Well, one thing that is for sure, the gamer's keyboard market seems to be getting more and more crowded with no signs of slowing down. So, perhaps this boom is here to stay for a while. I don't think one can easily escape from any mechanical keyboard vendors without spoting a RGB keyboard. Even Matias is putting out backlit keyboard (with scissor switches however, I think). The latest innovation in that area is to store the lighting program in the onboard memory, some comes with 8MB of that. So, look out for some very fancy color effects to either excite the player or to drive the competition crazy with brilliance.....
The second trend seems to be retro styling. There are quite a few keyboards trying to emulate that old-school typewriter look and feel. Now, I am waiting for some clever vendor to use 400g load springs for the key switches to complete the effect. Nothing wrong with that, just that fashionable things seem to come and go and then come back again. At this rate, we will have a psychedelic RGB lighting retro typewriter style caps with 400g weighted keys mechanical keyboard. Maybe Unicomp could put out a RGB lighted buckling spring Model M keyboard? Welcome to a blast to the past.
