The keyboard color is in between the CTRL and K-Type right?
Will this be available in the K-Type color?

jasonclevineThe colorway of this keyboard is the same as CTRL (both the aluminum anodize color and the keycaps). We currently do not plan to make a version using the K-Type colorway (clear anodization, white keycaps).

john.yuThats surprising, it looks so much lighter than the CTRL in pictures.
Is the light pipe present in all switch options? Will I lose light pipe if I use after market switches?

jasonclevineYes, all switches that we're supplying for this drop will have light pipes. The BOX switches have a slightly different design of light pipe/housing. This was a change made by Kaihua/Kailh (outside of our control), but we've seen samples and they still look good. Other compatible switches (MX plate mount) will still work, but they might not diffuse the LED lighting quite as evenly. That said, the density of LEDs on this keyboard is quite high so the RGB lighting should still look pretty good [IMHO].

john.yuCould we get a photo with the CTRL and the ALT right next to each other? If you look at the photos on the respective Massdrop pages, the CTRL case looks a lot closer to the darker of the two shades of the keycaps and the ALT looks like the lighter of the two.
