Blue switches are $35 - even cheaper.

I certainly hope not. Just wondering if you might be able to embellish on the subject if possible please. Really dodgy gizmo future if that's the case :(
The only way that this device could conceivably transmit logged data would be to open a command prompt and use this to manually send the transmitted data by typing it out.
You'd need something like a PowerShell Invoke-WebRequest to do this.
You'd also notice. Unnecessary fear-mongering on your part.
I think they're already listed here, but worth mentioned that there's blues available for $35, reds for $39:

Are the reds faster?
For actuation? Yes, but that probably won't make you a better at typing. It's a switch designed around gaming.
I'd probably steer clear of cheaper red switches though. If you want the best of both worlds on a budget and you don't like brown switches, get the Kogan blue unit, then get a 60% Gateron Red optical board from AliE, Amazon or eBay via China.
Thanks for the detailed reply
(was meant to be a joke)
@CandyMan: Hah! I'd suggest the product team had the same thought process when they picked the colour, but yeah it's a surprisingly common question.
Typing on a brown switch kogan now - it is extremely loud for a brown switch.
So it's not just me then? I never had a mechanical keyboard before, and I was a bit surprised that this brown keyboard would make so much noise, with everyone saying it is meant to be relatively quiet. I haven nothing to compare it with.
Nope a lot of people recommend buying o-rings for it.
Does yours also seem to have like a vibration or a ringing sound after you hit a key? A deep sound like when you cantilever a metal ruler and strum it. I wonder if its the whole case/deck vibrating.
@nmachine: My space bar does it. I don't mind it, as it actually sounds like I'm hitting metal :) It has a nice, solid ring to it (literally).
Yeah, actually the switches (well Blue anyhow) on these keyboards make a nasty ringing sound.
I didn't notice it at first but once you do its … not great.
Isn't this the normal price?
Yes but no. People don't buy it at $99 but everyone buys it as $39
Does anyone know if the switches on these can be easily removed/swapped out?
I've got a problem with X not always registering a keypress so I'm wondering if I could maybe swap the switch with one I never use like F10.
Unfortunately not :( They look like they are soldered in.
Return for repair, replacement or refund? Keys not registering on a keyboard is a major fault and should be covered by ACL.
Even after the 1 year warranty has expired? (Ordered 28 December 2018)
ACL is not bound by manufacturer or retailer warranties. While I cannot find the durability rating for Outemu switches, mechanical keys are generally rated in the 10's of millions of keystrokes.

I had an issue with my left shift key when it came. Told kogan and they sent a new replacement almost immediately. I had to show them I destroyed the old one though. It was emotionally painful to cut the cable on an almost fully-working keyboard. Such a waste.
solder it back on..
I had a broken stand on mine and they shipped one out next day.. actually surprisingly easy if you give them heaps of detail to begin with..
So now I have a keyboard for work that's flat and annoying for everyone around me!
TKL blue is $35 but brown is still $79. Id prob go the TKL brown for a backup keyboard if it were $35 like the blue.
Just be aware some people saying it's a good keyboard might have the older model.
I bought one 2 years ago and another a few months ago.
Space bar DOA from last sale. They have changed the kb from years ago. It's way more flimsy and plastic , the LEDs looks worse and there's a lot more light bleed from the new model. Overall it's a downgrade and I'm not confident the new one will last as long.
+delivery?
