Title: Blackweb Centaur Review?
Post by: Rojuro on Sun, 14 June 2015, 11:59:00
Was just browsing around at the local Wally-World and came across this keyboard. It's only $40, so I'm curious whether it's worth buying. Looks to be mechanical and it looks fairly decent. I'm just not wanting to buy without knowing whether it's a piece of crap or not. Any advice is appreciated.

19 anti-ghosting keys allow you to press 19 keys at once to execute complex moves with precision

Not mechanical, but is it worth getting?

So I've heard some of the features, but still not an answer to the question.  Is this keyboard worth getting?

More than likely not. Buy cheap, buy twice. Those l33t gaming looking boards are never worth very much.

For most here, simply because it is domes, nobody cares. So basically: inherently no.
