UPDATE 14/02/14 6:11PM: Just a quick update, almost all of the orders placed before 2PM today went out successfully but there were a handful of hiccups. If something went wrong with your order, you will receive an e-mail shortly. Don't worry, we have stock, just an error at dispatch and rest assured your order will be sent out on Monday. I'd like to apologise for the inconvenience.

UPDATE 14/02/14 10:09AM: Hope you're having a heart warming valentine's day! Just update you on what's happening, the response from you guys has been amazing, more than we anticipated! Especially with the Deck Samplers! For all those who ordered one, we hope to unite you with this nifty little trinket soon :)

In the past we would usually include a hard copy of an invoice with every order (the same one which your received electronically when you ordered). However, due to the volume of orders, if your order consisted only of Deck Cherry MX Samplers, we will not be printing a separate hard-copy of the invoice to go with your order. If you require a hard-copy for whatever reason, please don't hesitate to PM me or e-mail us: [email protected]. Please state your order number when doing so.

While we do not anticipate at this stage that there will be any delays in dispatch but due to the sheer number of orders, I'd just like to apologise in advance if there are any hiccups. If you suspect that something has gone awry with your order, please contact us! We try to keep track of all our orders but in busy periods, like this one, sometimes things are missed so a reminder is greatly appreciated!

Lastly, still five hours to go! Happy clicking!

    Hmm that Cherry sampler looks attractive, so i can finally get a chance to try them out and choose which one i like.

    Cheapest shipping is $7 though, can you do it any cheaper?

    • AssociatedRoland Chen @ Mech KB on 13/02/2014 - 14:51

      Hey Jorkus, the sampler is kinda tricky, because it's slightly too large to fit in an envelope, let me check with the operational staff.

    • Save Medicare on 13/02/2014 - 14:56

      Would also be interested in getting one if shipping was cheaper, like $4 or something.

      • AssociatedRoland Chen @ Mech KB on 13/02/2014 - 15:13
        +4

        Ok, here's what I can do, I talked my manager into dropping the price of the sampler to $3 for the period of the promotion. He wasn't ecstatic about it but… oh well. :P

        • Jorkus on 13/02/2014 - 15:22

          Thanks Rep, ordering one now.

        • Gnat on 13/02/2014 - 19:13

          What keys are the samplers bound to? Is it possible to use them as macro/media keys?

        • AssociatedRoland Chen @ Mech KB on 13/02/2014 - 19:19

          The samplers are sadly not functional as keys because there is no controller on the sampler board. It is an option which we are exploring, however, it will add $5-10 to the cost (after assembly and QA) so we felt that as a sampler kit, we should just keep it simple for now. You're not the first one to mention this though, we'll definitely be keeping it in mind for the next run of samplers.

        • Jorkus on 13/02/2014 - 20:32
          +2

          I didn't even think of that, although it would be awesome.

          It would definitely be cool to try out the keys, and actually be able to keep using it through that kind of added functionality.

          Mad props to the mechKB rep on this whole thread, very helpful guy.

    Nice concept and niche. just a FYI when I entered your store with Bitdefender on,

    "Bitdefender blocked this page
    This page is blocked by Bitdefender Antimalware filter."

    Any ergonomic shaped keyboards coming?

    Also would recommend using the .au domain extension if you are trading in Aus

      Hmm, I'm not too sure why that would be happening… we opened a forum recently and it's being spammed a lot, that might be why :( I will pass this on to the technical team, thanks for the heads up!

    It's good to see a new business. I must admit that the day Mechanical Keyboards got replaced, I jumped on them, so I admit it feels a little strange that people suddenly want to take technological step back. I guess people who can't use PC's go console, people who can't type go mechanical ….. personally I like a hair fine trigger.

    PC Case Gear has the Blackwidow Ultimate 2013 at $139 (standard price) plus about $14 for delivery. While I wouldn't Neg your post I can't agree that this current sale is a bargain.

    • AssociatedRoland Chen @ Mech KB on 13/02/2014 - 14:55

      Yeah, we were thinking about whether to include the Blackwidow Ultimate or not but eventually they made it onto the list … May be of some use for Sydney-siders who can pick up?

      • Ebany on 13/02/2014 - 15:00

        Very true. Good niche in the market btw.

      • congo on 13/02/2014 - 17:19

  • elitistphoenix on 13/02/2014 - 15:05

    Can you do any better deals on shipping rep? $12 puts it over a bargain for me. I can pick these up for an extra $3 in QLD.

    • AssociatedRoland Chen @ Mech KB on 13/02/2014 - 15:17

      We don't make any money on our shipping, so dropping it lower is difficult but it depends on what you're looking for. PM me?

    G710+ price is still not as the cheap as the Harvey Norman weekend special price of $117 last year (https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/114331); which is the lowest price so far IIRC. DSE have had them for $119 delivered as well.

    Althoug it may seem pricey for those who are stuck on a keyboard for most of the day, its a godsend.

    Which keyboard would you recommend for reducing finger impact and joint pain?

    • AssociatedRoland Chen @ Mech KB on 13/02/2014 - 17:21

      Hey twiz911,

      It's hard to say exactly which keyboard would be the best since these things are highly subjective. Anecdotal feedback is any keyboard with Cherry MX Reds tend to be good (since they feel the lightest of all the Cherry Switches) but your mileage may vary. If you live nearby our storefront or a storefront where there are mechanical keyboards, your best bet is to try one out there.

      If I had to make a recommendation though (and assuming you just wanted something plain), I would recommend the F-104 with Cherry Reds or Cherry Browns.

    • ankor on 13/02/2014 - 21:41

    Hmmm, I was considering the Corsair Vengeance K95 for my first mechanical keyboard, but this is a pretty decent price. I grabbed a switch sampler anyway, cheers.

  • Astro551 on 13/02/2014 - 17:36

    i don't know too much about mechanical keyboards, so how come the 'Double Shot PBT' is so much more cheaper than the others? If it has all switch types as well, or is it just a no named brand?

    • AssociatedRoland Chen @ Mech KB on 13/02/2014 - 17:59

      Hey Astro551,
      Doubleshot PBT is, in fact the highest quality of key cap materials available. PBT keys don't develop discolouration and the lettering is formed via a two piece plastic (hence 'double shot') moulding method, so they won't be worn out.

      The reason why the Vortex is cheaper than the other brands is because it's kind-of an experiment on the part of Vortex to see if customers would accept a keyboard built out of good materials but was otherwise very bland (no backlight, macro keys, USB hubs, etc.) They are one of the few manufactures making double-shot PBT so it's in their interest to popularise it :)

  • congo on 13/02/2014 - 17:38

    Which one do you recommend that has dedicate macro keys?
    Don't really mind which colour switch.
    Thanks

    • ProspectiveDarkness on 13/02/2014 - 17:40

      The Logitech is the only sale item with dedicated macro keys, as per the 'macro keys' section on the listings.

      • congo on 13/02/2014 - 17:43

        Not a fan of logitech however, they tend to break down..

    • AssociatedRoland Chen @ Mech KB on 13/02/2014 - 18:03

      The Blackwidow series, Logitech G710+, Corasir K95 all have dedicated macro keys. If people ask, we generally recommend the Corsair since it has, in our experience, the best record for longevity of the three. However, it is also the most expensive. I know it may not be a popular opinion around these parts but sometimes you do get what you pay for :P

      • congo on 13/02/2014 - 18:14

        Thanks!

    interested in these, but can someone explain to me the difference between the KBT Pure Pro and the iKBC Poker II Backlit. they seem to be the exact same keyboard with just a difference in price.

    • AssociatedRoland Chen @ Mech KB on 13/02/2014 - 19:32
      +1

      Hello Saieash,

      The KBT Pure Pro and the iKBC Poker II have different layouts. You can see the difference by examining closely the pictures on our site. The Pure Pro sacrifices the larger keys to squish in more keys (including the arrow cluster at the bottom right hand corner), where-as the Poker II is a more traditional layout. The Pure Pro can sometimes be harder to type on because people are use to the larger keys (commonly spacebar / shift and backspace) where-as on the Poker II, people miss some of the keys (the arrow cluster is the most common in my experience).

      I hope that helps?

      You should definitely do some research - there is a load of knowledge out there. Here is one link http://www.overclock.net/t/491752/mechanical-keyboard-guide

        I think, I'll go for below with blue keys.

      • AssociatedRoland Chen @ Mech KB on 14/02/2014 - 09:05

        Cherry blue is a good choice unless you are concerned about the clicky noise.

          +1

          I'm buying this for office at my own expense, noise shouldn't issue since even without mechanical keyboards, we have lot of keyboard noise in IT area. :)

        • AssociatedRoland Chen @ Mech KB on 14/02/2014 - 09:26
          +1

          I'll just add a quick note for the benefit of others who might be thinking along the same vein, if you want something quiet, the Cherry MX Brown is the closest to a Blue and is what we would recommend but the general feedback is that Cherry Blues are much more satisfying to type on than browns. A little stiffer, more pronounced tactile feedback and, of course, that 'click'. So unless you're in a quiet environment or otherwise sensitive to noise, we would recommend Blues for typing.

          If you're after one for gaming, then that's a slightly different matter.

  • stupidmansuit on 14/02/2014 - 08:19

    • AssociatedRoland Chen @ Mech KB on 14/02/2014 - 09:07

      The Poker II does not come with a wristrest. Most standard wristrests are too big for it. A wristrest for compact keyboards might be a good idea though… something we have to look into.

        Any plans to get the Corsair K70 in Cherry Blue or Brown? I've been eyeing this one for a while, and i'll prolly grab one once i get my Cherry sampler and decide the keys i want.

          Hello Jorkus,

          Supplies of the K70 in alternate switches are tight and demand is high, We will stock K70 in Brown switches soon but no ETA on the Blue switch…

    You don't happen to have any stock of the Matias Quiet Pro do you? I've been trying to hunt down Australian stock for ages…

      No Matias at this stage :(

      If we can source it, I'll be sure to update it on our homepage :)

    Any chance on a deal on Ducky Zero?

    I am looking for a quality (built to last) mechanical keyboard with backlit keys and no macro.
    Any recommendation?
