Does anyone know where I can get a Corsair K70 with cherry MX brown switches in the UK?

 

Im aware they've stopped manufacturing them to make way for the rgb backlit KBs but they aren't due out for at least another few months.

 

Suggestions for other MX Brown keyboards would be appreciated if I cannot locate a K70, Thanks.

Good luck. If you can't find one either wait for the RGB keyboard (which I will not get because I hate back lighting) or get a Ducky Shine 3, Quickfire TK, or another version of the K70.

I don't really want to wait that long, I though about getting an MX Blue K70 but I don't have any experience with blues so I'm hesitant to spend so much and turn out to not like it. 

People say blues aren't great for gaming but are brilliant for typing.

 

A friend of mine has a K60 and I love the style of it so ideally I'd like a K70.

It seems Corsair has intentionally allowed the K70 to run out of stock in most stores which could mean they're simply going to replace them completely with the RGB version rather than selling both at the same time.

But that's just a theory.

The MX Blue and Brown switches are now discontinued. There still will be MX Browns and blues when they release the new K70 RGB keyboards.

OP's looking for Browns (neither color available) and in a UK layout though (i assume) :(
