It is one of the better cheap keyboards. The only thing that you have to live with is the ugly logo.

many people have a usb problem with this keyboard, and it transforms the keyboard into a stone.

I bought one recently and haven't had any of the issues that people have said it has. The USB problem isn't as common as people have made it out to be and is rather easily fixed by just opening the case are reinforcing the UBS connector, in fact as long as you are careful the board shouldn't even get this problem. I have begun to believe most of the criticism it has received is due to the McRip Effect. Also on another note the logo is actually a lot smaller than it looks like it is on the website.

McRip effect only apply to language. You don't need to know what it is, because everyone on Geekhack is using it wrong.
