Was looking for a wireless mechanic keyboard and not many options out there. Decided to give the Asus one a go, for sale at Scorptec for $139 + $14 delivery to Sydney and 1% CC fee.

A few others that can be found:

• Thermaltake W1 (MX Red is discontinued, and MX Blue is on sale for $99 at various places)
• Razer Pro Type Ultra Wireless (Razor yellow, for $199)
• Keychron K10 Pro Wireless (Brown switch for $159)
  (sorry, I should also add full size to the reference).

Surcharges: 0% Afterpay & ZipMoney, 1% card & PayPal payments.

  Wtf? Most mechanical keyboards on the market are wireless.

  Where are you looking?

      I stand by my comment.

      Most mechanical keyboards out there are wireless.

        Probably we live in different country, or even different worlds.

        There is absolutely NO way this is true.

          @Dienk: There are a few wireless TKL, but definite not "most" TKL (or full size) mechanical keyboards.

          Not idea why OP made such comment.

            @Flutterby: You didn’t state a size originally.

            You added the reference to full size in only recently.

            Also, 2/3rds of the mechanical keyboard on Scorptec’s website is wireless.

              @tempestswitch: Apologise for not stating full size in the first very post.

              Examples given in OP are all full size boards.

              Though, TKL, there are more (half?), definitely not most. For example lower end of the market Corsair k70/65, Logitech g413, razor Black widowTKL to name a few.

              Otherwise, taking into the context of full size + tkl is still a 50/50 split between wired and wireless

              Key reason being, wireless is less responsive as most are implemented via BT. Mechanical keyboard typically aimed at the gaming market demand minimal lag. A few proprietary ones are decent (lightspeed) or other utilising 2.4ghz transmitters.

                @Flutterby: But mechanical keyboards aren't typically aimed at gaming market… In the more recent years mechanical keyboards are aimed for everyone. Most manufacturers push acoustics, hot swappable (if compatible), switch choice, RGB, PBT keycaps etc rather than a 'gaming' keyboard.

                You mention: most are implemented via BT
                That's not true.
                Sure the cheaper stuff are BT (along with some $100 Keychrons), but everything else wireless is 2.4Ghz.
                For example, $100 MCHOSE, Fantech, AULA, Akko, EPOMAKER, Logitech are all 2.4Ghz. And then most stuff from $150 onwards are all 2.4Ghz from Keychron V Max series, Nuphy Halo/Air etc.

                If you're talking about 1000-8000Hz polling rate for wireless then that's a different story. But you mentioned nothing about that and just mentioned wireless.

                  @tempestswitch: You are probably more correct than me as I have only gotten into mechanical keyboard in recent year.

                  Sorry, was referring to lower end of the market using BT.

                  Though, still a stretch that most mechanical keyboards are wireless.

                    Wouldn't say so, no. Unless you're looking at the $1K+ customs 😆

                    But almost every keyboard on AliExpress or Amazon nowadays are wireless/tri-mode. Even the cheap $35 ones.

                  @tempestswitch: Sounds like you know what you're talking about. Can you recommend a full size mechanical keyboard for $100 (or less)? Doesn't need to be wireless.

                    @Autonomic: Depends. What’s the priority? Good sound or RGB or features etc.

                    Decent Office Style- Keychron C2
                    Gaming - Logitech G512
                    Sound/Acoustics - Aula F99

                    I’d personally spend the extra $30 on the Aula F99.
                    Full size with gaskets and wireless compatibility. Plus it’s hot swappable and sounds amazing.

                      @tempestswitch: I have a G512, I'd be quite happy with a keyboard similar to that (linear switch, backlight that shines through keycaps). I don't want another one though, as the LEDs started failing 12 months in (stuck on one colour) and now my control keycap is broken.

                      Looks like the Aula is a good deal. I might buy through Temu with 35% cashback.

              @tempestswitch: Scorptec is not a true representation of the whole market, is it? Bring up the evident to back up your claim or you just pulled it out of your own …

  I have a similar one. All good, but Asus software for it is total crap. Needs efforts to make it work, and when it does it becomes the heaviest autorun item in my system.

  The recent experience I had with getting my order shipped with scorptec was so bad, I'd avoid them unless you can go into their stores. It took them over a week to pack my order and a few days for them to get it auspost. Tried communicating with them to no avail. Lodged a complaint with them and i have not had any response. Once an order is shipped they don't want to know you.

    You are correct. I’m annoyed now too. Ordered 5 days ago and they just merely shipped today!
