Previous cheapest on OzB was $89, currently next cheapest I could find was $142 (staticice).

Unfortunately for me the "macro pad" keyboard is prone to disconnecting from the TKL keyboard at random times due to little movements but it can be attached via USB also but this way you cannot use thew wristest. Ignoring that IMO it's a very solid gaming keyboard with volume/brightness wheels, small footprint, chunky braided cable and it's also very solid feeling - it's heavy due to magnets to attach the macropad + wristrest. I don't like how the macropad cable isn't braided.

The software for the macropad is good and 100 seperate macros (+regular keypad keys as well) can be programmed onto it including basic mouse input.

For some reason it isn't listed on my local MSY site which is why I supplied the PDF link

    …and they have jacked up prices for ssd. This is due to a fact that Toshiba, the second-largest NAND manufacturer, is financially in bad shape (which is entirely their faults) and Micron's 3D NAND has not matured yet.(MX300 is inferior to 850 Evo in every aspect)

      and they have jacked up prices for ssd. This is due to a fact that Toshiba, the second-largest NAND manufacturer, is financially in bad shape

      where did you even get this information from? ssd prices are up due to a NAND shortage from the high demand. all ssd, regardless of brand are up in price - http://www.tomshardware.com/news/ssd-hdd-shortage-nand-marke…

      MX300 is inferior to 850 Evo in every aspect

      mx300 is a better gb/$ drive and sure it MAY BE 'inferior' if you base it on the fact that the stats on the 850 evo are marginally better than the mx300 but it's not something noticeable in real world usage. if you were that concerned with performance, you wouldn't be looking at a mx300 or 850 evo in the first place anyway.

        yeah …. I have Mx300 and Evo 850 …..bangs per buck MX300 850 is better VALUE as I can't notice real life diffrences on X170 chipset and 6th gen I5. Before the cells in either are worn out I will have upgraded to new technology, and probably 2TB drives.

        I think some people read too much stuff that supports their views instead of researching information that goes against their views and don't check facts …. as trump would say, false news, alternative facts, and Turnbull with clean coal, etc.

        and house prices will crash and all of us who didn't buy houses 5 years ago will be rich as those that did and will sell up at a great loss ….etc,etc

        I'm loving my MX300 750GB for $115 more than my evo 850 1TB for $430.

        • [Deactivated] on 14/02/2017 - 22:29

          Many users say that 850 Evo is better value for money even when EVO is significantly more expensive than MX300 since there is a huge performance gap between 850 EVO and MX300.

          Plus, 5 yrs warranty vs 3 yrs warranty. However, if you are satisfied with your MX300 then good on you mate, I am happy for you.

        Toshiba is nearly bankrupt and the second-largest NAND manufacturer is experiencing a shortage of fund and that's one of many reasons why the market is experiencing a NAND shortage as Samsung is running their plants at full capacity and Toshiba cannot keep up with the market demand.

        Planar NAND to 3D NAND transition of Micron isn't smooth either. MX300's chips are also 3D TLC and they are supposed to be good as EVO 850 and MX300 is clearly inferior to EVO 850.

        You MAY claim you would hardly notice a difference in real life (in fact, you could make a similar claim against Micron with Kingston and Toshiba/OCZ), but it is a fact MX300 is BEATEN by 850 in many reviews and its inferiority is CONFIRMED by many USER REPORTS which shows on average 40% difference in performance. It is not a surprise that Micron is trying to undercut EVO 850 with MX300 on prce and it basically shows their 3D NAND isn't matured yet.

        • a123dot on 15/02/2017 - 00:06

          Toshiba is nearly bankrupt

          err yeah, toshiba is bankrupt…what's your point? that source doesn't back up the rest of what you claimed. they've already begun construction of a new fab plant despite their financial position. seems like they're still going full steam ahead in producing NAND

          but it is a fact MX300 is BEATEN by 850

          i never disputed that mx300 is beaten by 850 evo based on benchmarks. but that's all that is, benchmarks. those benchmark numbers don't quantify to a significant difference in real world usage. but sure, if you can tell apart the huge performance gap (your words) difference between a mx300 and 850 evo in terms of copying and transferring files, the load times of windows, chrome, word, games etc then as you said to another poster: good on you mate, I am happy for you. for the rest of us mere mortals, the mx300 seems pretty good value in terms of bang for buck

        • [Deactivated] on 15/02/2017 - 01:35

          @a123dot: Are you kidding? Even in your article, it states that Toshiba is seeking investors for their chip business because they are already running out of money. Sure, they may have begun the scheduled construction to stay relevant in the industry, but at the same time, they are now considering total sell off of chip business or at least some part of it. You couldn't be serious if you believe Toshiba's financial woes haven't impacted their production when they are a) looking investors for the chip business b) they are looking for buyers of their chip business.

          i never disputed that mx300 is beaten by 850 evo based on benchmarks. but that's all that is, benchmarks.

          So, MX300 is inferior as I said earlier. I even included REAL USER REPORTS which is a COLLECTIVE data of THOUSANDS of users. Based on their experience, Evo was 40% faster than MX300 on average and gives users 19% more value. MX300 is inferior to Evo and You cannot dispute that with your own anecdotal evidence when basically experiences of thousands are against you.

          Your reasoning behind of claiming mx300 offers good value for money is even more bizarre. It is good enough for "copying and transferring files, the load times of windows, chrome, word, games"? Good on you, mate. Then again why didn't you buy whatever the cheapest on the market?

          Millions of Kingstone, Sandisk, Toshiba users also claim that they've got a good bang for a buck because they couldn't tell a difference in things like "copying and transferring files, the load times of windows, chrome, word, games", even though THOUSANDS of users report there is a huge gap of performance. By your logic, mx300 doesn't seem like offering a good value for money, mate.

          after this post, i'm not going to bother replying to any of your future posts regarding this matter because after all your talk you seem to have not come up with any kind of credible source that backs up your claim of

          …and they have jacked up prices for ssd. This is due to a fact that Toshiba, the second-largest NAND manufacturer, is financially in bad shape

          none of the sources you've posted don't even come close to backing up your original statement. please show us where, anywhere it shows a correlation or link that jacked up ssd prices are due to toshiba being financially in bad shape. talk about a blanket statement with no evidence

          You couldn't be serious if you believe Toshiba's financial woes haven't impacted their production

          how about you get serious about posting actual evidence to your statements along with your original one. or are you the one sprouting anecdotal evidence? pot kettle black?

          and then you go on and on about how micron is so clearly inferior than samsung

          MX300 is inferior to 850 Evo in every aspect
          MX300 is clearly inferior to EVO 850
          So, MX300 is inferior as I said earlier

          but you posted this, grouping micron and samsung together as decent ssd? ok…

          Your reasoning behind of claiming mx300 offers good value for money is even more bizarre.

          how is it bizarre when you said…

          Millions of Kingstone, Sandisk, Toshiba users also claim that they've got a good bang for a buck because they couldn't tell a difference

          so i'm guessing millions of people + me are bizarre compared to

          THOUSANDS of users report there is a huge gap of performance

          so the millions of people who believe they bought a product that's seen as being good value don't outweigh the so obvious and glaring performance difference (as stated by you a number of times) of another product seen by thousands of people + yourself. i'm guessing you see thousands as more than millions? ok…

          MX300 is inferior to Evo and You cannot dispute that with your own anecdotal evidence when basically experiences of thousands are against you

          but according to you, it's not just me…

          Millions of Kingstone, Sandisk, Toshiba users also claim that they've got a good bang for a buck because they couldn't tell a difference

          so it's me + millions of others, as stated by you. even your own statements are against you

          and i state again that i never disputed the fact that through the benchmark results the 850 evo is better than the mx300. i also stated that the difference between these two are negligible in real world usage (as proven by you pointing out the millions of people who share this notion) which makes the mx300 better value at the moment. but you seem to have this weird fixation on benchmark results being the be all and end all

          by your logic, your whole argument collapsed on itself due to, well…you.

          it was the toshiba nuclear power division westinghouse that has taken a financial hit aka fukushima.

          nand manufacturers are doing fine , their only challenge is getting people to buy bigger drives rather than the smaller ones just to boot OS. or upgrade their existing ssd as their might be negligible performed gains if it's just a sata interface.

          value is different to performance ….. most of my customers when investing in ICT look for " fit for purpose" so it performs to a standard they find acceptable at a price point.

          an i7 is nicer than an i5 and outperforms the i5 but also costs more.

    Can someone in the know with mechanical keyboards tell me if this is worth getting? I'm in the market for a mechanical keyboard but don't want to spend hundreds.

    Is it better than the Gamdias keyboard that was on sale a couple of weeks ago?
    https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/290359

    Edit: Wait, is this normal RRP?

    • JoseEduardoRP on 15/02/2017 - 05:02

      The Gamdias one uses Kailh switches and I would stay away from those. Not nearly enough QC to make them worth it. Cherry switches miles better.

      I would rush out to get this keyboard if I was in Australia at the moment. Detachable NumPad to make it TenKeyless with the option of attaching it as a Macro pad? With Cherry MX switches it's the perfect deal. You can get a mechanical keyboard for around 50-60 bucks on aliexpress with decent switches and build quality, but this one is so much better, in terms of quality control AND local stock. It is a no-brainer.

  • Rada Import on 15/02/2017 - 08:53

    Can anyone please suggest me mechanical keyboard with cherry Blue (typing purpose) which is also wireless?
    I understand not many mechanical keyboard are wireless for reason of response time but I don't play games anyway

  • YellowKnight on 15/02/2017 - 17:29

    No one commenting. Is this not a good deal/keyboard?
