This is essentially the industrial version of the Deck Ice. Better so, since it doesn't have that fugly font all the Deck keycaps have. You'll need a converter if your computer doesn't have PS2, and probably a USB extension cord too by the looks of the cable length.


Here's the official info packet if you are unfamiliar:

These are new. Used ones have been as low as $10 shipped in the past.

Please note that the BL82 has 2KRO + modifiers (there are diodes on the PCB for only the mods) There are two different "styles" of keycaps. One has slightly larger font. These appear to be the smaller font. Both fonts are nice.

Imo nkro is heavily overrated. Everybody hobbles their nkro keyboards by plugging them into usb ports anyway.

NKRO may be overrated but 2KRO is noticable
