I believe this is the non-backlit version of the U9BLs. I'm not sure if anything else is different. It's a good deal for Browns; the only other sub-$100 option is the Das Keyboard with education discount.

Pretty sure this one is not an NKRO (it fails some 2kro from what I have heard) board like the U9BL-S, which is a pretty big difference for gamers

If that's the case then this board isn't worth it. 6KRO is what you want in a gaming keyboard. NKRO is necessary only if your name is Dr. Octopus.
