Quoted from OP:
Quote:
If you're looking for a bang-for-your-buck keyboard for gaming, look no further. The key feel isn't the greatest, but you won't find a better mechanical board for gaming at this price. But if typing feel is important and you are unsure about how all these different switches feel, just skip this board and read on.

Link: Newegg
Price: $44
Switch Type: Black Alps Copies
Key feel: Moderate
Tactile feel: Light Tactile Feedback
Noise: Clacky when bottoming out keys, but not too loud
Rollover: 6-key + modifiers, but rumors say it's not implemented well
Key Delay: Untested
Key travel: Unknown
Typing: 7/10
There's not much to say about this keyboard when it comes to typing. It's just a basic board and doesn't stand out in any area.
Gaming: 9/10
There's only one reason it doesn't get a full score, which is because it's not full NKRO.


I'd say go for it.

This thread inspired me to hook up an old dell mech keyboard , or so I think it's mechanical. Either way it's the old style with the big blocky keys and I like it much more, but I will still use my razer, just wanted to go back to old times

Most would recommend a Filco, or Scorpius M10 over this ABS, but then again, I don't there has been that much familiarity with that particular 'board.

Except even the cheapest Filco is $80 while this one is $45. So it comes down to how much you can afford to spend and how much you may or may not like other switches.

Well at least they are pretty decent rubber domes, they feel better than Logitech's that's for sure!

Yeah what you're looking for are the G80 boards. They have the standard MX switches that we keep talking about.

The MY switches are also mechanical, but a bit different. Instead of there being contacts within the switch, pressing the key sends a hammer onto a membrane sheet, activating the letter (kind of like Buckling Springs, but the mechanics are different).

And the ML switches are mechanical, but they are low-travel (2mm instead of 4mm). Those boards are also smaller though, so using them as a main keyboard isn't really comfortable.
