Who'd have thought USD was worth substantially more than EUR or GBP…?
Other than that, I'm really interested in this keyboard. Seems to tick all the boxes on my “want list” for a mechanical keyboard.
£160 !
Seems very dear to me, I do like the RBG lighting though
I like the style, but the price is just way too high. Sure Logitech is usually a good brand, but I'd rather get the Corsair K40 and not get ripped off.
Looks great but since when has £1 = $1? Might be able to understand it if the product was made in the US then shipped across but seeing as it's most likely made in China that argument is null. Even adding VAT onto the US price makes it about £135…
Still no sleep button the keyboard… omg why
why? I mean i could understand if they got rid of the numpad as there are definitely gamers who prefer a keyboard without, but this is just the orion spark with no programmable keys? I'm sure its a bit smaller but it doesn't look like enough to make a difference…plus they removed the phone stand so why bother making the app…
looked like a good canidate for my next board until I saw the price
how does it compare to the Razer BlackWidow Tournament Edition Chroma (£125)
Is it wrong that I saw the thread title and automagically read ZX Spectrum?

The idea here is that this is NOT the typical 0mgwtfh4xbl!ngz0r gamer keyboard. This keyboard was made to appeal to the *other* gaming crowd. Just because the keyboard doesn't have *dedicated* programmable keys doesn't mean it doesn't have any programmable keys at all. Also, if you want a tenkeyless, get the G410.
get the lube where being fooked again yanks need money so we are paying over the odds ..

Yanks don't have to pay VAT remember!
Were they raiding Corsair's bins for that volume wheel?
Much better than the G910, but sad part is the lack of glow around the keys.
Palmrest would have been nice as well.
Now, I don't know how the Omron keys feel compared to the Cherry ones, nor how loud they sound.
Mmm, £160 for a Wired keyboard? If this thing was Wireless and rechargeable then it might just be worth it. Until then my Logitech K800 will have to suffice.

In what way is it “much better” than a G910?
I tested the G910+ and for me the Romer G switches are not a patch on their G710+ with MX Browns :)
I wish they hadn't ditched Cherry MX just because Corsair got exclusivity for RGB lighting. As that's all it is lights lol
