If you missed the promotion on Kogan for $45 delivered, now it is back again, and even cheaper.

Blue switch only but for $35 delivered, I ordered one without second thought. :)

Was free delivery but seems they've updated the page now.

  • 104 beautiful backlit keys
  • Blue Switches (Gaote switch / Otemu switch)
  • Premium design – aluminium top housing with sanded finish and metal base
  • 3 brightness and 13 breathing rate levels
  • Full anti-ghosting and n-key rollover capabilities

Link to Dick Smith (with shipping fee)

Update 12 April 2:30pm: This deal was originally available with free shipping on both Dick Smith/Kogan sites until 10:30am when delivery fee was added. But as comments have pointed out, free delivery from Kogan is available for Shipster members.

      Did you just buy it for $25 with free shipping? or before the postage increase

        I made a new account on Shipster and got it for $25 delivered. It was charging $9 shipping otherwise.

        • catcancode on 12/04/2018 - 20:53

          I did the same thing and bought the keyboard for $25 delivered. But I have to create new kogan and shipster accounts with 2nd email address. As I did not click the referral link with my 1st kogan account. I have unsubscribed my 1st shipster account and wait for the $1 test coming back before removing the card detail. Is is a correct move?

        • InternetExplorer on 12/04/2018 - 21:29

          @catcancode:

          No need to signup for new shipster account. Just change the email on your new kogan account to match old shipster account.

        • saurabhgoyal93 on 12/04/2018 - 22:32

          @catcancode: I created a new Shipster account and a new Kogan account as well. My previous accounts on both websites are active as well.

    It was free delivery this morning on both Kogan and Dick Smith, not anymore now.

  • Avacardooo Rayy Mee on 12/04/2018 - 10:33

    Kogan was like " Send me a screenshot of it being purchased as free postage, as we have never had it for free postage for a long time"

    like cmon….

  • c0balt on 12/04/2018 - 10:37

    They increased the price on DSE/Kogan eBay too from $37.62 to $47.30!

    Sucks for those who missed out, there's no shortages of no name brand RGB mechanical keyboard around the $50 mark from Amazon/eBay/aliexpress.

  • 3252900sl on 12/04/2018 - 10:40

    If the delivery cost is only $9 as mentioned above, then you can still get it for $25 if you sign up to Shipster;

    1. Create a new Kogan account via the referral link on this page
    2. Create a new Shipster account with the same email (free trial)
    3. Pay only $25 when you use your $10 credit

    Link to the product on Kogan

    • hollykryten on 12/04/2018 - 10:47

      It was showing free delivery about an hour ago. Kogan has done it again.

    • TechNerd on 12/04/2018 - 11:17

    I got it like 2 weeks ago for $35 Delivered. The Keyboard is much louder than my "Gaming" membrane keyboard. But for the price, it has a decent build quality. The USB cable is braided and the keyboard is very sturdy.

    Someone made a youtube video if you want to checkout the RGB lighting effects:

  • A Banana4scale on 12/04/2018 - 11:17

    would this keyboard have any advantages over my g19? I like the small screen, but it wouldn't be the end of the world without it.

  • Wilburre on 12/04/2018 - 11:37

    Nice deal op, just got one for $25 delivered - little bit of work - new shipster, kogan accounts from a spare email but a good price. Keen to try mechanical keyboard for the first time.

    Looks very similar to this keyboard:
    http://www.acgam.com/mechanical-gaming-keyboard/ag-109r

    Font and format is the same, however it's missing a few screws and the original keyboard is allegedly programmable.

    Hope this helps anyone who purchased.

  • haitim01 on 12/04/2018 - 11:53

    So how do you apply the free shipster "free shipping"?

    Ive got the $10 voucher but cannot figure out how to get free shipping. I just signed up to a free shipster trial.

    The email from Shipster says, "Just use your email address at checkout and you’re all set."…… i don't understand that at all, or cant see where in Kogan's Checkout they give you an option to input that as a discount code??? AM i missing something?

    • Wilburre on 12/04/2018 - 12:05
      +2

      needs to be same email adress - it picks it up automatically based on email address. ie. signup for shipster eg. [email protected] then signup for a new kogan acc with referral link also with [email protected] - then it will auto apply shipster and $10 creidt

      • sky blu on 12/04/2018 - 12:12

        hey why did you use my email address in the example.

  • chaute on 12/04/2018 - 12:01
    +4

    1) Make a fake new Kogan referral account from your existing real Kogan account (giving you $10 credit on both sides)
    2) Make sure you can see $10 is in your new fake account before you make a fake Shipster account using the same email that you used for the fake account
    3) Give it about 5-10 mins
    4) Go and checkout on Kogan for the $25 dollar keyboard, when you use the email you signed up for with Shipster it will automatically make shipping free
    5) Download your dodgy $35 invoice and double check your bank statement only shows $25
    6) Keep repeating this to stock up your keyboard inventory and load up Kogan dollars to your genuine Kogan account

    Hope this helps!

  • Munt3d on 12/04/2018 - 14:33

    So, from kogan website, it is $35 and using the $10 referal code it came to $25. Processed the payment and was charged $34 total. Looked into it more and found that deleivery to Perth Wa is not free and was charged $9……. Oh well, saved a dollar atleast.

    • davidl820 on 12/04/2018 - 14:40

      Have a look in earlier comments where they mentioned Shipster, l haven't used this before but seems many people have got free delivery using it.

    • solpiry on 12/04/2018 - 15:31

      I have a same problem. Referral is okay but with Shipster's id doesn't make it free shipping… What's going on.. Is it because wa?

        +1

        As long as you have registered for Kogan and Shipster using the same email address, it should auto apply on Kogan checkout (last page before submitting?). If still not working, prob just because WA isn't part of Shipster or something.

        • solpiry on 12/04/2018 - 15:50

          Thanksdheywood, didn't know the process have to go to the end.. It shows free shipping to the end. :)

  • inusure on 12/04/2018 - 15:32

    Silly question, which switch is the quietest and softest?
    Is there a switch that does not make much noise when you type?

    Thank you

    • dheywood on 12/04/2018 - 15:38

      From memory, the red switches are the quietest. Maybe the blacks are similar/same?

      • inusure on 12/04/2018 - 15:45

        thanks mate

    • davidl820 on 12/04/2018 - 15:42

      Red and Brown. But if you're going to use in office they are't going to be as quite anyhow..

      • inusure on 12/04/2018 - 15:44

        Actually, i use them at home and dont want to wake my wife up.
        So Red and Brown are the quietest. will go for them.

      • decr on 12/04/2018 - 17:42

        If someone is going to complain about the noise tell them to go whinge to whoever implemented open plan offices at work, failing that there's always the RSI card to be played if forced to use some stock standard $4 piece of crap of a keyboard all day. I haven't had to go that far but in all seriousness I've worked at places where this might have been an issue. At my current work not much so, but I still bought a <$69 (OzB deal of course) mech keyboard for work, going to claim it on tax, and now there are 3 people with mech keyboards in our isle.

        Got to stop this or make a business out of it…

  • dheywood on 12/04/2018 - 15:38

    Bought one also for $25 inc shipping using Shipster trial. Don't really need it, but for $25 a spare would be handy.

  • picklewizard on 12/04/2018 - 16:20

    Is there a way to remove that F__ING UGLY Kogan logo?

    If they didn't brand their shit I'd buy more of it… does anybody else also feel this way?

    • itevenhasawatermark on 12/04/2018 - 16:24

      Yep, was just about to ask if anyone knows how I would go about stripping off this logo?

    • idonotknowwhy on 12/04/2018 - 16:30

      I don't understand the hate. My phone says "Sony" up the top, my TV says "Panasonic" at the bottom, microwave says "Samsung" on the door. Keyboards at work say "Dell", "Hp", "Lenovo". Why can't this Kogan keyboard have a "Kogan" logo on it?

      • picklewizard on 12/04/2018 - 16:35

        Because it's so massively prominent and a very ugly logo!

        In any case I don't like logos on anything; I'm all for minimalism :)

        It might also come across a bit materialistic, but the shitteir the brand, the less likely I am to want their logo on the product! You'd probably happily wear a Rip Curl t-shirt, but would you wear the same shirt with K-Mart branding?

        • idonotknowwhy on 12/04/2018 - 16:40

          It might also come across a bit materialistic, but the shitteir the brand, the less likely I am to want their logo on the product!

          Makes sense, this probably explains all the hate.

          I don't mind the Kogan logo, seems pretty minimal to me compared with my steelseries logo on my other keyboard.

          FWIW, I buy most of my clothes from China, and they're mostly cheapish brands like baleno with no prominent logo lol.

        • picklewizard on 12/04/2018 - 16:51

          @idonotknowwhy:

          Which is exactly what I want from my keyboard. Cheap and unbranded!

          @idonotknowwhy:

          steelseries logo on my other keyboard

          Which one and how are you liking the keyboard? I recently got an Apex M400… I think. I don't find the logo intrusive at all, but if it were Krogan in bright colours standing out it might be an issue. Anyway, it has actually increased my typing speed/accuracy quite a bit compared to bog standard keyboards which was surprising. At first I thought no wrist support… but it actually works fine and really happy with it, can't imagine going back to the "normal" ones for full-time office work.

        • idonotknowwhy on 13/04/2018 - 13:31

          @decr:

          Which one and how are you liking the keyboard?

          The 7G (PS/2 interface, no RGB, MX Black switches)

          I'm enjoying it a lot for gaming. It's built like a tank, and feels like I could use it as a blunt weapon without damaging it lol. I generally prefer blue or brown switches for typing though.

          Your M400 looks pretty indestructible as well, and the design looks similar to my G7 (but with the backlight and without the removable wrist rest)

          What are the QX1 switches like (using Cherry-MX as an analogy)?

        • decr on 13/04/2018 - 14:40

          @idonotknowwhy: No idea in comparison, sorry. This is my first one and haven't used any other mech keyboards.

  • itevenhasawatermark on 12/04/2018 - 16:26

    The replacement keycaps I bought for this costs twice the keyboard haha

  • Kambo_Rambo on 12/04/2018 - 16:36

    Note the switches are not Cherry MX as you would find in more common mech kbs. Though this seems to be some sort of clone so YMMV

    • idonotknowwhy on 12/04/2018 - 16:53

      However, they feel exactly the same as the Cherry MX Blue kb I've used. This one is lighter though.

    • dheywood on 12/04/2018 - 17:57

      A lot of popular keyboard brands don't even use Cherry MX switches. Logitech are using their own design now and it isn't uncommon for these Cherry MX clones to be used in keyboards. Pretty sure Razer use clones. Mostly with positive reviews.
      I've got a Kingston HyperX mech keyboard with Cherry MX Red switches that I got from a recent-ish OZB deal to replace my 6+ year old faulty Blackwidow Ultimate. I pike it, simple design and quieter switches so it keeps the wife happy not hearing me tap away at keyboard :)

    • itevenhasawatermark on 12/04/2018 - 19:08

      Not true, plenty of different switches out there. Also, just because they're clones doesn't mean they're bad. I've used Gaterons, Otemus and my current keyboard is Cherry and honestly, Gateron is better imo. That being said, the difference is minimal.

        Unless I'm mistaken, the Kogan one doesn't have macro keys or software to control the RGB lighting.

        Also the cord is in a different place, there's more indicator lights above the numpad, the keys on that one have a thicker and more consistent mask under the key to reflect the lighting and the bezel where the top plate meets the chassis looks different too.

        • Wystri Warrick on 12/04/2018 - 17:10

    Mine arrived this morning, slightly louder my my Tt with Cherry blues, but nothing some 8 rings won't fix, the loudness seems to come from them bottoming out.

    Also, read your instructions people, the modes to enable single keys to be lit up, etc (what its calls pro gamer mode), is great.

    Cheers again to the OP.
