How come the MKB-135B isn't recommended more often over the Blackwidow? Comparable price, and it has NKRO and USB and audio passthrough.
Though the Arial font sucks and would drive me nuts (I can't stand bad typography on keyboards)

I love mine- the audio jacks are becoming indispensable to me. I'm still torn between a Filco or Rosewill and another one of these just because I think I'd miss that convenience now. And I'm constantly using the volume and mute keys as well. I think she definitely deserves a little love, but I can't compare to others cause she's the only cherry blue board I got (...right now. This keyboard thing is becoming a real problem addiction for me. I couldn't stop myself from buying another fk-5001 though I REALLY didn't need another one. Help me!)

The MK-135b feels very cheap compared to a filco. I bought one at the local Microcenter and took it back. The keys themselves feel fine- they're blues after all, but it can't compare to the more expensive filco.

The one I had felt cheap. Stabilizers sucked, cheap plastics, and so on. I returned it shortly after getting it. The Blackwidow is much better built all around.
