JonAngryHey, thanks for the heads up! I fixed the title so it fits better and I added another price drop after talking with our supplier at Gigabyte.
Essentially, there's been a huge demand for high end gaming mice in the Massdrop polls, and I wanted to get the Aivia Krypton available to everyone since it is an excellent mouse. The Osmium is also an incredibly feature complete keyboard and the supplier at Gigabyte wanted to know if we could do a bundle instead of a standalone product.

AndrewLekashmanThat's unfortunate, lots of demand for having keyboards and mice as far as I can see, but it's pretty rare to need or want both at the same time. I would have seriously considered the keyboard on it's own but I have no need for the mouse.

First, lets look at the total: 160 + 11 = 171 which is actually tied with getting the keyboard on amazon http://amzn.com/B008U6SRYW and the mouse on newegg http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16826146028. You don't even have to deal with ebay to tie the price on this one. Additionally, going that route you'd get them in 3 days, as opposed to 2 weeks to a month.
Second, you can actually buy them separately that way meaning you can pick the one you actually want if you don't want both _and you don't even have to pay extra for it_. This means that these have been bundled to produce no savings, so why bundle them?
Third, is anyone even looking for Gigabyte gaming peripheals? I like to think my head is decently in the peripheal market, I own more mechanical keyboards than I have hands, and I have not heard of this offering. So not only is something being offered with no savings, it's something that would have very limited appeal even if there WERE savings.
Slight concession: if it hits the lowest drop point you can save $5 (and only be out additional _weeks_ of delivery time). Whee.
EDIT: Also, your title is too long and displaces the Description link box.
