EVGA Keyboards?

As the title suggests, saw an ad for the "EVGA Z20" keyboard.

It looks pretty fancy if I do say so myself. I've personally been looking for something like that with the RGB and the programmable macro keys. That said it doesn't appear to be available in the UK at the current time.
Historically I was strongly considering the old Razer blackwidow (with the Macro keys), kind of regretted not pulling the trigger at the time.

Has anyone had any experience with EVGA peripherals? I'd be interested to know more.

If you are an elite member such as myself, they cost peanuts on the EU store. Although, one of the main concerns of the keyboard is that it is super loud and has cheap key materials. Personally, I would look elsewhere if you have to pay full price for it, their mice are pretty good though.

How is eliteness obtained, if I may ask? Is it free or do I have to pay for it?

EVGA members who have purchased and registered ONE of the products listed in the box below.

GeForce 30 Series Family

Maybe I'll look into the community section.

So you have not purchased anything? Doesn't have to be a GPU, loads of stuff.

I just had a look around their store, literally nothing is in stock, not even a T-shirt. Not sure if they aren't selling to my region or something.

EVGA went downhill a long time ago. They no longer sell their motherboards outside the US for starters, their distribution of GPU's is also highly skewed towards the US too. I no longer buy their stuff, they are almost anti anywhere but the US.

I figured as much, when they won't even sell you a T-shirt with their own brand on it, you know they're not interested. It's a shame too.

:confused:

Maybe when people have stopped saying the "B" word then it'll get better.
