this thing? 30bucks for cherry blues is pretty much 1/3 of normal average for a regular 104 cherry blue keyboard (you'll know soon enough when we say cherry, we're talking about the switch itself).
what games is it for? if it is game intensive i'd find out more about nkro or even if it has "anti-ghosting" for the WASD cluster, but being that the review i linked was from 2004, i doubt it, still might have good enough controller for games, otherwise cherry blues... 30bucks sounds awesome.

Post by: mian2222 on Sat, 15 October 2011, 15:21:39: I never found an issue with or without nkro. But I don't game super seriously, just for fun. Back when I was playing CS, I never had an issue with pressing more than 2 buttons at once. I think it should be fine. It's cheap anyways, so if you don't like it at least it didn't cost you a lot.

I've said this before: I think if you're any good at fps, it makes a difference.
It allows you to strafe while crouching/jumping at the same time much more fluidly (without having to keep tapping).
