Seems like a reasonably good deal. I like that it looks like a normal professional keyboard (most cheap mech keyboards have silly "sci-fi" fonts and austentacious designs which some random marketing person thinks will appeal to teenage gamers, but generally just look silly to me. To each their own, I guess).
This one has brown switches, which is generally viewed as a really good compromise for people who want something a little quieter (not silent, but also not remarkably loud) but still feel much better to type on.
Monoprice is a pretty dependable budget brand for a wide variety of products.
Reviews on these keyboards seem mixed, but that seems to be mostly from a sparsity of reviews. Most negative reviews seem to be based on it being loud. Mechanical keyboards are never silent, which is kind of the point for many people, but not everyone researches before buying so it's pretty typical to see negative reviews complaining about the noise of any mech keyboard.
Some reviews complain about a squeaky sound from the space bar. To me, that falls under the category of "I am shocked, shocked to find that this $25 keyboard isn't exactly the same as a $150 keyboard." It's silly to expect something at this price to be absolutely perfect, so a squeaky spacebar seems like a reasonable tradeoff (which most people would probably bever notice) and something you'd likely find on other budget mech keyboards in the $40-$60 range.

Browns are quieter than most other mech keys but it is going to make noise.
It's not quiet by any means, but also not the loudest around. I've used it around others at work without any foul looks.
Edit: Im just asking. Not at all trying to be helpful.

Oh thanks. I thought "tenkyless" was already an abbreviated version of something.
Nope. I use the razer orbweaver and love the software and hardware, even though I'm not the biggest razer fan. I only use my keyboard for Starcraft but for almost all other games I prefer the mechanical keypad
