I like the K60, but it's not backlit which is surprising and stupid.

Anyways, I know a K65 and K95 is coming out whenever, it seems like it was suppose to be a few months ago, but still not ETA.

So will the K90 and M95 be good for FPS like BF3, even though it's marketed for MMO which I've never played before.

I've heard people use the K90 for both rpg and mmos and its worked out fine for them.

They'll definitely be great for FPS.

The keyboard has the same Cherry MX Red mechanical keys that the FPS version has, it just offers more features designed for MMOs, such as macro keys.

Similarly, the M95 has all those extra buttons, designed for MMO players, but would still work great as an FPS mouse.

The M65 is designed for FPS with a sniper button that lowers DPI when held down. You should check that out if you're looking for a dedicated FPS mouse.

you would think it's common sense that the K60 should be back-lit, I know the new whenever it comes out K70 will be back-lit.

good point about the sniper button on the M65, i think my combo will be the k90 and m65

The K70 looks like it will be a really nice keyboard.

And yeah I completely agree.
I also think that backlit keyboards should be customizable. A large amount of gaming laptops have customizable backlighting, I don't know why this option hasn't moved to desktop keyboards.
