Well I think I should add something about that steel series keyboard. It have a separate gamepad so if you get used to this keyboard then out would be hard for you to move to other keyboard while with other keyboard this is not a problem at all.

Well, if you consider local market you will see some other shops in Ganesh avenue will sell that keyboard at about same price tag quoted by MD. Its competition. ;)
We should not compare online prices with the prices in local market. Shall we?

Hi all,

sorry to leave you out discussing here while i went away for some shopping in the meanwhile...have ordered a hell lot of stuff :grin: received some of them, awaiting delivery of others :smile:


regarding the KB, MD computers doesnt have merc stealth in stock. i had checked with them sometime back. available only on order @ 5200/- + taxes. also checked with faxtel, the national distributor of steelseries products. not readily available. price 5.2k.

then one of my friends pointed to me a listing of the KB on bigadda.com (known for its crappy delivery system, but ofcourse i didnt knew about this at the time of ordering. too excited !) deal was very sweet. placed order for ~4.25k. now awaiting delivery with fingers crossed :)

@ gameranand

i made a choice for this KB (G510 available absolutely nowhere) esp due to its bright backlighting & separate gaming keys. after a long time of gaming on consoles, i was finding the W, A, S, D and other keys a lil difficult to adjust to, and found that this dedicated key-set for FPSes might be a saviour for me ! lets see...

they updated their website on saturday (it was down for some time in the morning/noon that day). must've refreshed their stocks. even DA black edition went out of stock a while after i placed my order (thankfully i received it just 2 days back), and the G110 & G510 were both out of stock when i was to place my order. nevermind. i am having some issue regarding my paid amount being blocked at ICICI gateway on bigadda. if it gets resolved, good. if not, am gonna grab this G510 at the earliest :)
