I think the better question might be if it is an under powered version in the laptop; they really should properly distinguish this difference. The under powered versions will save on battery, but you'll lose out on performance, at least potentially.
I was on the lookout for a cheapish keyboard and saw this. No idea if it's good but for the price I took the plunge.
Delivery to me (western Sydney) was $6.99, there is also a .5% surcharge on VISA and Mastercard (I don't think they offer other methods of payment).
Some details copied from site:
This is surely not hotswappable?
unless you mean "hot" as in a soldering iron, I would say no :P
:'(
Yeah outemus aren't I believe. My cheapo Kogan one with browns aren't hot swappable and often have to get cleaned (WASD because unreliable)
Better quality than the Kmart $39 one for sure but not sure how they compare to the kogan ones
kmart and kogan ones would be about the same for quality (kogan currently has free shipping on a lot of their products, including keyboards if anyone was after one)
Plus they are really cheap $21-24 and $14 for the tkl non-full RGB flavour.
Oh well.

Good luck finding some ALDI special buys in stock at your local store, it's hit and miss.
Anyone who wants a different brown-switched, RGB mechanical keyboard (and is happy with TKL / ten key-less), I cannot rate this other keyboard highly enough. Low profile is much better for gaming than full height, and with a foam wrist rest it is quite ergonomic. I picked it up on one of the many sales this time last year and it's worked for 12 months

This Phantom L looks interesting to me. It says 'hot swappable' in the specifications. Just confirming, does that mean I can swap those Outemu Brown Mechanical Switches to different ones when I want to?
From what I know you can only swap Outemu Low profile keys with other low profile keys, and possibly Outemu branded low profile ones. I don't have it with me so I can't check.
But I can confirm that it includes a key pulling tool and some spare brown low profile mechanisms in case anything stops working correctly.
will go nicely with the monitor
![[NSW, VIC, ACT, QLD] Gaming Laptop R5 5600H, 16GB/512GB, 3050 Ti $1299 (OOS), Keyboard $39.99, Mouse $19.99, Desk $199 @ ALDI](https://files.ozbargain.com.au/n/97/688197.jpg?h=f25df234)
Apologies if I’ve missed something here but when did a 3050Ti become a crap card? Don’t get me wrong it should ideally be a 3060 for this price, but It’s still a reasonable 1080p product is it not? RDNA 2 iGPU is fantastic for what it is but aren’t we exaggerating it’s worth and downplaying the 3050?
