MSI today introduced the GK-701 RGB mechanical gaming keyboard. Built with a standard 104-keyset, the GK701 RGB features Cherry MX Speed Silver mechanical switches with RGB LED lighting, which can be controlled using MSI Mystic Light RGB software. You get hotkeys that set LED lighting and color from across a 16.7 million color palette on-the-fly, as well as some groovy lighting effect presets. The keyboard also offers multimedia hotkeys, and macro keys. The keyboard is rated for up to 50 million key presses per key. The company didn't reveal pricing.

Is that really the Spider-Man font I see there on the keycaps??



.. My bad. It's not even close!! Those in the pic are in italics!

But seriously, there are some subtle differences with the font, but it does look very similar also.. The curved bottom/tops of the letters I guess really does it.

Thanks for copying that :)

yes, same font, just regular and capital letters

Would be a shame if their boss knew that they spent about 3 hours on it and did nothing the rest of the time :)
