Looks like Amazon are doing a deal on this...at only £119 (compared to the more usual £180+)

That's a hell of a deal

 

[Rakk]

Oh, I might need to get that, currently got one , but its starting to double-tap on a few keys now (its nearly 3 years old now - not sure how long these should last)

Pretty much forever 3 years isn't good value for mechanical keys mate, I'd take them off and make sure you don't have a physical problem with the keys in question

I've has mine since 2014 and it's like new, they should be bulletproof, literally last a lifetime. Its possible there's some dirt under the caps.

I think he has one mate, either this or the K70 which are pretty much the same to be honest except those macro keys..... I'll be honest the macro keys seem nice though

Just ordered one of these and a M65 Elite mouse (also with big discount). I have been after a new keyboard for a while and this should fit the bill.

Mine has now arrived and is connected to my PC. The keys are very different to those on my old Microsoft wireless keyboard and much noisier. It is better to type on and I don't get the missed characters I had on my old keyboard.

Many thanks to @TonyCarter for alerting us to the deal

So how you finding the M65

Not had much chance to use it yet. It seems a lot bigger than my old MS wireless mouse. That isn’t a problem for me, as I have large hands (as well as big feet) but it could be for others. I haven’t decided on what to do with all the buttons yet, as I am not used having them. I have the RGB set to a single colour, same as the keyboard, pump, motherboard and fans. I apparently could add PRO RAM to the 500D SE with the H115i cooler. One annoying thing on the mouse is the red light on top (between the DPI +/- buttons), which does not seem to be controllable via iCue. I haven’t bothered taking off any weights, as the weight of a mouse is not going to affect me, unless it is too light.

 

[Martinr36]

That red light denotes what DPI you've got it set to, i'm on green which is 3000

That makes sense. Being a typical man, I never read manuals or guides.
