Functionally designed with the key switches mounted directly through a solid 2mm aluminum top plate, each key is effectively locked down for a solid typing experience.
Specially designed dual-coat laser etched gaming keycaps allow customization for your most common gaming keys, for fast tactile recognition without looking away from your game. An attachable keycap case is also included to keep your keycaps and custom keycap tool in one place.
Complete with backlit media control buttons, a die-cast volume roller, and an integrated digital LED volume display, media control is now more convenient than ever.
Packed with on-the-fly macro recording, 6 additional macro keys, 3 hotkeys (Windows lock, brightness, and timer), and easy-access mode selection keys, you can customize and switch your keyboard layouts for swift responses and immediate access to the actions you need, right at your fingertips.
Don't let your mouse cable get in the way of gaming; prevent snagged cables with the foldable mouse cable holder.

Thanks G.Skill, for keeping your customers on the level of a retarded, unambitious preschooler.
Corsair k series and even the BlackWidow aren't over the top.
Also, Apple keyboards are not designed for Windows. They are designed to be minimalist and not to venture beyond the keys required for 60% / tenkeyless / full-size.
Producers of PC-hardware absolutely don't get it when it comes to nice-looking designs. They are still living in the 90s. Corsair does have a few good looking devices in store (like the Strafe-keyboard), still delivering nice functions. Lian-Li is also doing a good job on case designs. But have a look at the rest and compare with products from Apple - it's embarrassing and an insult for us gamers. Most of us are grown-ups and don't have their Desktop-PCs locked away in the nursery. My workstation is for gaming, graphics design, a multimedia-center for the living-room, too. At least my K90 from Corsair is made from aluminium and a bit more reduced in design. But still not perfect.
I am absolutely pro PC and against Apple-hardware in my own house (!). As I do have many friends and co-workers who are on that "Only Apple!"-wave it's always a kind of an embarrassing moment when they come visiting me, seeing my desk. :D I love my Lian Li X500FX. But when it comes to comparison they are right: most PC-desktops look like shit.
For now 3 models are in competition all with mechanical Red or Brown Switches.
1. Cherry MX Board 6.0
2. Deck Hassium Pro
3. CORSAIR Vengeance K70 non RGB
This biggest chance have Hassium Pro and Board 6.0
Tannhauser is completely right, manufacturers design expensive hardware mostly for people who earn money to pay that like someone who still go in school. Mostly hardware is design to be placed in children rooms...
It's very hard to meet something what adult person could install in living room.
Motherboards with Dragons... Lightshow over keyboard as SF movie from 60th.
When I see bunch of different profiles on forum I feel sick.
Because of that I will buy keyboard for someone who build keyboards for different purposes
20-30y and I will not change that as fashion detail for 1-2 year.
Somehow I like and small keyboard.
Deck make two great models.
One Hassium Pro for desktop and Francium Pro for rucksack if you want to use with laptop somewhere.
GSkill should continue to offer nice memory modules under their flag.
They have best performance for price on market 99% and probably most awards and records of all memory producers.
Lian Li has just announced a new case, the PC-X510. Yes, it's a "good-looking case". At least the minimal front. But look at the details. Why those stupid diagonal design elements everywhere? To have some "robotic/technical, future look"?! This is a design element MANY producers of PC-devices rely on. And it's pure helplessness! The minimal design approach simply destroyed again. And look on top at the little bezel. Why isn't it straight concluding on level with the upper edge? It's a bit lowered. For no reason. Those are the details Apple is winning with.
