Genuine Cherry mx Brown switches. TKL Hybrid size (see first post). Both items are individually worth more than the £64.50 total price. There's 1% TCB if you can be bothered. Note: the full size version of this keyboard with RGB lighting is also available for £110, but not as good a deal as this.
***EDIT: This is a standard UK / ISO layout (i.e. not US / ANSI).

The masterkeys pro range seem to be highly rated as middle of the range mechanical keyboards.
This one has cherry mx brown switches and white LED lights.
This is the tenkeyless hybrid - like a TKL but... different.
Looks to be about the same size as the TKL, but with full num pad instead of just the arrow keys and ins/del etc
Probably best if you look at photos comparing the 's' model with this 'm' model, and then comparing both against the full size 'l' model.
In my opinion, this deal is a no-brainer if one is after a semi decent mechanical keyboard; sell the headset and recover most of your outlay. Or keep both - I presume the headset is at least reasonably good.

Isn't the picture of a US layout?

The part number suggests it is UK - Part No: SGK-4080-KKCM1-UK Good deal, heat added

Yeah I'm aware of that, but all the pictures on the site are definately of a US layout keyboard, I'd know cause I have one.
Still added heat just kind of wary as mine said UK and ended up being US but got it so cheap wasnt worth returning.

I bought one from there recently and it's definitely a UK layout. That said, the box shows a US layout, but I suppose this is to cut down on costs.

I asked the customer service at box.co.uk: they confirmed that it has a UK layout.

I remember when the only keyboard you could have was mechanical. I have a box of old style IBM Model M's somewhere & a few Dell ones.

I got the "S" version of this at a discount. Fantastic tenkeyless, so I imagine the M is great, too!

I have the masterkeys pro L and it is excellent and solidly built. The missing arrow keys on the M is a bit of a dealbreaker.

Here is a pic of the TKL 's' and the TKL Hybrid 'm'. they all have the arrow keys in the same area as the full size 'l' would.
To me this 'm' is the best of both worlds - maintains a numpad (missing on tkl keyboards), whilst still being smaller than a full size 'l'

right, but not dedicated arrow keys, i find you can feel where the arrow keys are better based on the shape and the space around them, based on muscle memory and almost every other keyboard in existence. for example, if you are entering numbers on excel a lot and moving between cells, with the M, you are going to be switching between numbers and arrows a lot which would take some getting used to.
another thing i spotted is the bottom bezel is much bigger on the M than the others.

I've had the previous version of this keyboard (QuickFire TK) for ages and the arrow keys are not an issue. They are at the edge of the numpad so easy to find with your fingers. I don't use num pad much but then if you do you probably won't be buying this or a TKL.
My main gripe with the QuickFire was the awful font but this seems to be fixed with this version. On that basis I would definitely recommend it.

Must be a problem on their side as their Gaming keyboards section is also showing up as empty! :disappointed:

Showing zero stock of everything. Either someone just bought several million pounds worth of stuff in the last few minutes, or Anonymous have hacked them for paying taxes or something :disappointed: **EDIT: link working now

Only 14 in stock when I ordered a few hours ago. Most likely OOS now from the looks of it.

Sorry people, OOS until next month. Seems they sold 17 in a short amount of time. Expect to see them up on eBay soon I imagine :disappointed:
