When they decide to implement USB 3.0 pass through I may be bothered.
But have they actually sorted the awful key ghosting ? I use a K70 RGB at the moment and I think it is the worst keyboard I have ever used, I am sick of it always typing the wrong key or the same one multiple times.
I also dislike the CUE software, it just isn't reliable.
I have also used a K95, and K65 and they were both as bad as this K70.
I will never buy another Corsair product again, I have noticed a serious downward slide in quality over the past few years.
Hi Corsair, have you sorted the key chatter yet?

Yours,
A purchaser of one of your K70's who thought spending decent money on a keyboard meant it would last more than a couple of years!
Even a £5 jobby lasts longer!
"In a perfect world... spammers would get caught, go to jail, and share a cell with many men who have enlarged their penises, taken Viagra and are looking for a new relationship."
I have a keyboard based on cherry blue. I got it as it's basically a total copy (key size, shape, angle, spacing, etc) of the keyboard I had as a kid (with the addition of backlighting and macro keys) and as a result I can FINALLY touch type properly again without making endless mistakes (can I point out however that ironically it took me 5 attempts to type "without").
The problem is that at work we have these stupid low profile membrane keyboards and I can not type on them anymore with any kind of speed or accuracy. It's horrific. A decent keyboard design for typing properly on really does ruin you when you end up having to type on something shoddy and cheap.
I bought the K70 RGB a few years ago as well. Haven't noticed any ghosting since one of the old firmware updates though. The new CUE software is miles better than the original software (whatever the name of it was). So, overall I'm pretty happy with it.
To be fair to Corsair though, the ghosting issue is actually a Cherry issue and affects other branded keyboards using the same/similar keys.
But having said that, I can't disagree with you entirely. I once invested in a (Corsair) wireless headset and it was absolute excrement. That ended up in the bin. And then there's their PSU's...
I'm 50/50 about Corsair. Had both good and bad experiences.
I must be too old, I never ever thought you could spend £159 on a keyboard!
I got one of the first K95s and it works perfectly. Not a single issue at all over the years. The fact that it needs 2x USB ports is a bit inconvenient but that's all.
Less key travel and a lower profile, I would need to test it before I can say I'll like it. I am pretty used to MX browns now and will probably feel that something was off with this keyboards.
£160 is in line with the price of this kind of keyboard I suppose. I've paid more for a membrane one back in the days.
