Good price for a solid mechanical keyboard with nice lighting. Probably to clear stock for the new splash resistant model.

if I'm not mistaken, it uses Chinese switches (increase margin?). u r buying the brand name, as boards with same OEM switch are cheaper…
"Razer Switches" and not Cherry switches. Too bad these are manufactured by Kailh as Gateron switches are the better clones.
- $15 for shipping.
You can price match at your local EB if you want.
I don't know about EB, JB refuses to pricematch MSY so i'm assuming EB will do everything in their power not to as well
Jb price matched msy for my netgear nighthawk x4s earlier this year, even though it was around $200 cheaper than their price. That being said they did have to "get the manager"
It's store by store. One JB refused to match MSY on a G502 so I called another and they happily obliged :)
No macro keys :(
Yeah, my Ultimate 2013 had them, so it's strange that they decided to remove them.
What type of switch is this? I know they are not Cherry but what wonder what it's equivalent is
They're equivalent to MX Blues. Very tactile and loud.
They're equivalent to MX Blues.
I bet they aren't though given Cherry's rep for delivering quality and Razer's rather less flattering reputation.
JB had one on display and tbh they seem to be easier on the fingers compared to Blues
You'd be hard pressed to tell the difference. Chinese switches are of a very good quality.
Hard pressed … I see what you did there. Bahahaha
I would have though a gaming keyboard would use linear switches.
Hmm was just looking for a replacement for my keyboard. This may do
This isn't rgb?
Nope, green lighting only. Has all the same effects as the Chroma ones though.
What would be an equivalent but quieter mechanical keyboard to the MX blue? My bros bday is coming up and his MX blue is loud.
The 'Stealth' versions use orange switches which are quieter.
Mine are brown switches (DAS Keyboard, quieter model). This was about 6 years ago though and it's still going strong.
MX brown
For christmas 2018 I wish for a kboard with 18 macro keys on the left and 30g switch activation aka the combined best designs of Topre's 30g boards and the Corsair
A Logitech g510 with mech keys then?
Yes, without that Romer-G nonsense please
I must say I like the RSS feed on my g510, learn all kinds of things lol
Might get one to annoy the shit out of my work colleagues. My one at home is loud.
Noooo don't
The éxtrovert in the office just bought a Tesoro mx blue. Combination of loud clicks and his loud laughs will make me snap one day
Buy this one and wage war
Pull a keycap off and destroy a switch. Put keycap back.
Even if they don't honour warranty, any idiot who uses mx blue at work deserves to lose their money
Good price but has to be delivered, which is pricey. Brings it back to 'ok' pricing.
You can pick it up in store?
I would not support this retailer with their dodgy retailing practice.
http://www.msy.com.au/home.php <== Fined again and again.
publish a phone number on MSY’s website that consumers can use to raise consumer guarantee issues with a senior MSY employee
Ha! It'll never be answered!
The reason why they can afford "competitive prices" is when they pay their employees competitive rates like in China.
I dont care how much their employees get paid if their employees good enough they can find their way to get better job. As a customer I only care is it cheaper than others and hows the after sales service
I also consider myself a human being as well as a customer.
@FIVEDOLLAR:
You and chingy213 (further down), I suspect, are being negged by owners of MSY.This is very important information, more so because it's a Razer product, which are (now) known to be low quality. They used to be good in the past but not anymore. So the chances of you needing to return this are relatively high.
Honestly, they haven't been good in almost 10 years. But nobody would believe me back then.
Also on the low end for two decades is evga (at least for anything that's not a graphics card). Continuing to produce and sell items with known engineering faults and not providing any response on their own forums to the issues.. Blech.
Mind you, HP have done that to me too (I had 15 k550dtn's as a reseller.. They were all bad and their tech actually admitted an engineering fault)
Why the negs? :thinking:
Splash resistant…
Gross.
How is having protection against drink spills gross?
Because the splashes that happens where he is, is of much thicker consistency =P
Edited.
That happened to my friend and then one day he lifted his keyboard and found that it had laid eggs :(
VR splash resistant.
MSY coped a 750k fine last month
oooohh why is that?
It is true
MSY Technology ordered to pay penalties of $750,000 for consumer guarantee misrepresentations
25 October 2017
The Federal Court has ordered penalties totalling $750,000 against MSY Technology Pty Ltd, MSY Group Pty Ltd, and M.S.Y. Technology (NSW) Pty Ltd (MSY Technology) for misrepresenting consumers’ rights to remedies for faulty products.MSY Technology operates 28 retail stores across Australia and online, selling computers, computer parts, accessories and software. MSY Technology admitted that it made false or misleading representations on the MSY website, and in oral and email communications to consumers about their rights.
“MSY had misrepresented consumers’ rights to a repair, replacement, or a refund where a product developed a fault. Businesses must ensure their refund and returns policies, and any representations accurately reflect their obligations under consumer law,” ACCC Deputy Chair Delia Rickard said.
“These proceedings and the penalties imposed signal to businesses that the ACCC will not hesitate to take appropriate enforcement action where it identifies misleading representations about consumers’ rights.”
“This is the second time the ACCC has taken action against MSY entities. The court imposed penalties in 2011 for misleading consumer warranty representations,” Ms Rickard said.
The Federal Court also made other orders by consent including injunctions, a comprehensive ACL compliance training program, publication orders, and payment of $50,000 towards the ACCC’s costs.
Following the commencement of proceedings, MSY Technology made admissions and agreed to joint submissions on liability and relief (including penalty) that were filed with the Court.
Background
MSY Technology operates nationally, with 28 retail stores and an online site that sells computers, computer parts, accessories and software to consumers.
In 2011, a number of MSY entities were penalised $203,500 for false and misleading consumer warranty representations, following action by the ACCC.
Consumer guarantees cannot be excluded restricted or otherwise modified by a seller’s terms or conditions. Retailers must ensure their practices do not contravene the ACL when consumers try to return a faulty product or ask for a remedy under the ACL.
To find out more about consumer guarantee rights, visit the ACCC's page on consumer rights & guarantees.

Exact same reason as last time. Misrepresenting consumer warranty rights.
Does everyone who cops a fine get a neg too? Lol
R u a frustrated JB employee?
i had razor keyboard and mouse before, from experience the build quality has been shocking. Sticking with logitech for the foreseeable future
Razor products have been pretty bad for me too… No adjustments can be made on my mouse, have to go through their software. Takes forever to update. I installed office faster than razor installed their "Synapse" or whatever the crap is called.
Don't buy razor…
Well i've been running a Razer Blackwidow Ultimate BF4 edition for a long time now and it's still going strong. But this is an Ultimate 2013 release from when there were real Cherry MX Blue keys on Razer Blackwidow Ultimate keyboards. Now those were the best.
so cheap :o
