Corsair gets exclusive Cherry contract and then ostracizes 2/3 OS's

I realize that this is my second post on this topic, but a friend of mine noted something interesting about Corsair's support of Linux/OSX.



Corsair negotiated an exclusive contract with Cherry for their RGB switches. They then proceeded to not support 2 of the 3 major OS's.



This means that the two major competitors who are releasing RGB keyboards at this time were both forced to develop their own keyswitches or use knockoffs. One of those competitors FULLY supports OSX.



Essentially what Corsair has done has told OSX and Linux users who want a Cherry keyswitch-based RGB keyboard to take a walk in the park. They themselves chose to not support OSX/Linux, but they also took away the ability for competitors to support OSX/Linux users with a Cherry RGB keyboard. It's really quite insulting.



Corsair, please release an official statement as to why you are choosing to not support the entire market despite having taken the market's ability to compete away and ostracized OSX and Linux users.
