Seems like a good deal to me (lowest ever price according to Camel), though Green switches (Tactile & Clicky)
Razer green mechanical switches
Transparent switch housing
Doubleshot ABS keycaps
Aluminium construction keyboard
Multi-function roller wheel and media key
CamelCamelCamel.
Yeah, but people want the brand names. Companies will charge a high price and people will buy, so they'll keep the same price tag.
Like what?
There are bunch other options out there cough cough custom mechs cough cough that have heaps better build quality than the overpriced mainstream gAmErY brand boards, while also being much much better value
Far as I can tell, only the Keychron is wireless, and the Keychron does not have distinct media keys (which is what I prefer) - media keys are shared on the function keys.
As far as I can see they only have Bluetooth wireless which is not ideal for use with gaming. Much nicer and better latency with wireless dongle
You're completely missing the mark here; people aren't paying extra for the rainbow puke gamer aesthetic, they're paying for the cutting-edge wireless technology that none of the smaller players offer
Keychron at best achieves 22ms latency with Bluetooth, while the Blackwidow V3 Pro comes in at 0.9ms latency. You can absolutely feel the difference, I've done blind tests (literally taped over the Bluetooth symbol and spam clicked the toggle button, then played for a bit before writing down my guess and confirming) and it's very noticeable, felt like a bigger difference than going from 60hz to 144hz
Obviously a top-tier wired board is going to be better value, but it's still going to be a wired board won't it?
Would love some recommendations, I'm looking for a full sized wireless mechanical keyboard with media keys.
I just bought a Logitech G915 from Amazon for 279 :)
It's "pre-order" for now as they're awaiting stock so I haven't posted the deal.
Thanks mate, I got JB to price match Amazon and picked it up in-store.
Yeah I looked at them too, but I've got a razer mouse and can use the same dongle.
I don't actually NEED a new kb but I don't like having to use 2x dongles :)
Damn… just found out each device needs it's own dongle with Razer… Might cancel the order
i like wired …..no dongle …..no bluetooth …always gets gets priority on the chipset ….and nothing to charge ……
If I was using a desk I'd do the same..
But I use my kb on the desk/ sim rig/ lounge etc and the cables get in the way of the dogs running around
Says $231.99 for me?
Have to use code APBF25 and use Afterpay at checkout
Much better value keyboards out there than these Razer, Corsair and Logitech boards
