  1. Looks good. I would prefer Cooler Master over Corsair personally as Corsair software just doesnt work right.

  2. I love the option of choosing the key style. blue for me all the way !

    Looks great IMO.

  3. They face a lot of competition. I think the razer black widow is the best, but its like £120 now. seems excessive for most people. even if it is b uilt like a tank.

  4. When it will launch in US? Anyone know? Thanks
