Hahahaha.

This is happening, I promised it and said there was no MOQ, thus there is no MOQ.

We only have about 5 orders I think but that is fine.

MOZ are you positive that these are no counterfeit, that they are new, and not pulled out of a dumpster?

If yes, then I will be placing an order.

Trust me, this is the retail price, you can google it, it is just that you guys have been ripped off from ebay sellers so far.

Well right now this is the cheapest option for new full size blue board to harvest for sure, but i wish the price was a little lower, in the US amazon warehouse deals are very competitive to this price if you are looking for a board to harvest.

Anyways,

If your new to desoldering this is also a great board because you really dont have to worry about the PCB, if you want to do it quick you turn a high-wattage iron to max and beast-mode that thing and make it a work out and then chuck the remains in a dumpster.....er i mean approved recycling center  :rolleyes:

GBs, or "Group Buys" are how it starts. Look at me, thirty some posts and we won't mention how much drool I've had to wipe up while looking over the classifieds section.

Only in for this and another, but ... this is how it starts.

Hello MOZ, i am from India too and i am looking to buy this keyboard [from flipkart - the PS/2 version is not available in my area :( but the USB version is there]
Do you recommend this for gaming ?

1.Is there any difference between the PS/2 and USB version of it?
2.I heard that USB version has ghosting issues and doesnt support NKRO but the PS/2 does?
3.Can i use USB to PS/2 adapter [the ones available of 50rs] to remove the ghosting/keyblocking problems?

I play game called gunz where i need to perform many combos with many keys pressed at once

Can you tell me the USB version can simultaneously press how many keys i.e X-KRO ?

I don't think this keyboard is actually recommenced for use, thats why people are buying it too take apart.
unless they have some unforeseeable downside (like they're actually made of cream cheese cunningly disguised as ABS)

If I recall it is 2KRO only.
For gaming you do want the PS/2 version, that being said I wouldn't recommend the keyboard. I would suggest you get the QFR in a switch of your choice, as it is the only viable option easily available in India. The other thing for you to do is you can get a keyboard from one of the online vendors or classifieds here on GH.

Thanks for the input. After knowing that it's only 2KRO [please confirm it once] i dont think it will be advisable for me :(
I want a good gaming keyboard under RS 2500 [I also type a LOT]
Preferably from flipkart [QFR is not available on Flipkart and also it's more expensive than 2500?]
Can you suggest me some keyboard which meets the above criteria ? :)

It arrived. Now I play "folgers instant" as I've swapped out my wife's eMachine membrane keyboard for this one. New keyboard's floorspace is larger but otherwise the layout is the same. Let's watch as she writes her magazine articles, shall we?

Well, I've been typing on a monoprice "gaming" keyboard with blues for awhile -- substatially similar except the monoprice has more metal holding it in place.

Not a bad keyboard, nothing to write home about -- but the missus -- she noticed within three keystrokes, and called me in to explain what had changed. We spent half an hour talking about the things she could do from this point, to make her keyboard more personalized (keycaps, different switches, why I didn't just buy one of these for myself instead of soldering a teensy and grumbling when it didn't immediately work).

She's keeping it. No cheap blues for me :-| but she can appreciate why I care so much about what I type on, so I'm quite happy to have it.
