This is a great keyboard, I bought the red-LED-only version last year when MWave had it at ~$98 + shipping. Very nice feel and weight, and not too loud. I lashed out and purchased a set of o-rings off eBay for $1.68 which helped to dampen the sound marginally more.
I've got the red one myself, with the blue switches. I've been very happy with mine, although I paid about $200 for it. A bit disappointing that the software only works with the RGB version though, as I'd like to turn down the brightness even more. I fitted the o-rings about a week ago, but I prefer the feel without them.
Got one in my hands at Bankstown just put it back already own a k95 rgb platinum I’ll leave it for a fellow member
Now thats a black Friday deal. Thanks OP, bought and ready to be collected.
I bought the Corsair k95 RGB Platnium (Brown) two weeks ago at JB Hi-Fi for $260 (price-matched); At the time, I was tossing up between this and that, but since there was only a $30 difference between them then, I went with the k95. Now, when I saw this awesome deal, I went back and told them I was having software issues with the k95 and wanted to exchange it with this one (got $130 back on a giftcard).
Now that I have used both, I can say for certain that the k95 is a little bit better overall. It is heavier (much more metal used in the construction), has 6 macro keys, and a much better/larger wrist-rest. However, for $129, the Hyperx is much better value.
Kingston really seem to nail the no frills yet well thought out quality gaming gear.
I need to replace my G710+, got a few dodgy keys and broken key caps plus i feel like a change.
Anyone got experience of both and how the HyperX compares, even though my G710+ has brown switches.Or do the OzBargain way and buy first worry later ;-)

Mate, you ask that like the answer really matters. :-D
Bought one ;-)
If i don't like it it will end up in the kids room, they like flashy lights on things !What i did notice was there was 2 different box styles, one i grabbed was in a black box the others were in red and white box, store assistant didn't know if there was any difference in actual keyboard or was only a change in box design.
That's the OB spirit!
I noticed the same thing and did a bit of a double take. In the end all the details were the same but I still grabbed the black box. 😂
Currently using this keyboard, it's a great keyboard and feels durable due to its weight. However, the keycaps wear and tear easily.
Edit
Reply was supposed to be a post.
I went and bought this last night. I'm happy! First impressions.
- solid build - has a good feel to it, the extra weight is welcome as it holds it in place better than a regular ole standard keyboard.
- keys have a nice feel to them. First cherry KB for me but came from the "Aldi" blues and I must say I prefer the feel of the clicky blues, but the slightly quieter sound of the reds. I didn't mind the blues at all but for every day use and peace in the home, the reds win.
- colours of the RGB and ease of changing things is easy
- overall ergonomics and profile are slightlyower in profile and easier on the wrists
Negs - probably just the requirement of 2 usb slots. Yet to Google around and workout why it requires but my guess is to power the on-board chip and memory for the presents.
The Aldi KB from the recent specials is going back.
Cheers OP, great timing to complement my new PC build.
Awesome thanks, purchased one for click and collect and received text confirmation for pickup 5mins after!
