Not ATL, but decent price for the G915 Lightspeed in GL Tactile (full sized).
TKL Tactile version is $229
TKL Clicky is $239
Full size clicky is $269 and full-size linear is $289, which aren't really fantastic deals tbh.
Surcharges: 1.2% Card & PayPal, 2% AmEx.
Free shipping excludes WA, NT & remote areas.
Been watching this for a while but knowing my luck I’ll buy this and a USB-C version will come out.
USB C would be good.
I have this keyboard and bought a magnetic charging cable which works really well for it.
Keyboard prices are a complete ripoff across the entire industry.
The thing is, there are literally keyboard price points for everyone. Starting at a few dollars up to hundreds.
I'm not sure what makes some of these keyboards so expensive - but after trying a lot, the one I liked best was over $300. I figured that I use it 8-12 hours a day (I work from my home office) it's worthwhile buying what I'm most comfortable with
I've used every price bracket from sub-$20 (basic HP/Dell office keyboards) to the $350+ (Corsair K100, Keychron Q6, GMMK Pro).
I found the best/most comfortable for me is the Keychron Q1 and Q6. The gasket mounted structure with dampening foam makes them so much quieter when bottoming out, and the flex from the gaskets also makes it a lot easier on the fingers when typing for long periods
I'm not entirely convinced of these Logitech boards costing $250 for example; they have ABS plastic keycaps. But what they do have over the more niche brands is software. Their software may be bloated, but the level of programmability and the ease of it is unmatched. VIA for example doesn't even come close. Asus' Armory Crate is a crud piece of software but when it works, customising the OLED screen on the Azoth is a lot easier than what it would be in VIA.
On my Logitech G910 for example, I had 3 profiles, each with 9 programmed Macros on the G keys on the board. Each profile was mapped to specific use cases like work, photo editing etc.
No it's just the big boys with their ludicrous pricing. The smaller brands offer far better value and quality. Like keychron.
They Keychron equivalent to this woukd be roughly the K series. They're solid keebs for the money. Scorptec is doing the Q6 for $249 which is leagues ahead of this unless you need wireless
yeah and for the TKL equivalent would be the K1, and its the fraction of the price for far better quality lol. If you want to get fancy with it you could get the k1 pro for $200 and then it's not even close. The G915 is crazy overpriced for the quality.
I don't think you can directly compare these with keychron which uses standard switches. This uses smaller low profile switches with shorter travel. Keychron K1 is low profile but has bad Bluetooth lag.
@jatbinks: There's the Nuphy Air96 with LP switches. It's not quite full size being 1800 layout but can use both 2.4G and BT. It's $199 shipped from Centrecom.

Same price on amazon, free delivery aus wide, no credit card fees
Not a bad price either way, lowest price ever seems to be $219 and averages around ~$270
I paid $269 for the fullsize GL tactile for one last year, has a pretty decent battery life (have backlight on 25%), excellent build quality and overall is enjoyable to type on.
Only annoyance I have is the special characters don't light up which sort of bummer for a "$399" keyboard
