Title: Cheap SIIG on Newegg

$69.99, not bad at all. What are the switches used though? I'm guessing either MX blues or fake Alps. If it has MX switches this may be a bit of a steal.

Tiny backspace key, though. Damn, that would be really cool otherwise.

It's an OEM of DSI ASK-6600 which I'm typing on right now.
It's a nice clicky ALPS keyboard with an oddly shallow space bar.
The DSI version is usually cheaper than the SIIG one, but this price is good for the SIIG one and with SIIG you get the five-year warranty.
