You've got options though:

SteelSeries 6Gv2 (Cherry MX-Blacks, argued as the best for gaming switches. So-so for typing, not much different than rubber domes in terms of feel besides they are smoother. Good build quality.)
Rosewill RK-9000 (Cherry MX-Blue switches, good for typing, arguably best build quality, NKRO with purple USB-PS/2 adapter.)
Razer Black Widow (Cherry MX-Blues, good for typing. Only decent build quality.)
Unicomp Customizer 104/105 (equal to the Rosewill in build quality in my eyes.) (Buckling Springs, best for typing)
Addesso MKB-135B (Cherry MX-Blues, good for typing. Same build quality as Razer though it's NRKO)

There's also the Xarmor U9BL which comes with a 7 Button, 2400 DPI Lazer mouse. But it's $130
Don't forget the PLU ML-87, that I mentioned buying from China in this post. You can get it with blues, blacks, or browns, and it should run you something like $77 plus shipping. No NKRO, but it has a pretty good matrix around WASD for gaming. They've got versions with key legends, and in black, if that's more your thing. It's probably the cheapest option if you're looking for browns, depending on your shipping method you should be able to come in around $100.

I thought they were 6KRO USB, NKRO PS/2?

The ML-87? Sadly no, it's definitely 2KRO... I think someone mistranslated something, I thought I read that it was NKRO before I ordered, and then saw another post about it mentioning the 2KRO.

Offhand, ASQ, ASZ, SDE, SDC, WDE, WAQ, WAZ, WDC, W/A/Tab, W/A/`, W/A/Esc, W/A/7, W/A/9, Left/Up/Right, and Left/Down/Right all fail. Basically every other combination of any two WASD and any one other key work, if it's not listed above. Seems like a really weird matrix that blocks 7 and 9 with WA, but no other numbers... W/A/Tab and the arrow keys are the only block combos I've actually run into while gaming, though.

Arrived today as promised. I'm a little disappointed. For the price, I thought it would be gold plated.





It's true that it isn't really black. It actually matches the Corsair Graphite 600T case pretty well. The packaging was minimal.


With lighting on the lowest level.

I really dislike the font and the obnoxious branding on the space bar.
