This is tough. No I do not own one, but this retails for $280 on the manufacturer's website. They are running the same $80 promotion, so it seems legitimate. The problem is... why discount such a high end product by $200? I would skip.

 

It might be a great board for $80 with a lot of customization. But the fire sale approach makes me worry.

Haha, I don't see the promo, where is it?

They've been blowing out a lot of their keyboards. Either they're coming out with new models, or they're getting out of the keyboard game entirely.

Yeah this is confusing. I searched for the keyboard on Amazon and while the listing looked fine, the seller's page returned car tools. Not sure what's going on there. Plus their website has this product at $280 for MSRP and the Amazon listing is $99, but both are discounted to $80. Seems way too fishy.

 

Skip.

The deal is on their own website too so it seems legit... and that's a hell of a deal.

 

I've had the everest max since 2021 and still perfectly happy with it.

I wanted their KB way back and sadly there was no delivery to my country from anywhere. Just checked the TKL one it's down from 180 to 40€ that's huge! I'd get it for sure. 

They had discounts before, but this is the largest one, I'd assume is due to many competitors now and HE keyboards becoming mainstream.

Yeah no amazon here and the factory doesn't seem to ship to my country anymore, but looks like our local retailer distributes them and at a similar price... almost tempted to get a 2nd for the other desk.

I ended up going ahead purchasing it. I will follow up when it gets here next week and give an update regarding the product and service.

 

Although I live in he US, so the experience will most definitely differ for our neighbors across the pond, and above us.
