Kind of stupid to say but if this was a 60% keyboard I would totally be down for it. That spacebar is awesome.
 
I don't mind spending 400 quid plus on a gfx card or a multitude of other pc related stuff but the day I spend £160 quid on a keyboard is the day they send me to the funny farm. Nice looking personally for me but I think some people are going a bit overboard on keyboard/mice prices no matter how "good" they are, I mean it's just a keyboard....

"Just" a keyboard sure... only the part of your computer you spend the most time physically interacting with.

Screen, keyboard and mouse and the three most important parts of any computer... really.

Considering this will easily last 3+ years... pending no wine spillage... it's 1 pound per month or less if it lasts longer.

I enjoyed how my QPAD QT85 has felt over its use and i think I spent 90-120 quid on that... had it for a good 6-12 months before I came over here... so it'll be at least 3 years old now... has seen many spillages... only the last one that really got to it
 
@Gibbo

did OCUK get partner exclusive for the Launch on this as previously stated?

As the Price i would agree with some is a little too high for most, including myself.

Im sure after the "months" of delay that OCUK could arrange a limited time offer due to the delay. think between the £120-130 mark would be about right.
 
From what i can gather.

€199.99 direct from Steelseries, with free shipping and a free steelseries wrist rest.

Thats £144 delivered to the UK as no tax

OCUK defo need to do better with pricing on this :(
 
The retailer needs to make a profit to stay afloat mate. It looks like a decent keyboard, but I am worried about how long it will last as the complexity has increased. The keyboard has it's own processor even! Maybe one day, in the far future we'll have processors as good as an i7 in there XD But a nice keyboard nonetheless. I hope its better than their mice.
 
I know lol. its a real PITA at the moment as it has been delayed about 6 times on me. I'm hesitant to give you lot updates at this rate with it being so commonplace to be delayed.
 
A couple of videos to try and show the way the keys highlight and fade after typing. One is a bit bright so doesn't show too well... the other one i darkened... but it shows it flickering (which it doesn't much do to the eye).
