The Chilkey Slice75 HE is a pre-built 75% Hall effect gaming keyboard with enthusiast features, like an aluminium case, cork sound damping materials, a gasket mount design, and double-shot PBT keycaps. It also features 8K polling with a 32 kHz scan rate, if you think that’s important in a keyboard. Between December 15 and 25, any Chilkey Slice75 HE buyers in the US will be able to get a free mechanical keyboard and a free desk mat or artisan keycap set alongside a 15% discount.
The combination of the Christmas free keyboard deal and the festive “MERRY15” discount code, the total price for two keyboards and cute animal- or Christmas-themed desk mat or artisan keycap set amount to just $169.15. Ordinarily, the Slice75 costs $199.99, and the free wireless mechanical keyboard that Chilkey is giving away, the Foxy65, comes in at $95, making the deal quite an impressive value, especially since the Foxy65 can be had with either tactile or linear switches.
The deal is only valid for buyers of the Chilkey Slice75 HE equipped with the Gateron Magnetic Jade Pro switches, which are some of the best magnetic switches we’ve tested (see our in-depth review of the Iqunix EZ63 for more details), given their clean sound signature, smooth typing feel, and low wobble. The Slice75 HE is obviously also compatible with other magnetic switches, so if you want to test something like the Gateron Magnetic Jade Emerald tactile switches (curr. $79.99 for 90 switches on Amazon), that’s an option.
