So yesterday i ordered a keyboard that looked pretty cool and since it was from steelseries i thougt it can't be that bad. Note that i was looking for a keyboard on a 20Eur(23USD) budget. I got the SteelSeries Apex 350 (3 in stock). So today i was casualy browsing youtube when i saw a steelseries apex video:

I said to myself -cool i'm gonna get something a lot simular

And that's when i realized that Linus never reviews cheap stuff (atleast in my budget range) so i looked up the SteelSeries Apex 350 on amazon and this is what i found 41662a4d8f897da63ba3125e4e878e59.png

So i was preety suprised when i saw the price when i only paid 9.28Eur +0.99 shipping (that's 11.89USD) 

Also after i checked the listing again and the keyboard was removed.

Does anyone know more about the keyboard and why it would be priced so cheap?

My guess is that it was an error.

Could have been a typo or a scam. We don't know more.

The video is from 2013. They're probably just trying to get rid of old stuff in the warehouse. If so, good for you! :D
