Title: Happy Hacking Keyboard Lite 2 - £20 Good deal?
Post by: Jeci on Sun, 22 July 2012, 07:39:44: Hey,

I know of the Happy Hacker keyboards and their reputation, but for £20 this seems a little on the cheap side, too good to be true almost is it worth it?

the exact keyboard is:

Cheers in advance,

Cheers!

Post by: Rafen on Sun, 22 July 2012, 07:47:25: Yeah, this is not the Topre version, its the cheap "rubberdome" version that's not really worth the money in my mind. I would rather buy a cherry mx board for that kind of cash.

Here is a link to the topre version on that site:
