K95 Price

Puppetmaster · 11 Apr 2016 at 23:13

So my current K95 has likely died from drink being knocked over on it (thanks cats!). I went to look at replacing it and K95s are now silly expensive (£185 vs what I think was around £130 before).

Is this a recent price increase or has it been this way for some time?

Weak pound to the dollar means most hardware cost has gone up

I've been using reds for quite a long time now (Had a K90 originally that died and was replaced under RMA by the K95) so I want to stick with them. Current keyboard is drying out after i stripped and cleaned it, so fingers crossed it lives.

Cleaned the keyboard, put it back together and it works (aside from 1 or 2 dead leds, normal for a K95 / K70 though)

Yeah they're so expensive now, I got the K90 and M90 for £130 a few years ago.

K95 prices may drop soon looks like they've got a new keyboard coming.
