Corsair K90 *Refurbished Mechanical Keyboard cherry MX Reds @Scan UK

Found 7th Oct 2013

For a corsair K90 this deal is mind blowing, used on ebay cheapest £80, also a discontinued model and also may be refurbished its the best price for a mechanical keyboard of tournament level gaming. Cherry MX Reds are designed for gaming with its non- tactile linear design its perfect for gamers. 90% of keys are mechanical keys, macro e.g. G1-G18 use rubber domes same with page up + page down

£4.16 Delivery

*Edit
Received the keyboard today, the condition of the box is superb looks brand new, although the keyboard was a bit dirty (easily cleaned with a wet-ish cloth) includes wrist rest which is bendable and doesn't snap easily, keyboard is not that big tbh.

Why is there refurbished k90 keyboards?

Its because its discontinued and people decided to refund it, they can't advertise as new this making it refurbished which cuts 4/6 of the cost.

and ordered. Thanks!

You can pick it up instore to reduce delivery cost, unless you live close spending £4.16 is better than wasting petrol, also they do next day DPD so not much people complain about loss of item(s)

............. just bought a k50 from currys for £55. If only they did brown switches for this. How loud are the red switches as I want it for photo editing and not for gaming.

There is no tactile feedback and for photo editing I suggest a blue switch since they are much louder and are typist recommended, k50 uses normal membrane rubber domes.

Unless I'm missing something these could be sold on ebay as used at a profit.

* This is a Refurbished Keyboard but is factory tested and may have slight cosmetic wear. they ship with the original retail box (condition unknown) including all accessories.

I'm not so sure about this deal - I have a mechanical keyboard (6Gv2) but it isn't illuminated and having black keys nowadays tires my fingers a bit.

8th Oct 2013

I have totally bought the **** out of this!

is the macro section removeable? might buy this and sell my current cm storm trigger on ebay if it is!

Nope,

On a side note - I might be possibly selling my K90 in favor of a K70 with Cherry MX Brown switches, I type too slow with Reds. £50 for a refurb is a decent price i guess. my K90 cost me just shy of £95 when it was new

8th Oct 2013

remember free delivery if you're registered on AVforums (just need to add something so it's £50+vat, about equal to the cost of delivery)

8th Oct 2013

if i'm typing large documents would reds be a better move than blacks?

How do you apply that? I've been with AVForums for awhile now.

that's a shame. I really like the look of the keyboard but I would never use the macros. my current keyboard has one line of macro keys and it's semi-annoying, so that one would probably be way overkill.

Would this be good for Daley Thompsons Decathlon?

ive always wanted to try a mechanical keyboard but they've usually been around £100 so ive gone for this one

but i never play MMO's only the odd game of battlefield or cod, would this be good for normal typing and for FPS games?

cheers

Yes, it will do the job well. This is a great deal, wish I hadn't bought a Qpad MK-85 on friday..would have snapped this up in a flash!

Depends on supply and demand. If everyone had that idea and decided to flood the eBay market, it's be hard to find a decent profit, not to mention P&P and seller fees :\

8th Oct 2013

I'm tempted to get this and sell my 6gv2, I've seen them go as low as £30 for my keyboard when I spent a lot more. Saying that their value has gone up a bit of late.

8th Oct 2013

Cheapest item to tip the total to over £50 ?

8th Oct 2013

Can anyone confirm if this is UK or US layout? The part number states UK, but the picture show US. I would hope that the PN is correct, and that the picture is just for illustration.

8th Oct 2013

Thanks OP, ordered.
Got a G15 going spare now then. Anyone want to purchase?

normally blacks are heavier so I think that's better than reds but this mech keyboard price is a steal!!!!

8th Oct 2013

Can anyone comment how much bigger than a normal keyboard this is, looks quite long but can't find any dimensions.
Edit: Found it : K90 502(L) x 163(W) x 24(H) mm / 19.7” (L) x 6.4” (W) x 0.94 (H)
Thanks op I play a lot of bf3/4 so will go for this.

Would snap this up, but it's just too wide and won't fit on the drawer I'm using... Shame!

8th Oct 2013

Well, that's me £100 worse off X) Along with some fans and bits I've been meaning to get for ages! I hope 'pre-order - expected today' doesn't mean they've actually sold out, though.

I'll have an HPE 104 with MX Blues for sale when this arrives, in case anyone's interested. Can't get away with blues, can't stand the clicking when I have a headache!

Ordered - fantastic price.

If you're on the hexus scan group, it's free delivery from £20!!

Bear in mind that only the main keys are actually mechanical on this board. The function keys, macro keys, and the block of keys above the arrows (insert, delete etc.) are still the same old spongy membrane keys you find on any cheap keyboard. This also means the keycaps aren't replaceable.

Still a bargain of course, voted hot, just something to bear in mind.
