Guys, I'm just looking for red WASD key caps. Found nothing from here:

Any other alternative?

Anyone using CM Storm rapid i as well?

Apparently there are actually 6 lighting modes instead of the 5 mentioned in all catalogues/advertisements.

Thee 6th one lights up all keys in all 4 directions of the keys you pressed. Thinking of it as the movement of a castle in a game of chess. Pretyy cool actually!!

And I don't know why I could assign some keys using just the F1 to F4 buttons (blinking lights) without even touching the dedicated M1 to M4 buttons... hmm.gif

Ya, stocked Rapid-i got 6 lighting mode.
It can have more lighting modes as you can configure by re-program the firmware.

Ohhh before the snake game started, I noticed that my F1 was blinking, it could just be that. Quite strange as I'm only using the official firmware update from the CM website smile.gif

whats your opinions on this keyboard? might be getting this one in this week

Pretty good actually. Love the brown switches smile.gif

Only thing I dislike is the right angled usb cable but it's only a small issue biggrin.gif

When you use full layout, you have to open your hands wide open like a bear. Using a TKL, it's actually more comfortable because your right hand don't have to stretch out too much

Sexy pictures!
I like the frame/case that Rapid-i is using. But, sadly, it's RUBBERIZED which is no good if I want to paint on it.  tongue.gif

Thanks. You want to paint it white? lol actually the rubberized body is quite nice smile.gif

QUOTE(ntw @ Feb 16 2015, 10:22 PM)
which shop did you get it from? that's quick for any retail shop to give a hassle free one-to-one replacements. few months ago when the k70 was plague with dead LED issues, most buyers need at least 2weeks of "inspection" to get a replacement.  cry.gif  cry.gif

Nah. I went to the distributor directly, Ban Leong. Got the replacement on the spot because they have stock. smile.gif

ON the other hand, my personal experience is that Cherry MX feels like a robot, while Topre switches are "alive" because they REALLY bounce back at you when you press it.

This caught my attention. Guess I really have to try topre switches one day tongue.gif

I had a look around and while mostly cost around 300-400, why are rosewill kbs are cheaper? I mean they use the same switches right...they even have longer warranties.

What makes them cheaper then the rest? I wish mech kb are easy to find around my area so I get to feel the switches..

I think blues or browns should appeal to most people hmm.gif

I received my red led cover shades already but it cut off so much light so the red backlight is dim and it doesn't look very pretty. Guess I'll just use back the white LED sad.gif

It will not light-up under normal mode.
You have to press FN + PRTSC to on the light.
Have a try and feedback.  icon_idea.gif

Cool! It works! haha laugh.gif

I really thought I got another dead LED doh.gif
