A great price for a Will-approved mechanical keyboard.
It’s rare to see discounts on compact keyboards, and rare to see discount on wireless keyboards, but today we’re got a cracker on a mechanical keyboard that is both compact and wireless. It’s the Cooler Master SK622, a gaming-optimised 60% design that offers low profile switches, a UK layout (with optional RGB backlighting) and the flexibility of wired (USB-C), Bluetooth and lower-latency 2.4GHz wireless.
The CM SK622 retailed for over £100 back in the day, but now it’s available for half-price: £49.98. That’s an awesome deal for any mechanical keyboard, much less one from a name brand with wireless connectivity!

I’m a big fan of these Cooler Master keyboards, having testing a fair few over the years - if not this exact model. Their wireless connectivity is reliable, the keyboards themselves are well made, and being mechanical you can swap out the keycaps, resolder broken switches and generally have a keyboard that can last for decades - which is nice.
You also get the ability to press as many keys on the keyboard as you want simultaneously and have them recognised - at least when wired; over wireless theminimumis having six keys recognised at the same time which is plenty for most single-player use cases.
One thing worth knowing about the SK622 is based around its 60% design, which means that a lot of extra keys are relegated to a Function layer. This means that you can still press keys that are rarely used in games (eg Fn + 5 to get F5), although it’s not quite as convenient.
The advantage to this isn’t necessarily obvious - yes, you get a more portable keyboard, but more importantly it also changes the way you position your arms. Instead of keeping your mouse hand out wide as with a full-size keyboard, you can keep your arm more in line with your body, reducing the strain on it. Combine this with a vertical mouse and you can see a huge increase in comfort - pretty cool stuff.
