No but seriously... 6KRO is a gimmick... the real question is WHICH 6 keys it allows you to press at once. Most are limited (if they're true 6KRO) to 2 modifiers and 4 letters. AKA, if you hold shift and control by awkwardly positioning your pinky, odds are the other keys won't work properly.

You forget. You have your right hand on the mouse, all 5 fingers of your left hand AND your face! Now you need NKRO.

Looking at it, it looks like someone else picked up Xarmor's keyboards. They are pretty well regarded last time I checked. They went out of business, right? If that's the same one it should be a pretty good option. Only piece of info missing is if the keys are PCB or plate mounted. It makes a bit of a difference but I dunno that it's really worth fretting over.
