That board looks excellent. I spent years on a the cheapest of keyboards, never believed in the gaming keyboard hype.

But I got a Logitech G15 for $40 recently. So we'll see how that goes.

I'm tempted to give this one a shot.
 
Looks very simple and cheap, if you don't mind the feel of the keyboard and the design you may as well purchase that instead of something more expensive and use the saved money for something you thing would be a bit more valuable to you.

People who spend lots on keyboards either really dig the feel of a mechanical switch or fall for the gimmicks Logitech and other brands offer... If you don't care much for either you should be fine.
 
I've used basic Microsoft keyboards for about 10 years now. My last one is still kicking after 8 years, I just retired it to spare status because I wanted a change. Now using a MS Digital Media 3000 corded keyboard, the shorter keys made a huge difference, much more comfortable to type/game on. Cost me less than $30cdn, I see it at Newegg for $20usd. Love it so much I bought a second one for my office computer.

I've been thinking about getting a mechanical keyboard though, something with Cherry MX browns. Going to visit my parents this weekend though, see if there's an old buckling spring keyboard in storage to muck around with, lol.

edit: Every low-end Logitech keyboard I've used has annoyed me. I don't know how their higher end boards are though, too rich for my blood for a membrane keyboard with gimmicks.
 
Other than the huge reverse L-shaped enter key and tiny delete key, it looks like a great keyboard for the price.
 
thanks for this!, i need a nice cheap "backup" keyboard just in case since i've been experienting w/ the pcb of what i had lying around.
 
Also would be good to fix BIOSes that have USB support off by default. Well if someone doesn't have a USB to PS/2 adapter that is.
 
Was definitely considering this keyboard since its so cheap and offers the style I've been used to for many years. Not only that, its even cheaper if paired with that cheapo throw-away mouse combo and a coupon code (PAX2010RW15). Would make a great backup or keyboard for a secondary computer.

+1. Nothing like hearing those springs clicking away.

+1. You will never go back! Something with Cherry Brown switches would work well (Das Keyboard Model S Professional Silent). The new Razor could also be nice (Cherry Blue switches).
