    Has anyone got any experience with these?

      I bought one, ended up in cupboard then gave to my sister…. decent quality I think its just im not a fan of the blacks… love some more clicky feed back.

      But cant complain for the price, definitely better than a normal keyboard.

      Key caps were smaller than I like them if I remember correctly, also I am a huge fan of backlit keyboard and cant go back anymore.

      Take this with a grain of salt because I spent ~$150 on a G710+ and didnt like that either!

      Believe it or not, I am in love with my Kogan $60 one. perfect size keys, perfect feedback, good backlighting.

        I'm a fan of Reds and Blacks, but don't see why I should upgrade from my current keyboard ("mech feeling membrane switches")

        Friend of mine has a Steelseries 6GV2, he loves it. It's built like a tank, he threw it on the floor and slammed it a couple times in a fit of rage when he crashed his plane in FSX, still works.

      Blacks are for gaming, and some people may find it fatiguing to type on. For serious typists I'd roll with switches that provide a tactile feedback.

    i actually have this keyboard and I actually love it. I think mine has the blue switches, has a nice feel and good layout.

    Like the fact that it has no extra keys (macros or such) as it alters the layout and portions of everything. Had the G710+ and hated it and went back to this, if it also had back lit keys would be perfect.

      Thanks for your input!

      I don't use macros either, I have 2 binded to my mouse buttons for actions in games (opening menus fast, etc) but usually I just bind my numpad.

      Also hate keyboards that commit mortal sins by doing things like shortening the backspace key and moving shit around.

      • payton on 22/05/2015 - 23:58

        Great price, its a shame the board has an overseas layout. Cant be stuffed re-adjusting my mind to niche layouts

  • rdx on 22/05/2015 - 23:58

    Any idea at all when the deal ends?

    Also whats the original price? Surely it wasn't $99.
    Their "don't pay" prices are usually made up.

      Online Only. Ends 22/05/2015 or While Stock Lasts

      • rdx on 23/05/2015 - 00:02

        Thanks! OP could you update the post?

    • exit on 27/05/2015 - 22:46

      I think mwave originally sold these for $99 then it dropped $80 then slowly dropped down since then. The keyboard is a rebranded i-rocks KR6251

    Wiki entry:

    Seems like a good buy. I am quite happy with the Kogan TKL MX Brown which I got for $50-60 a while back.

  • flumpf on 23/05/2015 - 00:04

    Hopefully this works better than their crappy USB hubs which are just dead out of the box.

    It's gone back up to $69.90. Too late! :(

  • Checkboy on 23/05/2015 - 00:21

    As said, it's gone back to normal price.

    I would have got it if it wasn't an ISO layout keyboard, and didn't have that terribly ugly (imo) USB port on the face of keyboard. I haven't played much on a Black switch keyboard, so that would have been cool. A quick and easy paint job of some sort would get rid of that logo as well :)

  • legelas on 23/05/2015 - 00:26

    OMG MWAVE branded

  • Hirolol on 23/05/2015 - 12:01

    Damn
    I would have bought one of these.
    Missed out

  • exit on 27/05/2015 - 22:47

    MWAVE don't actually make these keyboards. This is a rebranded i-rocks KR6251 keyboard.
