If you missed the promotion on Kogan for $45 delivered, now it is back again, and even cheaper.

Blue switch only but for $35 delivered, I ordered one without second thought. :)

Was free delivery but seems they've updated the page now.

  • 104 beautiful backlit keys
  • Blue Switches (Gaote switch / Otemu switch)
  • Premium design – aluminium top housing with sanded finish and metal base
  • 3 brightness and 13 breathing rate levels
  • Full anti-ghosting and n-key rollover capabilities

Link to Dick Smith (with shipping fee)

Update 12 April 2:30pm: This deal was originally available with free shipping on both Dick Smith/Kogan sites until 10:30am when delivery fee was added. But as comments have pointed out, free delivery from Kogan is available for Shipster members.

      Use the Kogan $10 new account referral to get it for $25 delivered?

      • Lockster on 12/04/2018 - 09:26

        Pretty sure that will work. Time to make a new email address lol

        I totally forgot about my $10 voucher from https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/362673.

        For $25 I can't pass this one up! Will help trying to get the misses into a bit of PC gaming, she loves RGB but.. doesn't like gaming.

        You can use shipster free trial for delivery.

        • BeefBiryani on 12/04/2018 - 10:34

          That is not the issue. Problem is, the item is marked free shipping on the website but at checkout, they silently add $9 to the total. Deception, I'd say.

        • stumbows on 12/04/2018 - 11:40

          I can't get Shipster to work for this and I think it's because the order isn't over $35 it's right on.

        • downbythecreek on 12/04/2018 - 18:04

          @stumbows:
          Worked for me, $25 delivered using OPs referral code.

    • BeefBiryani on 12/04/2018 - 10:37

      They have removed the free shipping. Can anybody take a screen capture, if they can still see free shipping and share it with us? I might need to dispute the shipping fee.

  • c0balt on 12/04/2018 - 09:27

    Doesn't look as though a wrist rest can be mounted to it?

    • edfoo on 12/04/2018 - 09:54

      Just place a separate wrist rest in front of it.

      • c0balt on 12/04/2018 - 09:59

        I've got a Varidesk (standing desk) that has a cutout where the wrist rest normally goes. There's no problems using a keyboard where the wrist wrest is anchored to the keyboard, but if it's free floating then it will only have contact on the extreme edges and be prone to bending downwards over the cutout.

        I bought it anyway for $25, will be using it with the spare computer.

    Had mine for a month or so from the last deal, was too loud to use at work but enjoying using it at home. The RGB lights are good for astounding small children, if that is a help to anyone.

    • Detective Pikachu on 12/04/2018 - 09:32

      You can buy Rubber O-Ring's to assist with dampening the clack.

      • idonotknowwhy on 12/04/2018 - 10:22
        +2

        Doesn't help with the click though.
        And I measured the decibels with and without o-rings, it's the same

      • [Deactivated] on 12/04/2018 - 10:47
        +2

        O-rings help with reducing sound if you really heavily bottom-out, but they don't help at all with the loud click of a blue switch.

      Out of all the people who looked at my keyboard the one that giggled like a little girl was my mother haha

    • nyax on 13/04/2018 - 20:10

      Blue switches are the loudest around, look for some Cherry MX Brown/Red. They're both relatively quiet for a mechanical keyboard, add some o-rings and you'll lose the bottoming out sound.

  • c0balt on 12/04/2018 - 09:41

    If stock runs out on the DSE website there's the Kogan website linked above. If Kogan stock runs out then it's on both DSE and Kogan eBay for $37.62.

    • hollykryten on 12/04/2018 - 09:45

      The Dick Smith web site and Kogan probably runs by exactly the same backend stock inventory system and ordering system. So if it's sold out at the Dick Smith web site i would say it would be automatically sold out on the Kogan web site too. This is why both web sites tend to have exactly the same prices.

      • c0balt on 12/04/2018 - 09:47

        That's a good point.. all the different links are most likely pointing to the same inventory SKU on the same shelf in the same shared warehouse.

        • hollykryten on 12/04/2018 - 09:48

          Yes. As far as i'm aware Kogan doesn't have a separate warehouse for the Dick Smith web site. All comes from the same warehouse through the same backend ordering system.

    • [Deactivated] on 12/04/2018 - 10:37

      How for $37?

      • c0balt on 12/04/2018 - 10:40

        There were $37.62 but now showing up as $47.30. Same story as the main link - they noticed they were selling a lot and figured they could up the price.

        • [Deactivated] on 12/04/2018 - 11:37

          Still cheap I suppose

    • [Deactivated] on 13/04/2018 - 09:47

      These links still work, main site sold out.

  • 123cheese on 12/04/2018 - 09:43

    Maybe I'm old fashioned, never a fan of RGB keyboards, kind of light pollution to me. Blue switch requires very strong hit every time, but price is rather nice…

    • smartazz104 on 12/04/2018 - 09:54

      Blue switches wouldn’t require a strong hit as they register a key press when they “click” (before bottoming out).

        http://www.keyboardco.com/blog/index.php/2012/12/an-introduc…

        "Blue switches are favoured by typists due to their tactile bump and audible click, but can be less suitable for gaming as the weighting is relatively high – 50 cN – and it is a bit harder to double tap, as the release point is above the actuation point."

        I am currently using red switches, much lighter than blue switches when typing for long time.

    • edfoo on 12/04/2018 - 09:57

      You don't have to have the various bright RGB light flashing. I just set mine on white colour in lowest brightness constantly on for my father to use it.

    • idonotknowwhy on 12/04/2018 - 10:23

      You can disable them completely.

    • smartazz104 on 12/04/2018 - 09:54
      +1

      Quietness is the only thing rubber membranes have over mechanical switches; if you aren’t concerned about key feel, tactility etc. then they are fine.

      • InternetExplorer on 12/04/2018 - 10:07

        Actually I used it for about 2 weeks thinking I would get used to the noise but I was wrong. But when I switched back to membrane, I started to notice how mushy the membrane keyboards are lol

        • nyax on 13/04/2018 - 20:11

      For a mechanical keyboard, it seems a bargain! My mechanical keyboard costs $150.

      But we aware of the blue switches, they make a click sound. Check out YouTube videos.

  • vash12 on 12/04/2018 - 09:52

    Personally Blue switch is too loud even with ring install. Prefer the brown

    • stumbows on 12/04/2018 - 11:25

      Yeah I run browns, very good switch. They are even probably at the top end of my tolerance for volume too.

      • papercutter on 12/04/2018 - 14:05

        Brown switches are the best for me also, they still have a small bump but are much quieter and easier to actuate. I tried a blue switch cheapy after using brown for a while and I couldn't stand them. If anyone is considering getting a mechanical without trying one first, I strongly suggest avoiding the blue switches if you have any doubts about volume.

    blue switch lol might as well add a custom command to scream through your speakers when you type

  • edfoo on 12/04/2018 - 10:00

    I think people who didn't know and then found out Blue switch is too loud for them, should have gone to a computer store to check out the sound of various mechanical keyboards if possible. Blue is the loudest and most tacile, red is the softest but mushiest feel, brown is in the middle. There are a few other colours with slight difference.

      3 brightness and 13 breathing rate levels

      Just refers to the RGB lighting to the keyboard. There are options for the lighting to 'breathe' or pulsate. See here for an example on this exact keyboard.

      Full anti-ghosting and n-key rollover capabilities

    • emwearz on 12/04/2018 - 10:19
      +2

      13 breathing rate levels = I imagine refers to the lights fading in and out, etc. Lighting effects on the RGG.
      Rollover = You can hit many keys at once and the keyboard hardware will detect them, older / cheaper keyboards stop registering after 5, etc.
      Anti ghosting = pretty much the same thing, ghosting is when keystrokes get "lost" along the way because too many keys have been hit.

      Edit: Beaten to it.
