looks good, can you dim or change the LEDs?

you can change the brightness and customise the layout but it is single colour only. it would be £50 more if it was RGB

$109 = £100

I know right, but you have to remember that the UK ISO layout is the least popular in the world and as such manufacturing costs are higher.

blue is having yield issues at cherry

Great looking keyboard. Do you know if you will have this and other mechanical keyboards at Insomnia 55? I want to try out red and brown switches to see what one I like best.

Come and speak to me at i55. I will talk you through it and show you both. just ask for rich. I will have rjk on the back of my shirt anyway.

Do Cherry still make the black MX switches? I had red at first but they're too soft and i'm seeing less and less mechanical keyboards with black switches these days.

Of course they do. But it is by far the least popular switch.

Id likely go for this as I like the look of it, but wary of mechanical boards after the nightmare I've had with the ozone strike pro.

The ozone board is made by the same OEM that Mionix use.for their keyboard.

Give this one a go if you fancy it. Corsair have an excellent RMA procedure. As do other premium brands like ducky and DAS. You shouldn't have any issue when buying from ocuk anyway, of you do then grab my attention via trust and I will help where possible

will this ever come with brown switches? Because red switches are good, but very loud.

red is the same as brown but without a tactile bump. there is no mechanical difference otherwise.

if red is loud then a mechanical keyboard is perhaps not for you
