$35-37 shipped for a wired keyboard, aluminum. Not bad if you really want a functional paperweight, probably be good for a work computer to avoid those nasty Dell keyboards.

Switches aren't bad, but spend $30 on some new ones.

turns out this isn't hotswap. fuggedit

Thank you - yeah, probably not anywhere worth a hundred bucks, but figured it was better than anything else around $30?

Oh absolutely worth posting. It's still decent, and at that price if you're in need of a wired only board, you could do much worse. I think these are QMK/VIA compatible too, which is awesome. Aesthetically and sonically these are challenged out of the box but hey the whole game is about modding anyway. šŸ˜…

I was checking and couldn't find any mention of qmk/via compatibility for this specific keyboard.

The elitist nonsense around keyboards never fails to amuse me. Switches and keyboard itself are great for someone looking for a $35 keyboard.

Can't beat this deal for solid keycaps, switches and a board. You'd pay more than $29 dollars so each one of those three by themselves. Once someone has a few sets, they can swap out based on preference for a customized look and feel. Great beginner boards.

This would be useful except this isn't hot swappable

Absurdly low price for a really good mechanical keyboard.
Replacing my short-lived Drop CSTM80 with this one. Some keys on the CSTM80 with Brown switches stopped working after only a year.

I love tactile mechanicals and have never swapped any on my 5+ keyboards. Its imo a pro feature that not everyone needs especially at this price point.
