Title: Recieved my Data 911 keyboard!
Post by: TheFlyingRaccoon on Thu, 30 May 2013, 18:47:27
Recently bought a Data 911 keyboard for $23 shipped on ebay. Link: (http://www.ebay.com/itm/Data-911-PS-2-Backlit-Keyboard-P-N-M2C-TG3-TP-for-MDS2000-system-/281111002821?pt=BI_Security_Fire_Protection&hash=item4173857ec5)

Black switches but they feel more like reds.

Nice red leds

Backlight off
Freaking amazing board for $23. The trackpad is too small but I can see it useful for htpcs. Board is super solid and is made from thick plastic and metal backplate.

That thing is awesome. Did yours come with a splash guard? I really like using this thing, even the track pad. It feels like I'm using a laptop with a mechanical keyboard.

Yes mine came with the most disgusting splash guard ever. It was like caked in ****. Actually it's one of the reasons I took the whole thing apart. That and my left arrow key didn't work.
