Ah damn, it isn't, it's a new form of membrane keyboard. Reviews say it feels near the same as mechanical though. Otherwise just the RED led ones at 1.2k about. Can't find anything at R1k really.

Starts at 40 seconds.

The site links it as 140 dollars, was it the last display model or something?

Nope. It was just there. I wanted to get the black one that's almost the same as the white one but bf wanted this one. Maybe check matrix warehouse, you might get lucky like we did :)

Yea its a new import aimed at the low end market.
Must say build feels solid and I swear it feels heavier than my Chroma V2, although its not.

Only way to make up your mind is to read & watch review after review, and compare a few you have in mind.
 
I've had the CM Storm QuickFire XT Cherry Red for the last couple years. I haven't exactly been gentle with it both in my gaming and my move. Still works as well as the day I got it.

They're around for R1300 +-

They also have,

If you know of anybody that can buy from rectron find out how much they can get the Gigabyte Force K83 & Force K85 for, no idea how good they are though but it should be close to your budget I think.
