Maximum PC: Call it a marketing play if you will, but Corsair is determined to demonstrate its commitment to PC gamers by creating a new division called Corsair Gaming. It's under this new title that Corsair will release new and rebranded peripherals for gamers, starting with three RGB keyboards (K95 RGB, K70 RGB, and K65 RGB), two RGB mice (M65 RGB in black or white color options), and a pair of headsets (H1500 and H1500).
Maximum PC: Corsair's Vengeance K70 RGB mechanical keyboard is supposed to deliver a color palette that's precisely 16,777,216 wide, which the industry rounds up to 16.8 million. However, a curious user who often works with Arduino LED projects noticed that something seemed off with his plank, so he did a bit experimenting. What he discovered was that Corsair's K70 RGB was only displaying 512 colors instead of the nearly 16.8 million advertised.
It looks like they moved that Sniper button back a little, closer to the rear, can any one confirm this. That was a terrible design flaw for the M60, I'll be willing to part with some cash to get an updated and closer sniper button. Thanks in advance to anyone who can confirm.
Looking my mouse now and looking at the picture.
I can confirm they did move it, looks directly under the thumb buttons.
Was a bit odd to use in it's previous place depending on hand style.
Glad to see that and I wasn't sure if my eyes were working when I saw this article originally. This is an improvement. Good decision on their part.
Yes, I believe you are correct. thanks for the reply. I've since looked up the mouse on Newegg and the Sniper button has been fixed. The White version is already available and the Blacks ETA is 12/31/2014.
I love the IDEA of the RGB keyboard but I know from experience that having things in my peripheral vision flash and twinkle gets real old real fast. I would end up picking one color that gives the best contrast and leave it there. Since I already have the white K95 board, I will pass. But the RGB slab does look awesome!
The K95 is sick. I remember seeing preview videos of it months ago. The lighting effects are off the chain. It is the only jackhammer keyboard I would seriously consider buying.
