If corsair improved their qc for their rgb line and had software that wasn't buggy as hell I would recommend their new keyboards but after dropping near $200 on it I am going to return it. When their qc and software improve I may pick it up again.

I have a K70 (IIRC) keyboard and it's the best keyboard I've ever owned, flat out.  For reference, I am 37 and I started gaming on an Atari 400 before we even got our first 8088.

I don't doubt their older line ups, older k70s I haven't heard or read anything bad about. Their new rgb k70 keyboards though are rife with issues. I did a more detailed post about it in another thread.

But especially in the blue switch model things are pretty bad. Keys not working, mushy blue switches, switches that aren't clicking. Super disappointing for the price and how long the wait has been. A friend who ordered a blue switch rgb k70 and got a third of the keys closer to brown switches that didn't click when pressed returned his and wrote a rather negative newegg review at least got a call from corsair offering to send a replacement. He turned it down in favor of waiting for further production models that have improved their qc.

I have two Corsair K65's - one for work and one for home. I love it. It's a smaller size and very well made. It uses Cherry Red caps - I wish it came with blue caps - my only dislike.
 
Also the price is super cheap for a high quality mech keyboard. Highly recommended if you want cherry red.

The funny thing is, corsair is like the beats of mechanical keyboards, but us audiophiles don't really care enough. Still, it says gaming, and corsair k70 has some useful things for gaming.

Except Beats is infamous for having poor quality and being overpriced.  My Corsair K70 is the best keyboard I've ever owned and it's built like a tank.
 
If it were like Beats, you'd be able to suggest something that's cheaper AND better.  I'd certainly be open to suggestions.  I tried the Monoprice mechanical keyboard, which is a lot cheaper, but it FEELS a lot cheaper.  What would you suggest that's so much better as to make the Corsair look like Beats (or Bose)?

That was the point.

Yeah, now read the rest of my post, huehue.  Suggest something that is cheaper and built better or we know you're just trolling.

I second that emotion - I test-ran a Razer® Tron: Legacy® 'board (an official Disney-licensed product) on my house's main 'puter, and it broke in four weeks, not even being stressed.  Makes one wish for one of those bombproof 124-key IBM® Model F's of yesteryear....

oh yeah I had the mouse from that same crappy line and it broke after like a year, more than 4 weeks but still disappointing, the sensor died.
