I’m not fairly positive how Mountain’s doing it, however the firm’s saved the Everest 60 at simply $30 at Amazon all by way of December and now into the brand new yr. That’s $10 cheaper than it was throughout Black Friday, and tons cheaper than it was going for earlier than then. Seriously, simply have a look at the value historical past—this factor used to retail for $150 after which hovered round $80–$90 for some time. Now it is $30, and that is a real cut price.
Of course, the value of one thing solely issues if it is value shopping for within the first place. And the Mountain Everest 60 definitely is. It has just about every part a gamer would need—for a small board, at the very least—and feels surprisingly premium for its worth. Just ask our Dave James, who scored it a mighty 93% in his Mountain Everest 60 assessment.
Apart from its thickity-thockety goodness, although, one of many primary attracts to the Everest 60 is that it types a part of the modular Everest system. Ie, you’ll be able to slap on completely different add-ons which connect magnetically, resembling a numpad (which may even go on the left-hand facet, leaving you extra room on your mouse and liberating up your proper hand).
We are solely speaking a few 60% keyboard format, although, which implies the arrow buttons are smushed up and there are barely any residence buttons. But, once more, there’s the modularity.
And it is $30. That’s the value of a takeout meal for a completely lubed, dampened, RGB-lit, finely tuned typing expertise. We have been ranting and raving over it when it was $40 towards the top of final yr, so at $30 it is one of many best suggestions to make. The solely actual draw back is its Base Camp software program, which Dave discovered to be slightly temperamental, however that does not detract a lot from what counts, which is the keyboard itself.
Just be ready that you just may find yourself spending greater than the preliminary $30 down the road as a result of it may be onerous to withstand the add-on numpad, wrist relaxation, and media dock that flip it into the Mountain Everest Max.
