Where can I find a Corsair K70 RGB MX Brown in stock? I'd love to find one, but Newegg and Amazon are all sold out and I can't for the life of me track one down?

Is Corsair running out of keyboards? What's going on.
Does anyone know where they have them in stock and could you link me?
I really just want MX Brown version of the K70 RGB though.

I wonder if they are having a production hold-up in order to maybe "upgrade" the pass-thru USB to USB3.0?
Or, are they "pulling the plug" on all versions except for the RGB ones?

I have been looking for the "standard" K70 with Brown switches & BLUE LEDs - but it appears that those were the ones where many users had problems with frequent failure of the LEDs. Boards with RED LEDs do not appear to have this problem - but I prefer the look of Blue or White LED illumination and really do not need the added "bling" and complicated set-up of the RGB version

Call up your local microcenter (if you have one) and they can special order one for you.

I live in rural Iowa so... closest microcenter in 6 hours away...
Guess I'll just have to wait until after new years, I can't track a single one down that isn't three times it's retail price.

blegh... Razer never again... and the Black Widow doesn't use MX keys, it uses Razers "Green" keys... They're like mushy MX Reds.
You want a Razer Taipan BF4 edition for like $33, it's live on my ebay account, same username.

I have been looking at the duckyshine keyboards, Coolermaster, and een Rosewill, but I don't see any matching the K70 in quality...
I'd like a Blue LED K70 with MX Brown too, but they don't even have those...

I'm testing the Black Widow chroma and I kinda like it. This is the first time I've used a mechanical keyboard so I guess i don't know what I may be missing with the cherry mx switches.
I would really like a K70 but once again,I can't find it anywhere and there's no way I'm paying some #&*%$^(@ $330 for a keyboard that should be $160-$190 at the most.
This colors on Back widow chroma look really good on the white background.
I think the keys on the K70 are a lot dimmer.
Also,I'm a little worried about the led's in both the Black widow chroma and K70.
The Razer led's are exposed like the old corsair ones that would fail.

Both are very new, but I haven't heard of any from the K70 going out yet, many of the owners of the first models from like 6 months ago says theirs all still work.
I just can't bring myself to use Razer products again, hate their software. Their keyboards are okay, but their mice are the most uncomfortable things.

Still expensive in browns...
I've given up on the K70/K95 RGB after reading page after page of software glitches that leads to LED profiles and even the lighs themselves to malfunction. I've even seen one first hand. Tried my friends, set up a cool profile, opened a steam game and BAM - all the lights froze, and didn't work again until I replugged the USB and restarted the PC. On top of that, it crashed the game as well, and sometimes gives him ungodly 5 minute bootimes, even with his SSD, and he's never had loner than 20 sec bott time with his old microsoft usb keyboard...

I'm waiting for Cherry MX RGB switches contract with Corsair to end, as I see other manufacturers are experimenting with them and preparing to releasee their own Cherry MX RGB models later this year. (roccat for example)
