After the DABS debacle over the Gigabyte Osmium that appeared to be in stock for one (confirmed) person. I decided to see if there was any other mechanical keyboard offers. Specifically Cherry Browns (for typing). After a bit of digging Scan have some refurbed Corsair Vengeance full size keyboards with Cherry browns for £65~ ex del. Great deal for a keyboard that is normally double the price.
68.67 from scan
Note price given is included UPS del option £3.99.
To be fair to Corsair, they exchanged it (with a bit of hassle). We're on our 3rd since then due to the same issue.
Newer boards should be okay, along with the refurbs I'd hope.

I've just received mine, in fact im typing on it right now and it's amazing to type on. Really fluid. It is UK layout. I'm just going to upload some pics and then I'll link the album onto this post.
All the LEDS are working correctly, no issues. Checked every key and there are no problems. Even the media keys work on mac. The keyboard came in OEM-Like brown paper box but it was sealed at the manufacturer and came with all the gubbins, including the different colour keys for the gaming part (WADS etc) and the keycap fob thing. Had a look up and down the keyboard and the keyboard is completely spotless, no marks or anything. Feels like it has never been typed on.
i was going to post this earlier, seems like a great deal!

Was looking at this today. I've posted a question on the scan site to see what they mean by refurbished though.

All the hair and dead skin of the previous owner has been vacuumed out.

I'm receiving delivery today for my keyboard. Will update as soon as I get it and give it a try. At the end of the day we can always return them if they aren't fit for purpose. :smiley:

Does the keyboard you got come with the proper UK layout IE big Enter button etc?
Thanks
