lol, implying gold contacts
lol, implying gold contacts will lower the latency of an electrical signal in any meaningful way.
Seriously, Corsair, if you’re going to market gold contacts, market them for their anti-corrosion and longevity reasons.
Have the at least switched to
Have the at least switched to a standard width spacebar, that would be nice.
It looked somewhat
It looked somewhat appealing…until I saw that it’s a full one, instead of TKL…
Good decision on the logo!

Wait..red leds! Wont that
Wait..red leds! Wont that burn your hands. I always use blue leds cause it makes everything run cooler.
I want super bright RGB Leds,
I want super bright RGB Leds, no bullshit weirdo keys and a full programable API or even better the Source Code. Make this stuff Open Source and i bet it will be cheaper to get some good working software.
It’s nice to see that
It’s nice to see that keyswitches are something that is receiving attention once again, but I’m still waiting for a modern buckling spring keyboard. No cherry switches feel quite as nice as a Model M.
