The corsair isn't mechanical if that's what you are looking for

A mechanical keyboard for £39.99? Hot.
AND it's a red switch - suits me!

The Corsair K30 is a silicon membrane keyboard, whereas the Element keyboard is a mechanical one, using Kailh red switches. Mechanical keyboards provide a superior typing experience, very unique as compared to membrane keyboard, it mimics the feeling of typing on a typewriter if that makes sense. £40 for a beginner mech is not bad at all, whereas £35 for a membrane keyboard is very expensive.

Looks like a knock off K70

No, brown and clears are the quiet ones, red is louder, blue is loudest if I'm not mistaken.

Wouldn't ever get a mouse pad without a gel wrist rest as I'd just get mini golf balls on my wrists again, so that would be chucked out, but that looks like a great price for a mechanical keyboard.

LED's will most likely die quick. I've actually just ordered from the same brand, mine's probably going to be even worse, it cost me £19.99. But I wanted a keyboard to match my setup (White/Blue) lol.

Hot. Consider getting a set of dampening O-rings for those kailhs.

Wish these were blue switches.

Red has no click or bump when pressed. You get a response faster this way but some people don't like the lack of a click!
If you're after quiet, then just get o-rings for the type of switch you prefer. None are really quiet otherwise.

Honestly....really good.
I'm a big fan of Cherry switches and have various keyboards with different types. We recently had a board with Kailh switches and they're very good. Apparently some of the early switches had consistency issues, but this seems to be entirely solved now.
As much as I'd love to fanboy over Cherry, I really can't fault Kalih these days.
Red are not for me, but this is a great price.

I bought this keyboard a while ago and quite a few of the keys would stick and squeak also all the keys had a fair amount of sideways wobble which I could not get used to. I returned it after a couple of weeks of use but on the plus side Ebuyers returns service was really good.

Got this as a spare to my dirt cheap Argos misprice - It's not too bad.
