Well depending on where you at in the world, you can often get QFR's for $55-$65.

And I've not seen a whole lot of people post about their gaming experiences on black alps xm switches.

QFR costs here around 110$
and when i tried getting one ordering one from like amazon costs 50$ just for the shipping.
so im searching ebay and chinese websites for a decent keyboard.

No, it's only $64 which is a really nice price for a board.  :D

Most of the DK1087 series aren't too well received.  Like people said you're better off finding a QFR somewhere.

Where are you located at?  If you can give us your rough location then we can suggest places that might ship to you cheaper.

I just snagged this board myself, really love it for the price. Just ordered some PBT Keycaps from Banggood and they get here in a week. :)
