Its nice, a little creaky, but still very well built. The lasered keys are really nice.

I'm considering one of these, used, as a shortcut/macro 'board for Adobe Ps3.  A friend of mine who's a concessionaire for AAFES is looking at a NIB one from this same seller to help automate some of her transactions;  I told her, buy a used one.  She :o  a used keyboard?!  Gross!  :loco:

Considering that most keyboards are best considered consumable...
Sometimes I really understand an aversion to used keyboards, though.

These use cherry brown switches correct?

Anyone know the actuation force on these switches, are they low like the filco cherry brown tactile touch line?

Thanks in adavance!!

They have the same actuation force as any other Cherry brown switch keyboards do.

This looks like a very similar model, not sure about the switch type, though:
