Cheers, were from Wayfair, £250 for all three fittings, including led filament bulbs.

Manual HDMI switch. My amp is ancient so no HDMI switching. Using a projector for Sky occasionally, so can just click the button on top to switch output sources now rather than faff with the back of the SkyBox and HDMI leads.
Pics are a bit naff but 2 to 1.

Brilliant, thanks mate. We’ve been looking for something similar for our kitchen.

Unless I’m missing something they are £89.99 now with the bulbs. Where does your £250 come from?No problems

Wayfair prices like to change, so 3 for £250 recently versus for for £270 now isn't uncommon.
I was one my phone and only saw one fitting with three bulbs hence my confusion. Thanks.

I did get some money knocked off being a new customer signing up. They sent me a code to use.

Out of interest - why are keyboards now so pimped out? I gave up PC gaming back in 2006 (ish), and back then there didn't seem to be anything special about keyboards, they were just a peripheral to press buttons… I’m struggling to think why anyone could be bothered to ‘mod’ a keyboard for any reason; it’s not like it’ll offer any benefit to gaming (the only reason I can fathom to doing it) – or are they specifically for people who type loads and just want a more comfortable button press??
Genuinely interested, and likely to get flamed, considering the type of forum this is Also apologies this isn’t a question posted in Hardware – it was more of a fleeting thought I get, when I see these odd keyboards, with hipster cables and such

It's just part of the aesthetic of pretty PCs. If your PC is pretty, has a window, is full of RGB everything, why not extend that to the peripherals too? It's the same as people who bling up their cars.

To be fair, people tend to stop doing that after they're aged into their 20's and realise it looks daft

It's also a great way to get the keyboard you want instead of a cookie cutter board that normally sells in the shops.
The board I've shown above is by far and away better than any board I've ever had including my last one the expensive Ducky Shine 7 which is one of the best retail boards available.
Also it's a therapeutic hobby, like model making, painting etc...
At least for me it wasn't done just solely for the looks, the trying feel is far more important

Some people care about the looks and the bling, some people just care about the functionality. I'm one of the latter (RGB might actually make me slightly angry
), but I can understand why people want mad RGB on their stuff - it's just what they like, and they are not harming anyone.

Fair enough, I wasn't aware that keyboards were now such a hot mod, but now I know
