Yes, It does, here is the Vengence model compared to the 'Gaming' model.

What do you mean? The gaming logo is only on the older edition of keyboard, if you look at the newer K70s and such it now has the ship and sails. Edit: Keyboard A and Keyboard B. And yes, I can only find it in non RGB at the moment.

this one looks like fun

IT'S JUST SO GREAT. (sorry about the dog hair, just got excited and had to post)

• Corsair k70 RGB(old model)
  
• Gamdias HEPHAESTUS
  
• BIC Atlantis 1.6mm
  
  If you can't tell, these all get daily use. The cans were an impulse buy because they were on sale some time ago, and I haven't regretted it a bit, they're little toyish but quite effective.
  
  Keyboard was more or less the same, I had been using a Razor Lycosa for years that was a hand me down from a friend and I had just gotten really tired of a lack of clicks when typing. The fact that it has so many fun little RGB functions was just the icing on the cake, although I must say the switches are crazy sensitive, typing effectively took some getting used to.
  
  The pens are pretty generic but I can't stop using the damned things, writes well on every surface, smooth roll, comfortable and the clip is actually metal (don't know what, it's magnetic though) so it doesn't break.
  
  Alright, I hope I did this right, will post again when I've got things cleaned up a bit.

this is the exact one

But I got this when it was one of the first programmable mechanical RGB boards, and there are more up to date versions of this board that im sure are better in some way, as well as other options that accomplish the same thing and are cheaper. I bought mine for around $170 new

Yes, it is an RGB model. can do a search for RGB keyboards to find them. They are fairly new and only a few companies can make them. Razer is chorma. Corsair RGB K70 is the big one right now. But none of these come in clears. Will have to wait for Ducky or other keyboard companies to start making these before they are available in MX Clears.

Edit: not sure about the chroma, but the K70 gaming board has really cool things you can do with the lights: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eJsDFXh9QDg&feature=youtu.be

This is my keyboard that I picked up for cheap, I'm not a big fan of RGB crap and was hoping to get rid of it. I was told the bottom row is non-standard though which a little bit of a bummer.

Looking to buy my first mechanical keyboard. Usage is 50% typing, 50% gaming (lots of both, but the gaming tends to be casual), typically with the keyboard in my lap while on a couch but sometimes on a desk. No experience so I'm sort of guessing about what i think i'll want, but here's everything I'm using to try to pick one...

• price: $150 USD or less. Can go up to $200 for one that's clearly better than cheaper options, but hoping not to have to. I'm in the US, so price would include shipping there.
  
• layout: TKL or 75%. Strongly desire something smaller than full-size. Use F keys and home/end/del/pUp/pDown frequently, so don't think 60% or smaller would be a good idea. Would be moved around a lot, so slimmer and lighter is better, but not to the point where it feels bad to use.
  
• switches: big guess here. I know that I want quiet as possible, so no blues/greens/etc. Suspect that I'm a light typer, so probably lower activation switches? Briefly tried a Razer BlackWidow Chroma, Logitech g910, and Corsair K65 RGB with mx reds at Best Buy. Hated the Logitech (felt squishy), disliked the Razer (liked the bump but too loud, too firm, and the caps felt bad), and loved the Corsair (switches felt crisp, actuation pressure felt good). From this I'm guessing my ideal MX switches would be Browns, but I haven't actually tried any, much less for an extended period.
  
• backlighting: flexible on this. Can live with none, but some would be nice since I often have to put my hand back on the keyboard in a dark room. Ideal would be the ability to turn it on/off per key with different profiles per game. Barring that, lighting WASD-only or in a different color from everything else would be nice. Color preference (in descending order) would go RGB, orange, blue, white, purple. Green or red I would probably just leave turned off.
  
• cord: because of use on a couch, cord must be able to take some light abuse. Removeable cords that plug straight into the back are probably no good. Ones that are better sheltered (like this Choco Mini) should be OK. Standard non-removeable should be OK. Wireless could work, but would need to be reliably latency-free with no cutting in and out. Wireless seems rare so I've been ignoring it in favor of more important factors.
  
• customizability: ability to switch caps lock with left control is a nice plus. Any further programmability is a small plus. I don't care at all about ability to replace keycaps right now unless it's required to turn a bad board into a good board and the price is factored in. If I get to a point in the future where I want to start playing with custom keycaps I'll buy a second board then. So non-standard bottom rows and things like that don't bother me.
  
• style: don't want anything beige or white. Really like the brushed metal look of the Corsair K65/K70. Standard black plastic is fine, ideally matte rather than glossy.
  
• misc: I've seen a couple with thumb buttons. This sounds great to me in theory, not sure how well I'd use them in practice. Counting this as a small plus right now.
  
  Some boards I was considering:
  
  
• Royal Kludge RC930-87 RGB with 45g switches. Right now the top of my list. Fits price, layout, cord, style, close to ideal backlighting, more than necessary customizability, and from what little I've been able to find on it the 45g switches (dental banded Topre clones) should feel pretty good to someone who likes reds and browns. Main problem with it is having to wait 3 months to get it from MassDrop (but I want it noooooow!).
  
• Roccat Ryos TKL Pro. Fits price, layout, cord, switches, backlighting, customizability, and has extra thumb buttons (which sound great to me in theory, but dunno how much I'll like them in practice). Sort of fails in style (looks kind of ugly to me, and the sides and back seem unnecessarily bulky for a form factor that's supposed to be trying to save space, although the wrist rest is actually a small plus to me rather than a minus). Everyone seems to like telling people not to buy this board, but never says why, just gives responses like "No. Just no." What about it is so obviously bad that I'm missing?
  
• Ducky Shine 3 TKL: Fits layout, cord, switches, customizability, style. Not sure if you can turn backlighting on/off per key or not. If so, fits backlighting well, otherwise so-so. Not sure about price since I don't know where actually to buy one. They seem to be sold out everywhere I look. Seems very highly recommended.
  
  So... If anyone's still reading, any thoughts on the boards listed? Or any other boards I should be considering?
  
  Edit: I should add that I'd be comfortable buying parts and assembling them myself, but when I looked at that quickly it seemed too expensive. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

http://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Gaming-Mechanical-Keyboard-CH-9000068-NA/dp/B00N2ROO2S is it that one?

Amazon shows the new 2016 models with sails.

K70 2016 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B014W1YUAS/ref=cm_sw_r_other_awd_EwZIwbJ4P65DJ

K70 "Old" https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00N2ROO2S/ref=cm_sw_r_other_awd_hzZIwb0RKQ6N2

Mine is this model.

Corsair has a RGB keyboard which lights up multiple colors which can be found here!

or i know you dont want one solid color but there the ducky shine 3 option which i believe is the best mechanical keyboard out there, you can only change the color of the space bar though but there are different color options and different designs you can make the keyboard do like a wave, or snake pattern, you can watch videos on it on youtube if you would like you can see this product here!

I found this on amazon in MX Red. If you can find the model number of the one with the right switch and then search google for that you might find some options.

With 3000 euros to spend (3442.80 USD), you have more than enough to buy everything you want.

Here is a beautiful case you might be interested, I believe it has SLI support but if it doesn't there should be a similar case from the same company that's a little bigger.

This is a great 144Hz 1440p Monitor

And the Corsair K70 RGB Gaming Keyboard with Cherry mx switches.

I'm not too great on picking out pc components themselves but these should get you started.

Amazon has them right here: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00N2ROO2S/ref=cm_sw_su_dp
