Or you can get the G910. For some reason I cannot submit a deal at the moment but these are normally around £130. If you want one from the Amazon warehouse Deals you can get 20% off of £76.79 bringing it down to £61.43. Click on the 'used' link and select the one that is in original pristine packaging.
best deal I have seen in a long time for a mechanical keyboard heat

Amazon stock photo shows the US layout version that is why, you'll get the UK version.

Just out of curiosity, is there any particular technical reason to prefer mechanical over electronic?
Or is it just the feel and sound of mechanical keyboard , as some people might prefer it? Thank you.

Not bad at all for a proper mechanical keyboard, tempted to replace my g105
All keyboards are electronic (as in they pass electricity from place to place), when we say mechanical we mean how the switches for each key work. Most keyboards use a rubber membrane (sheet of rubber) which you then press down on and it squishes two contacts together to register a key press. These cost a few pennies to make the entire keyboard but offer little feedback, as in they don't make a noise when you press them and the only way to tell you've pressed a key is you're jamming your finger into the solid backplate (which hurts, try poking a desk).
Mechanical keyboards use mechanical switches, as in some bits of metal actually move and make contact when you press the keys down. They audibly click when they're pressed halfway down and you can feel the point at which they activate through your fingers. They're generally regarded as better but cost way more to produce, like tens of pennies per switch, and there are 100 or so.
