So, I was looking around for mechanical keyboards and the only one I could really find that appealed to me was the black widow 2014, sadly barely and mechanical keyboards are green.

I need help with a few things, one is weighing up prices, because at the moment it sounds to me that it would be cheaper to import it from the US since the dollar is kinda weak, an import would be around £83 from amazon compared to £125, i do need to know how much the postage would cost + customs hopefully they aren't too high, thanks.

 

If anyone else has any suggestions of better keyboards for the money that would be nice too.

Corsair K70 or K95 if you need the macros

 

 

*ninja'd*

That was pretty quick, however I forgot to mention that my preference is with cherry MX blue/brown keys and most of corsairs keyboards ship with MX reds. Thanks for the suggestion though.

Plus on the website they sell out in minutes, and anywhere else they are £30 more.

First, add VAT, then add shipping, then add import duty, + handling fee, also the shipping company can charge, so its hard to give a 100% answer

Thank you, came to $109, so it's cheaper to buy it here if I were to buy it at all, it works out about £15 more expensive.
