Posted September 16, 2015 Try Ducky? The Func KB460 is also really cheap - like $95 AUD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted September 17, 2015 Author Try Ducky? The Func KB460 is also really cheap - like $95 AUD. would love to but nether of these brands exist in SA Redstone:i7-4770 / Z97 / GTX 980 / Corsair 16GB / H90 / 400C / Antec EDGE / Neutron GTX240 / Intel 240Gb / WD 2TB / BenQ XL24 Obsidian: MSI GE60 2PE i7-4700HQ / 860M / 12GB / WE 1TB / m.Sata 256gb/Elagto USB HD Capture CardRazer Deathadder Chroma / Razer Blackwidow TE Chroma / Kingston Cloud2's / Sennheiser 429 / Logitech Z333 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can survive without it, not ideal but looks like my budget just went huge thanks to landing a massive DJ gig, So will prob be buying a BenQ XL2420Z and a Corsair K70 (NON RGB AS ITS SUCH A GIMMICK) Redstone:i7-4770 / Z97 / GTX 980 / Corsair 16GB / H90 / 400C / Antec EDGE / Neutron GTX240 / Intel 240Gb / WD 2TB / BenQ XL24 Obsidian: MSI GE60 2PE i7-4700HQ / 860M / 12GB / WE 1TB / m.Sata 256gb/Elagto USB HD Capture CardRazer Deathadder Chroma / Razer Blackwidow TE Chroma / Kingston Cloud2's / Sennheiser 429 / Logitech Z333 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corsair and Ducky are both great brands, just Ducky has better build quality by a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well again Ducky doesn't exist in SA, and out postal survice is crippled, importing into SA is just not a option. I ended up Buying the Quickfire Pro, Has the exact same Cherry mx switches as the K70 1/3 the price and has backight, Next up 24" samsung sold..
