Why are y'all booing me? Am I wrong?

  • No hotswap - even if you don't care about trying other switches out if you want a different feel/sound, if a switch dies you can easily swap it out without replacing the entire board…
  • No wired mode
  • Smaller battery compared to similarly-priced and specced boards (looking at the YK75 off AliExpress)
  • ABS keycaps, meaning they will shine and wear more easily. Also harder to find replacement keycaps for this MX Mini, as Logitech use propiertary stab stems and a non-standard layout. You can really only replace the alphas and not much more. Source

And it's not like Logitech are going to be more reliable than a Chinese board off AliExpress… I've owned and used 2 separate Logitech boards and they both had s**t quality keycaps that faded and shined; they also had double-typing issues that rendered the keyboards completely unusable. If only they were hotswappable…

For future reference OP, buying through Steam directly is almost never the cheapest way to buy games

Even if you want to avoid grey keyshops/marketplaces like Gamivo and Eneba which inherently carry more risk (though I've had zero issues with them over the years), there's still all the authorised/official stores like GMG and Gamebillet which will also typically have better pricing than Steam themselves

I use gg.deals to find the best prices on games; it is the most comprehensive price comp site I have come across yet.

These QC ones are the latest and are practically identical to the QC45s from a few years ago (miniscule design differences and slightly better battery life)

The QC SE is the soft-case variant of the QC45s

And the QC Ultra is Bose's highest-end consumer offering that are quite different from the rest

Bose saw Sony's confusing headphone-naming scheme and said hold my beer

I just spoke to the live chat on JB website and said my "friend" got it for 1240 and asked if there was anything they could do to bring the price down for me.

and don't forget to be polite!

YUNZII Rainbow 84-Key RGB Hotswap Wired Mechanical Keyboard $68 Delivered @ YUNZII Keyboard via Amazon by jerdp

I pre-ordered my q1v1 when it came out so it was pretty steep at like $250 imported.

honestly, if I were to be buying a "daily driver" keyboard kit now, I would probably consider some others:

  • Akko Monsgeek M1 (if I wanted an alu board with VIA/QMK)
  • Cidoo V75 (If I wanted wireless option)
  • Keychron Q1 Pro (If I wanted wireless option with local warranty)

I need the function row, but if 67% layout is suitable for you then you can also consider the Tofu 65 2.0, it's prob going to be a bit more expensive, but that board allows for 3 different mounting options, plenty of customisability. You could also consider the Cub65 (if you want do the whole group buy thing), the board is similar to the QK65.
