On the Silver Cherry MX Red (CH-9000019-NA) Are the backlighting LEDs Blue, Red, switchable? Description says blue, then says red

No the silver and black keyboard comes with blue leds, the all black comes with red leds.

The backlighting on the sliver keyboard is indeed blue while the black keyboard is red. Not switchable, but you can adjust the brightness level.

there is only 1 color. if you buy the black version, the LEDs are red. if you buy the white version, the LEDs are blue.

No they're not switchable. the K70 comes in 2 colors Black & Silver. the black comes with red LEDs & the Silver comes with blue LEDs. (CH-9000019-NA) model is silver so it's with blue LEDs. sorry for the misunderstanding :)

Normally it should be red, I don't know why the discription says blue, but the 'MX red' should also definitely be with red LED lights. Also, its not switchable.

The illumination is blue. Red refers to the type of mechanical switch -- see here: http://www.keyboardco.com/blog/index.php/2012/12/an-introduction-to-cherry-mx-mechanical-switches/

The roccat Ryos Series keyboards are blue led only. If you want a keyboard that can change the led colors you could get the ROCCAT™ Isku FX keyboard. The Color of the Cherry Switches (Blue, brown, red, black) does not define the color of the leds.

There are three colors of LED backlights on the keyboard. They are manually controlled on the board by hitting FN+f1,f2,f3, or something to that effect. The really cool thing about the LEDs is that you toggle them on and off independently of each other meaning that you can mix colors to get a purple or cyan if you're really into it!

I use the logitech illuminated keyboard (awesome keyboard). The 2 kvm switched I listed above work with mine. I'm not sure about all function keys ( I didn't install the logitech software). The back lighting does work.

The keyboard has a blue backlight that can be easily turned on or off from the keyboard, beside the turbo fan switch. Works great.

Mine is. Pushing F5 toggles the backlight on or off. I bought the refurbished model here on Amazon. I believe the standard model does not have backlit keyboard.

I was curious if it was a true LED as well, decided to take one of the switches apart... It is indeed an actual LED (3mm size), and the LED itself on mine was blue (not just a white LED with blue tinted button).

This uses cherry mx red switches.(Source: I bought mine thinking it would come with blues)

The LED's are only available in red. CM has not released intentions to make this product in other LED colors.

they're actually all the same. it's just the matter of what types of switch (blue,brown, black for cherry). If you don't mind the noise, then blue is the loudest. In my opinion all are the same, so look at your budget and just buy the cheapest in the ones you list. They're all good keyboards.Or you can buy the Razer Blackwidow for $80. It's pretty good deal for a mechanical keyboard and it's pretty new, came out in September or October i forget.

This specific one you're looking at, is blue. If you look at the images of each one when you're searching through their keyboards you can see the difference. Hope this helps!

Sorry, I didn't see your question until now because it hit my spam folder. The backlit keyboard I have is is n5902, and the ones I have without the back-lighting are n5901. I really wanted to like the backlit one, but the touchpad just doesn't work nearly as well as the rollerball on the older model.Hope that still helps.Thanks!~D

The "color" of the switches mean the model of them, see an article about this here: http://tinyurl.com/73s9xfxBacklight is red on my keyboard.

No backlighting at all. The only blue LED's it has is for the caps lock, and a couple others, otherwise there are no lights on the keyboard.

All 7 are available on the keyboard. It is very easy to alternate between the colors. You can also select 3 different levels of brightness for the backlight. I use the backlight in meetings when the lights are low for a presentation. Most of the time I have the backlight off though.
