Brilliant deal and we'll worth it for a beginner to mechanical keyboards. I hade one for about a year and a half and it served me well. Heat!

Insanely good price for cherry red mechanical gaming keyboard.

Wow

The only marginally bad thing about the keyboard is the lack of rubber pads on the bottom of the keyboard. other than that it is a fantastic deal. I picked one up on monday and was delivered today. Its probably this cheap since Func was bought out so its likely that it is the last of the remaining stock.

have this keyboard cant believe the price here
its a great keyboard too with proper switches , like a 9 out of 10 for me personally

great price for mech keyboard

Nice.

£37.54 delivered, they charge VAT on the delivery too.

hot, great price.

for typing only would prefer Browns. Never mind

Ordered and I don't even like mechanical keyboards! God damn you HUKD!

Thats cheap from when it cane out. Good keyboard, kept my apm high xD

Nice

These are discontinued now aren't they? Shame as mine is superb.

Thanks I've gone for it, I haven't used a mechanical keyboard since the BBC Micro back in the day.
Fingers crossed there as nice to use as i remember :smiley:

Cold, £15 delivery to NI, it's a keyboard not a 40" TV ffs.

Fantastic price for a full size keyboard with Cherry MX branded switches. Eclipse don't have the best reputation online but they've been around for years. Fnatic have now bought the Func brand and say they will continue to provide support, although it's a keyboard so I doubt that's a big issue anyway.

If anyone is tempted to make the jump to a mechanical keyboard I doubt you'll find a better deal than this. Don't be put off by the marketing that red switches are for gaming and not typing. I'm typing this on reds and they are really comfortable.

Damn good price.

Not sure about the layout and the numpad, but at this price this is defo a good introduction to Red Cherry switches.

Ordered, good find OP.

Fantastic. Been looking for a decent mechanical keyboard with USB ports, cherry reds not my first choice, but this is just a great price. Ordered...

Thanks OP !

i bought 2 I own at around 40 from dabs around 1 year ago. great KB, but I'm using the rubber sound dampening rings as those help.

at 34 it's rude not to, will get some for work as well.

Ordered, should be a fine replacement to for my mid 80's IBM mechanical keyboard :smile:

What "rubber" rings would you buy to dampen the sound etc on these keyboards...?

Heat added OP and thanks for posting

Thanks, I might end up regretting not going for a keyboard with MX browns, but for this price MX reds are worth a try.

Heat nice keyboard

262172060563

funny they have the same keyboard on bay with 8 in stock selling at 51 delivered.

I've ordered. My Mad Catz Strike 5 is too big and I find the keys a bit unresponsive.

I already have a k70 so why did I just buy this? :stuck_out_tongue:

their prices looks "too" good,i never have ordered from them,but just try put eclipsecomputers in to google search and it looks not so good,sure comments are old but i will stay away for sure

Do the buttons have a tactile feeling when pressed? Or is that only MX browns?

Thanks, ordered :smiley:

ordered

got this, for typing i have made more errors as it is very squishy if you have been using normal keyboards for the entirety of your life, however for gaming it's really, the only negative from me is that it can be REALLY dusty and dust stuck between the keys is a pain

bought it to replace my k30 which i just got and hate!!!

Lets hope it's as suitable as the reviews online. Thanks OP ordered.

I'm a left hander with the mouse ... Anyone able to recommend a quality left hand mouse with good button features Starcraft 2, and the hopefully soon to be released Warcraft 3 remake HD.

Will this keyboard be any good with world of warcraft? I'm going to start playing with a friend new comer ... And the left hand mouse recommendation if any - will be suitable for good to high level play on wow :smiley:

does red mean the keys are stiffer?
I need a new keyboard but only game occasionally, need something that is nice to type on too.

ah, thanks. I wasn't sure if reds had to go with reds etc and if they were all about the same size to fit all keyboards.

I can see them on eBay for less than a couple of quid, albeit it from HK or China and thus a long delivery.

Excellent price for a brilliant keyboard. I have one i paid more for with dabs deal last year

NI gets screwed on a lot of these tech deals. Free UK shipping really means Free shipping in mainland Britain. The cost of delivery on so many of these deals knocks the price back up to what everyone else was paying and Amazon ends up being the best choice.

Hot
This has now been rebranded to the Fnatic Rush and is priced at €119
i bought my son this kb 6months ago for £60
not only is this silly cheap for a cherry mx kb. its silly cheap for backlit cherry mx which usually go for no less than £80
I bought one as a backup kb for lans etc if my k90 breaks

the only thing bad about this kb is the clips for the wrist rest which are flimsy and can snap. i had to drill and screw my sons rest and clips to eachother and re clip them as the clip snapped

I've read some horror stories about this seller, the only reason I'm on the fence with regards to purchasing this keyboard.

Also, the stock listing as "normally in stock" is not very reassuring.

I was determined not to buy this keyboard ,but clearly all the reviews i read from many well respected sites said it was a must have ! So what the heck ,just bought one !

Hmmmm quick question is this keyboard a regular UK qwerty layout ? Or is it US ?

Wow, what a difference £5 makes, this was posted a month ago and hardly got any heat. For those unsure about Eclipse all I can say is I had great service from them. Ordered on 29th Dec and arrived on 31st. Still over 150 in stock. Lovely keyboard at a lovely price (for a mechanical). If you fancy trying one this is by far the best deal around at the moment, especially with the nice backlighting thrown in as well. :sunglasses:

That's reassuring! I guess it's the old "we only tend to hear from the complainers" and not from the good service.

Ordered my first mechanical keyboard - thank you op :smiley:

For gaming via Func software can you choose which keys are illuminated ? Would be a ideal feature for me

Thats a shame , but still a great deal

Seriously, £15 delivery just to deliver a keyboard... Anyone find a similar price on any other websites?

Edit: Should have mentioned that's the delivery to NI.

That price is for northern Ireland, UK general price is 2.99 plus vat

good price but no paypal no deal
i dont want to risk it

I too paid with paypal ,at the checkout use the dropdown menu and choose paypal

thanks bought one

i didnt see that lol

total £37.54 but still good deal

Its my first mechanical keyboard !

You are not going to find a backlit MX red keyboard for anywhere near this price, cheapest is probably going to be at least twice this price. I bought one as a backup, who knows I may like it enough to replace my current one.

Been in the market for a keyboard for a while now. Not used these MX keys before so will be interesting to see how I find the reds. From what i've seen I think browns would be more up my street but who knows. Worst case scenario is i'll just use this one exclusively for gaming and get a blue/brown further down the line for typing. In either case, < £40 is a steal!

All gone.

called them this morning all stock gone unlikely to be getting anymore in as they are being rebranded, that's what he said. will be trying to get more stock from supplier next week, keep and eye on their website, but doubts it.

I have one in my basket. Will try to order and let luck decide.

I am unfamiliar with Eclipse Computers so can anyone tell me if you receive a dispatch email or not? As i bought the keyboard on Friday and have yet to receive anything other than a payment confirmation.

I didn't get a dispatch email, just an order confirmation. If you ordered on Friday my guess would be dispatched today and arrive tomorrow.

I emailed them today:
"Sorry for the delay in processing your order, due to the Christmas and New Years break we have been unable to get much done in terms of shipping items. We are however back in now and our couriers delivery service back to normal.

We are looking to get all orders picked and shipped before close of business today so look to receive your goods tomorrow, latest Wednesday
"

When did you order? I ordered mine Thursday and have not had any dispatch notification.

I ordered on Friday

heads up, just received mine this morning.
did not open coz had to rush to work.
will update in the evening.
thx OP :smiley:

Minnnnee haaas juuuuust arrived annd I''m usssing it nowwww. It issss greeeat....!"


Oops, only kidding.


It has just arrived and I have installed it. First impressions are good. I love the weight of the keyboard, seems very sturdy and well built. I have reduced the backlit setting by one. The keystroke and travel is very positive and "uniform" with no particular click but a sound as it "bottoms" at the end of a key press, if that makes sense. The spacing is good and overall the only thing that I might regret is not getting two...!

Latest software here....

https://support.func.net/support/solutions/folders/4000001536

Great buy and most impressed.

Those who received keyboards today, did you get a dispatched email?

Just had an email saying they are unable to fulfil all their orders.

This is despite me ordering Thursday night. Only difference is I paid by card rather than PayPal.

So basically if you paid by PayPal you're getting priority over people who paid using card. Awful service.

Has anyone who paid by card received one yet?

I haven't, just got told they had oversold. Made my order by card on the first of January.

I paid by paypal last Thursday and i'm yet to receive a dispatch email, cancellation email or keyboard so...

I ordered on Thursday and paid by card.
I spoke to them via email yesterday and they told me that they keyboards were due to be despatched that same day, I haven't received any emails since then.

I sent them an email today, got told they have a back log from new year and it would be posted today for delivery tomorrow.

Same here got an e-mail notification from PayPal yesterday. Actually selected the cheap £3 3-5 day delivery option so was really pleased they sent it ParcelForce 24.

I'm using it now, great value for £34, love the illumination which actually helps me type more accurately(I thought illumination was just a gimmick before). Maybe the only thing against it is I think the bottom row is non-standard so replacing all the key caps with third party designs might be a problem.

I read that the new owners of Func, Fnatic, provide warranty support for these. Here's a reddit thread where Sam Mathews, the new owner of Func talks about warranty and RMAs -

https://www.reddit.com/r/MechanicalKeyboards/comments/3vue65/some_clarity_on_the_funcfnaticgear_merger/

Just emailed them to ask and they said they had to cancel my order. Not sure if there's because i emailed them or not :wink:

Mine arrived today also and am typing on it as we sp...er, type! Quite surprised that some of you guys who ordered on Thursday have been told your order wasn't successfull considering I ordered on Friday.

Edit: One thing to note is that when I opened the box I found that the space bar and 0 key in the num pad were hanging off, like half clipped on. Pushing the keys down managed to sort this out but how this is possible for a supposedly un-opened package is odd to say the least. Everything was sealed though and the board itself looks immaculate so I don't doubt its new-ness.

I ordered on Thursday at 3pm by card. Still no dispatch/cancellation email.Not looking good...
Pretty poor if what others have said is true.

Mine arrived today, works great, and great to type on, well worth the money

edit; if you paid via paypal, log into paypal and dispatch/tracking info is on the transaction.
Figured this out after realising i'd had no dispatch or anything other than an "order request" email and saw the money had gone out

Got mine.. Really nice keyboard.. Well worth it.. Much better than my corsair k30 which is junk. I like the fact it quite low key don't look like something out if a 10 year old bedroom

I recieved mine today and oh my word is it pleasure! I haven't used a mechnical keyboard since the days of IBM Model M (still available though very expensive). Funny enough I typing is improved. Reallly chuffed with this little bad boy, thanks to the OP.

Has anyone who ordered by card on Thursday had one delivered? I ordered late Thursday afternoon and haven't had a dispatch (or cancellation) email yet.

nothing yet here either, money went out yesterday

Just received an email from PayPal with money refunded... No email or anything from eclipse computers as to why... Guess they had no stock left when I ordered. But at least communicate that to me..

Received mine, looks like I have a dodgy 'c' key as it requires multiple presses sometimes to register :disappointed: Oh well, seemed great apart from that.

I paid by card on 31st December (Thursday), money was taken on 4th January but no dispatch email or delivery here yet! :disappointed:

Chased them up and said they had to cancel the order as out of stock even though they took the money. Ordered by card on the Thursday.
Wouldn't mind but there was no communication at all prior to the initial order so I doubt I will be dealing with them again once I get my money back.

"Apologies for the delayed reply, we have been closed for business over the New Year.

Unfortunately due to the sheer volume of orders that came in for the keyboard, we seem to have over sold and have ran out of stock of the keyboards we had in a matter of days. I therefore regret to inform that we will be unable to fulfil your order. Please be assured that any charge raised on your card will be refunded with immediate effect. If however we do end up getting more stock of the Func KB-460s in we shall be informing all customers who ordered one but did not receive it on a priority basis.

I hope this hasn't caused to much inconvenience and all the best for the New Year."

Chased them up this morning and they have told me it will be despatched today.

Here's hoping :confused:

I got a refund to

No email, no communication, just checked my bank and I had a refund yesterday. What bunch of f***ing jokers!

I guess I'm not getting mine either, no contact at all from EclipseComputers. What a terrible company.

Think it's clear that those who haven't received keyboards by now will be getting a refund as stock ran out.

Recieved my refund via paypal. Not mad as I had a feeling that they wouldn't have enough to fulfil the orders.

I'll probably get a gigabyte osmium if they go cheap again.

Just telephoned them, they took the money but said they'd emailed me to say out of stock (but that is BS), and will process a refund now.

If you have not received your keyboard yet you will need to phone these jokers to get your refund.

Eclipse Computers is now buyer beware for me.......

Mine arrived today. I can't really fault eclipse but their systems could be much better for allowing people to know the status of their orders.

Ordered mine on the 2nd for deliver on the 8th.
Had no contact from them at all. Spoke to someone today that said they are waiting for delivery or alternative keyboard.
Very unhappy didn't think this could happen in retail on-line.

Reading the posts it seems like you have more chance of getting this if you paid using PayPal, disgraceful service definitely one to avoid.

please take your time to review the company at

https://uk.trustpilot.com/review/www.eclipsecomputers.com

buyers who haven't heard of eclipse computers need to be made aware of this shambles

I think their website needs work. As far as I can tell, their order system (if you pay via card) just gives them your details which they can charge when someone manually processes the order.

They also don't seem to have any despatch or order processing email system in place.


To be fair, when I did email them they respond fairly quickly and managed to find me a keyboard (which I'm very happy with) but would be slightly wary of using them again. At the very least, I'll be using PayPal!

Check your order if it hasn't arrived. They claim they had a lot of orders and not enough stock because of the holiday period.

Well I am seriously miffed, ordered on the 31st december, heard nothing by the 11th of january, finally chased them up and got told they had oversold.
Well it seems that they processed Paypal orders, but I paid by credit card, have they processed Paypal orders taken after my order?

Will not use them again, that website is a disaster.
