Does this use cherry MX blue switches?

Yes. This keyboard has Cherry MX blue switches with blue back-lit keys. The cherry MX blue key switches are super responsive. Typing with the blue switches is fun if you don't mind the loud noises.

They are blues up until this years model which uses new custom Razer "green" switches as a replacement.

Yes, the keyboard can be backlit in blue. You can also adjust the brightness of the keyboard using the F9 and F10 keys.

"The part number (ROC-12-851-BE) indicates that it is a Ryos MK Pro with Cherry MX Blue in US layout. It is a bit confusing since Amazon used our first set of pictures that have been released with the press announcement and since we are from Germany the first pictures came with a German layout." - Roccat Support 2013So yes, it does.

I have no idea, and it does use bluetooth for the keyboard connection. But I only used it a couple times.

You probably can't. They have three models: white, blue, and blue/red. I've seen the comment as well but my keyboard is only blue. Probably just a mix-up that's easily understood since there doesn't seem to be a part number on the keyboard and they look identical.

Yes it does, but not as a right click or left click ... You can change it and set what you want that click to be

Hello! The o-ring color has nothing to do with the cherry mx key color. They just represent the difference between thickness of the ring. Since the clicking sound of the mx blue comes from the actuation of the key itself, the only noise the o-ring get rid off will be the bottoming sound. Hope it helps.

I don't think so. The keyboard stays blue but the mouse cycles thru several colors.

The Blue switch is the type of actuator the keyboard uses, amd not the LED color, which is red. Hope I could help.

No. This is NOT the upcoming RGB mechanical keyboard that Corsair will release later this year. This keyboard has 1 color LEDs.

No, I guess they're not mechanical switch keys; Steelseries would specify that on their site for this keyboard if it were I'm pretty sure. The feel is very good, so some people think it is mechanical; I can't tell by using it. I recommend you find a Bestbuy that has one and check it out; you can probably even get them to hook it up to a pc so you can try it. Then thank them for their time and buy from Amazon for the better price :)

No. This keyboard has Rubber Dome switches instead of Mechanical switches for the keys. You can visit the Corsair website for the full catalog of keyboards that have different features and key switches.

I agree with Duc. All the latest mechanical keyboards use the same switches from Cherry, so they're give the same basic feel. In terms of price, the Razer keyboards, which use Cherry MX Blue switches seem the best and combined with the macro software is a rather great choice. I have two Filco Majestouch keyboards, one with Cherry MX Brown (tactile, but not clicky) and one with Cherry MX Blue (tactile + clicky) switches. In my opinion, I feel that the Cherry MX Brown switches are better for typing, but they're easier to fat finger, Blues are better for gaming as it's harder to mistype a key. The only thing is Cherry MX Brown switches are harder to come by in the US, but both Filco, which are now purchasable on Amazon via a merchant and the Das S Silent utilize said switches.

Yes mine has the Blue backlighted keys,I have the one with the MX Cherry blue Switches,I believe most of their models do. Unfortunately a Wrist Rest doesn't come with it. You may have to get an aftermarket rest like I will have to. Luckily they are not too expensive for a decent one. Other than works great so far

Does this keyboard have keys for Microsort Word like ctrl-B for bold-face type, etc.?

I don't really know but, it should. I got that keyboard and within a week, trashed it. It wanted to create it's own key functions while using it. None of the keys responded as they were supposed to. Ie..., the 'F' was some times, the 'H' key, none of them functioned properly at all. I should have sent it back for a refund but, it was cheap and I got what I paid for.

Yeah the old ones were cherry mx blues, if you can find the older model i highly recommend them. Had one for forever and it's still working. Been about 2-3 years now.
