Is this bate? No one give in

That is not a mechanical keyboard.

Why?

Thanks Op :smiley:

Good price, but the 500 and 700 are better built if you can still get your hands on one of those. Still good for full cherry though!

There is more than 5!

Think you must be right - I tried adding more than 5 to the basket but gave an error saying there wasn't enough stock :confused: I'll remove that from the post cheers.

Great deal, hard to find a decent mech keyboard for sub-50. Ordered.

What's the catch? I thought it was all but impossible to get a full mechanical backlit UK layout keyboard for anything like this price?

This seems absurdly cheap for a mechanical.

The impact 700 is also there for £50, not sure if its worth the extra?

Useless keyboard

Great price, no media keys but not expected for this price, good if you don't need the bells and whistles

Could you record a macro to adjust volume?

Ordered. If this is genuine it's a steal, should be around the £100 mark.

Actually just checked on here and the keyboard prices are low, $50 for the impact 500 instead of $130, guessing clearing out old models?

Even by that I'd imagine the 600 would be in the middle at $59. That still makes £35 very cheap

Thanks :smile:

Good job they don't have the 104 key's in MX blues or I'd have yet another mechanical keyboard. :confused:

I have a cherry red, but I do a lot of typing, tempted by this. Great price.

Been waiting for a mech keyboard with a UK layout for this price.

Bought, hopefully will improve my PUBG experience.

Costs less than 70 so must be useless (according to pc master bates)

Thanks OP - ordered to replace my skanky broken storm

I suspect these switches are clones?

Cheers, ordered.

Is this quite old as it is not even wireless??? I was not aware that wired keyboards still existed, let alone being sold/

Hmm. I guess I'll give it a go then. Shame there are no media keys...

great price for mech

Hot. Ordered one for home and one for office.

Heat heat heat! Incredible deal for an amazing keyboard.

This & the Ryzen offer have been irresistable, gaming PC a-go-go!

These are brilliantly built keyboards, I have the 500 which is the ten-keyless non-backlit version, brilliant build, a joy to game/type on, and very solid/weighty. I wish the 500 was backlit, as that would make it the perfect keyboard for £35. Well worth the money, you'd think it's a £70 keyboard.

Discussed briefly here: https://www.reddit.com/r/MechanicalKeyboards/comments/50al6c/help_info_about_the_turtle_beach_impact_600/

One listing (here https://translate.google.co.uk/translate?hl=en&sl=sv&u=http://cdon.se/spel/turtle_beach_impact_600_gaming_tangentbord-30228843&prev=search ) describes it as having:

Steel reinforced design for better stability.
Cherry MX Switch - Unbeatable keystrokes that only Cherry switches can provide.
Extra keys and flexible attachments that make it easy to replace worn keys (says it comes with a keycap puller in other reviews, so assume that's what they mean)
Built-in Memory - Forget extra software. IMPACT 600 allows you to store your macros directly on the keyboard.
Backlit keys with multiple lighting modes.
3.5mm jack and USB ports.

Bought thanks op!

Heat, thanks op

Purchased, thanks OP

Just about to buy a Corsair keyboard as well, thanks op

I didn't need another keyboard, but at this price it was too hard to resist.

Thanks...

agree, it's been really hard to resist but my money is still on the bank, I'm proud of myself :smile:

I've got the 700 version. Got it from amazon ages ago on a lightning deal for £38. Solid keyboard and is genuine cherry mx

The 500 and 700 appear listed as PC/Mac..

Can only see this specified as PC compatible.. any use for a Mac owner?

Great feedback. Super useful.

Expired. Now £44.99.

Got a TeckNet from Amazon for £12.49 and looks very similar. Build quality very good. Impressed.
You may want to check Teck Net Mechanical Keyboard

I was waiting to get paid now its gone up in price :disappointed:
Anyone know a similar priced decent mech keyboard?

Even at £45 this is still great value for money.

Thanks for letting me know - will ammend the post accordingly.


The other deal I posted here is still valid - unfortunately, it's slightly more expensive and a tenkeyless board with no backlight.

Now that the price has gone up to £44.99, it would probably be worth spending the extra £5 to get the Impact 700 here - this keyboard features 2 USB pass-through ports as well as headphone & mic ports. Also looks like it comes with spare keycaps & a puller if the box is correct.

okay u have twisted my arm :smile:

That is not a mechanical keyboard.

went for the 700 in the end

It was an Ebay daily deal :smiley:

Sorry! :stuck_out_tongue:

Not a mechanical keyboard, just a cheap "mechanical-feel" keyboard it even says it on that page:

"Mechanical feeling - Suspended keys design offers better experience for gaming and office, not the real mechanical" Which is a load of rubbish as they're no better than just standard rubber dome.

Cherry MX Blue is for you then

Well using it now and quite impressed for the cost.
But question has to be wheres the dramatic difference ?
You're pressing a little larger keys.
Personally I say it's glaringly obvious it's more name than anything else.
Which is OK I do that myself sometimes. :smile:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0mahJROC69I It's a membrane keyboard that has a rubber dome with a switch inside, so it feels and sounds like a mech, but you probably know that.

I have a half-mech I bought from Amazon Warehouse for about £9 a while back, it does feel different to the (admittedly not Cherry MX, but Outemu) mechanical I've been using daily since April.

It is more than the name that commands the higher price. Mechanical keyboards are just that. Mechanical. Non mechanical keyboards use a membrane under the keys. The Turtle Beach keyboard above also offers anti-ghosting and key rollover. This helps when pressing more than 1 key at a time. Some keyboards get "confused" with mutli key presses. Useful for gaming. So it really is worth the extra if you use it for gaming.

Mine arrived just now and its a fantastic keyboard for the price, it has a nice heavy weight to it and zero flex, thanks for finding the deal OP! Weirdly windows 10 recognises it as Deck 108 Hassium?

Bit deceptive... The 700 degree of heat on this deal was when it was £10 cheaper.

It's now a luke warm deal. People might be mistaken.

probably what it is really, just rebranded but google says the deck keyboard is over $100

Cherry red 4eva

I'd still do that.

I'd be inclined to agree. The heat was reached at a lower price.

I am often adjusting volume whilst playing that.

I would like a new keyboard, brown key switches check, UK layout check, price check. Downsides for me are it's black and I will never buy another black keyboard after my last one. The 700 does look more like what I would like with the USB pass and headphone etc but that also is black, they are probably trying to shift the old black keyboard stock.

Hot but not for me unfortunately.

Look on the side of the box ;P then look at:

https://mechanicalkeyboards.com/shop/index.php?l=product_detail&p=677

Then you realise it really is a bargain :smiley:

Not sure I like the clicky sound of the blues plus I occasionally game. Thought brown was the best medium ground?

Mine arrived this morning. I'm really pleased with it. I also have a logitech g610 with mx browns that I use at work. I prefer this new turtle beach one.

Thanks for posting :smiley:

does this definitely have the full UK layout? big enter button?

I guess so, I game alot and I use MX Blues also love the clicky sound

Wow, I'm speechless! The quality on show here, for £35 is unbelievable; it's built like a tank, weight a ton (has to have a metal backplate, zero flex, no key chatter and very bright backlight. My K95 RGB isn't as well built (has chatter and key wobble) and that's a keyboard with a £200+ RRP! only negatives are no RGB and a slightly odd key font (Turtle Beach style). This keyboard = epic!

Yes, full size enter button is present and correct.

Arrived today and very happy with it although I'm still getting my ass kicked on SC2 :smiley:

Got it for £34.99 when the deal was new but I'd say easy worth more.

Yes full UK layout.

Does any one know what the 15, 100, 500MB is for on the home, insert and Pg up keys?

Figured it out. It's ms not mb. It's so you can add delays between key presses when recording macros.

Anyone know how to save the brightness level as I have to lower it every time I turn pc on?

Thanks for posting the deal OP. I have just ordered one. Does anybody know if this keyboard is really a Deck Hassium Pro 108, (I suspect it may be). If it is then could we use the documentation and utilities from the Deck website?

I'm pretty sure it is, mine arrived on Saturday. I'll try these tools out tonight.

Received KB this morning, clearly a Deck Hassium rebrand :smile:
Even at the higher current price of £45, just buy it!

Just registered to say thanks to the OP.

Mine just turned up. Solid keyboard, very good value for £35.

It's a dead ringer for the Deck Hassium Pro, will try the tools later...

Just tried it, I can't get the utility nor different LED modes to work.

Assume you're following the instructions? You have to hold the FN key and F11 to activate the lighting

They do say on the box something about made by deck, but I am not sure if the utilities work.

Doesn't work for me.

Me either, it's showing as a Hassium (not Pro) and has a different firmware revision. Deck tools state "not supported for this model".

You might be able to flash the deck firmware on, but I'm not willing to risk bricking it! Sorry.

Seems to be a great keyboard, mine came yesterday
Did anyone get the key replacement tool/spares with it? Also, can anyone get 'breathing' light mode working via turtle beach button + 8 as per instructions?

I don't feel much tactile feedback when the switches have been activated. Never used a mechanical kB before though so it might just be me. Expected more. It's not too different from the cheap mechanical feel keyboard I used before. Probably last longer though

Ah worked it out, seems to only come with the scandanavian versions of the 600

Oddly mine came in a Scandinavia outer sleeve. UK keyboard, no English on the back.


Breathing mode works fine on mine .... well it cycles the brightness up and down anyway. It's a bit of a rudimentary effect after experiencing a full RGB Logitech G810.

Oh you're right, no English on the back of my sleeve either
Is it the num 8 you're using to get breathing to work? Although it doesn't 'breathe' when I press either on mine... No biggy just wanted to see the full functionality.
Also no idea how to programme (mostly assign) a macro - mech keyboard noob that I am... I see the light flashes then when I click a key combo it goes steady but what button is that then assigned to......?

Impact 600 Quick Start Guide (English UK)
Deck CBL108-User Manual.pdf

The keyboard is based on the Deck Hassium, the extra LED modes (just gimmicks) you see on Deck's own keyboard appear to be removed/disabled on the Turtle Beach Impact 600 firmware.

The Turtle Beach Impact 600 firmware is S2086V29 as shown by Deck Firmware Upgrade Utility , the latest Deck Hassium firmware is L2086V34:
Hassium Standard CBL108

It makes sense that Deck would disable some of the features (gimmicks (_ :wink: ) found on their own models for the Turtle Beach Impact 600.

The Logitech G610 (also MX Brown switches) was a bargain at around £50, for £35 this is a steal. :smile:

This key combo activates breathing LEDs on mine.

Huh may have a dud then ah well no biggy

Can't you update to the latest deck hassium firmware to re-enable the gimm... er, features?

That is why link is provided but no mention if the Deck firmware will work or result in a bricked keyboard.
Waiting for someone who doesn't mind the possiblity of having to send a "DOA" board back to exchange for another.

WolFishAntics was sent a dud board, maybe he is can try flashing it first.

Yeah, it's Fn (the TB logo key) + 8 on the main keyboard. Fn+7 is On, Fn+0 is off.

I've not tried the Macros, unlikely to ever use them.

Also something to note - there is both a Hassium and a Hassium Pro from Deck. Unsure what the difference is, suspect the Pro has the LED features where the "not-Pro" doesn't. Couldn't find anything in a couple of minutes to confirm that however. The Impact 600 appears to be a modified Hassium not-Pro.

This post was originally £35 and now it's changed to £45 (to match the listing), I would expect/want the post to be expired! Not quietly changed! Now all the comments praising the price seems like people are talking about the new price when in fact they are talking about the the old price... very misleading! Not happy with Hotukdeals and it makes me wonder what motivations/interest they have to do this if it was intentional. Please correct me if I'm wrong, I rarely comment but I love the Hotukdeals' culture and community and I feel that this goes against it.

It's still a good deal, most backlit Cherry Mechanical keyboards of this quality are £60+. The OP has the price history in it, so I've no issue.

If it's that big of an issue, click the expired button yourself! cheeky

I agree the listing should be taken down and replaced - otherwise people are giving this product heat when it's been cheaper!
