Best time to buy mechanical keyboards — without falling for a fake discount

Keyboard “deals” often bounce a price up then back down. Here’s when the real drops happen and how to spot the fake ones.

When mechanical keyboards tend to be cheapest

Genuine lows cluster at Prime Day and Black Friday, and when a brand releases a new switch or layout, dropping the outgoing model.

How to tell a real deal from a fake one

22%
of this week’s advertised Amazon “deals” weren’t genuinely below their usual price — a discount off an inflated or invented “was”. See the Fake Deal Index →

A small, permanent “discount” usually just is the everyday price. Check the current price against its own history before assuming it’s a deal.

The honest signal is simple: is the current price genuinely low against the item’s own 12-month history — or just below a made-up list price? Paste any product and we’ll tell you straight: BUY, WAIT, SKIP or FAIR.
