About this deal
This deal is expired. Here are some options that might interest you:
The elite gamers are probably going to have a field day rubbishing this keyboard (mainly because of it's switches) but find a keyboard here or in China that has the same specifications for a tad over £46.
So I've used this keyboard for a couple of days now (blue clicky switches) and although the Gixian switches won`t sound as good as Cherry or Gateron they use hot swappable 3 pin (5 pin compatible) so you can swap out for something better.
Now the elite gamers are also going to say that the keyboard construction must be bad, but to be honest it has a nice weight, the keys are perfectly spaced (& use double shot keys rather than cheaper and less resilient ABS) and it has all the essential keys (including arrows and a lovely alloy volume knob (Ooo errr)
Other specs are: limited RGB but has some good static backlights, 4000mah battery and USB charging.
Lastly a touch over £46 for a UK layout keyboard with any kind of hot swappable switches. wifi, BT5 and long standby as a bargain as bare (identical) DIY keyboards are more money (£20 more) and you need to use your own switches and key caps.

sorted byAll I can find below £100 that 'match' this specification, layout but uses better caps and switches is the EPOMAKER keyboards and then you have to step up to Corsair and Logitech which cost £130+.
Please can you advise?
Swapped to ANSI because of cheap boards like these myself and honestly it doesn't bother me anymore anyways.
With a couple of mods I can imagine this will sound a little better, and feel a bit nicer too. Even a nice cheap set of PBT caps can work wonders
Looks perfectly acceptable price wise for a base to mod and learn from.

This is otherwise a steal!
If you can order from Aliexpress, you can very often find good deals. I have just bought my Keychron K8 Pro with BT, VIA support, RGB backlighting, hot swappable, incl. Gateron switches and key caps, for less. But you need to be lucky.
This is otherwise a brilliant deal from a UK based seller. (edited)
So £60 for a keyboard of this spec with half decent switches still seems like a bargain to me.
Anyhoo these are the switches I`ve just bought: amazon.co.uk/gp/…6QH
Do you want and audible click? Then go blue (clicky), if you want smooth, consistent, and silent keystroke then go red (linear) but if you prefer a little bump on the travel (or more resistance) then tactile browns might be preferred.
If you`re not sure listen to some YouTube switches videos but make sure they you note the manufacturer and type as another might sound different.
Oh and I've just installed some AKKO V3 Cream Blue tactile switches for just over £13 as they are highly rated and sound a lot quieter than the blue switches I bought as standard.
Obviously due to the layout (as pointed out) it has 2 backslash keys but you have to realise that this is a cheap starter mech keyboard that people can upgrade if they want to (& some might like, and would like to keep it standard)
Personally I'm changing the switches, keycaps and maybe some other mods but at the end of it I will have a personalised keyboard that cost less than £100.
anyone using these
It was on the recommendation of this Youtube short: Akko V3 Cream Blue | $0.19 Tactile King? & they sound just the same as they did in the video
Oh and as pointed out they won't replace 'all' your switches but it should do the important ones (& you could populate the rest at a later date) (edited)
