to close it perfectly?

it is the only switch that require most force when compared to the other switches but it doesnt give a loud click when registered. for typists, some may prefer Cherry MX Clear as the Cherry MX Blue sounds like a typewriter when pressed.

for casing, aluminium is always da best (best if brushed).

EDIT : metal alloy casings has better corrosion prevention. im sure you dont even want your keyboard to rust when it turns older, right?

when people talked about plastics, majority will say, "sure cheapo stuff".
