Maybe they are taking everyones feedback into account.
Most everyone's feedback has been very positive. The few extreme keyboard enthusiasts out there are very vocal, so if you read the other thread it seems like everyone's upset about one thing or the other, but it's really just a handful of people who have very specific requests that we did not meet.
That doesn't invalidate their opinions, though - we're taking that into account for future products.
These products were delayed to put a little bit of polish on them from a functional perspective - just a couple of small tweaks and quality control things we wanted to incorporate before launch.
Chances are you guys will never know the difference, but we would know, which bugs us a bit.
They're worth it though - I'm using the K60 and M60 (pre-tooling prototypes) at home for BF3 and they're great.
Unless you really committed to Corsair branding or are after the "look" of this board (not knocking it, as it does look nice), there are lots of really great choices available now IMHO. Give Filco, Leopold or WASD semi-custom a gander if you are after a truly great mechanical keyboard.
Any idea when we can expect these mice and some reviews? My mouse is on its last leg....

just got a das keyboard..so corsair is out of the picture. You lost my money blue
I really do not know why they did not make those keyboards fully mechanical...
If these were made by another company, no one would care.
Which das do you have?
...Well yeah, you kind of answered your own question there. It's really not "that" much, it's the going rate. The other more expensive keyboards don't have the macro keys at all.If you're looking for a mechanical keyboard, and if you're spending "that" much, why wouldn't you want to get a full mechanical keyboard instead of a hybrid mechanical + rubber dome? But.. I do understand for some it's just a discounted mx red based board. Which is cheaper than other reds unavailable to the mass public in NA.
I don't think you can make that conclusion, software can really affect the laser performance. I'll concede if you think the mouse weight is heavy that that is a constant though. Really though I'm looking for a mouse that gives me comfortable access to an array of macro keys.If you've used or experienced the sensor this mouse is based on, and have felt mouse of similar weight, then you'd already know what you're going to get. Overall it's not a mouse that tracks 1:1, and it's a heavy mouse. So it's not meant for low dpi, easy to lift off type of gaming.
There's an explanation at http://www.corsair.com/blog/vengeance-gaming-keyboard-keyswitch-technology/ which could make it sound intentional, but I don't buy it. They say it's to prevent accidental key strokes, but I don't understand why you wouldn't want to also have a button mashable macro key. Honestly I don't think they do either, it sounds like an article just to save face to me. Especially since the lower plane of the macro keys should already prevent accidental key strokes. I guess the cost of cherry reds really is high enough to make the reduction worth it? I don't really know the cost.I really do not know why they did not make those keyboards fully mechanical...
Show me the cherry red keyboard with 18 macro keys and 20 key rollover from another company and I'll buy right now. Heck, I'll also buy if they're cherry blacks, or 10 key rollover, just for you. Same goes for the mouse. It has that many keys and a decent DPI and I'm on it. I've already tried the razer naga and the g700 though, and am continuing to struggle to find one that feels right, but if you have another lined up I am all ears.If these were made by another company, no one would care.
i got the das silent with the cherry brown switches. The only thing that i miss from my ergonomic keyboard were the volume buttons. Besides that I am in love with this keyboard. That will probably will be the main selling point for the corsair are the multimedia keys and thats its a cherry red switch.
Only reason i started looking at keyboards were it was kind of hard to bind hotkeys 6-7 on the ergonomic while playing starcraft 2. I know its not a big issue, but i was irking and blaming my losses hotkey misclicks. I was only able to use 1-6 which i was pretty adept with, but i wanted to be able to use 7-9 a little more easier with one hand than 2.
Well, to save money of course, all the while charging full price.
Because no one would fall for a fringe company charging a premium for 3/4 of a mechanical keyboard, while many would since it's corsair?
No offense to you two, but the reasonings sound retarded.
Most people use f keys on a minute by minute basis.
Many MMO gamers use macro keys on a minute by minute basis
Corsiar's keyboard prices for the two aren't entry level prices. There are cheaper alternatvies for reds, and/or coming soon (depending on which you're comparing).
One of the biggest issue is consistency, I'm guessing that most would not like to get used to feeling one type of tactile response and then have to adjust to rubber dome response again on a daily basis. Especially when one of the main features of mechanial (even reds) is the ability to not bottom out to type.
The different height of keys is a major killer for me (considering I don't bottom out on mechanical). Decide this one for yourself.
On their mouses:
The problems with the sensor is inherent in the sensor. No software has been able to, or can fix it's issues.
But yes you're right that it's a good alternative to the naga/SSmmo mouse/newRat MMO mouse b/c at least it's better in quality, feel; Plus anything is better than PTE.
- As I said decide for yourself, because I don't bottom out when I was on reds for brief amount of time before I sold it. It's up to you how you use it and how you like reds.
- Do some acceleration testing or research on the web and just see how well avg 9500 tracks. My sensei does the same thing. There are graphs and results online which demonstrate the problems. But like I said it's still better than pte.
- People who's gotten tests/hands on have said they are heavy. Everyone, including Corsair have described the mouse to be heavy aka - unibody aluminum frame is heavier than plastic. Mouses have been measured to be around 160grams.
