Would you want to pay £50 more just for some dedicated macro keys? When I purchased my K70 I looked at the flagship, just not worth the extra for extra keys.

Decent deal for a corsair mech.

Correcting myself, looks like the updated version is fully mech.

Yea, I had this at launch, nice keyboard bit two of the LEDs died on the board within 4 months.

that's a shame as it looks like a really solid keyboard

Yea it was a solid board to be honest, wasn't keen on the macro keys been membrane keys when the rest of the board was mechanical. If it wasn't for the led issue I had I would recommend it but I don't think mine was an isolated case with this particular board.

I really didn't like the Red keys, too squishy, not nice to type on. Much prefer the browns I've got now on a k70.
Great deal though if anyone likes the red keys, I'd just encourage people to try them first (easier said than done!)
That said at this price it's probably just worth a punt

Same, I tried a few out. Browns suited me best, wife prefers blues although I can hear her typing on the damn thing when I'm outside CLACK CLACK CLACK!

Used to have one of these and ended up changing it for a K70 GRB with browns. Reds were horrible and I never used the macro keys so saves space, also heard the RGBs had sorted out the LED issues.
Definitely a good price though!

Better than my Ducky Shine 3 TKL, it's even without the numberpad so less keys to go faulty and it ended up back for 3 warranty repairs in the first 12 months for faulty LEDs (6 in total), only 1 year warrantly too - never again. Keyboard itself is excellent to type on but what's the point in paying for backlit keyboards that simply don't sodding work after a few months!
