But oldschool rubber domes were nicer. 2 euros is nothing, even for rubber dome, so why not try? But yeah, won't be anything more than rubber dome.

True! But it doesn't look too oldschool to me. Looks like a board from the early 2000s perhaps?

Yeah, then not worth it.

On unrelated note, that website is rom my country. Op, t's unlikely that you will find too ineresting boards from local shops. Best I found was a coolermaster xt for like 90 euros. Right now I got sweet KBP V60 from massdrop for about $91, so a better deal.

I have one. Or had, I seem to have lost it/chucked it out.

As far as rubber dome keyboards go, it's not bad. Not the best, but not bad at all.

Post by: Snowdog993 on Wed, 26 August 2015, 11:32:24: I have had several of them. They are rubberdome keyboards. They are not too bad for what they are.
It is definitely not a "clacker" compared to my Model M's. Like night and day.

Post by: Touch_It on Wed, 26 August 2015, 13:52:10: Use these daily. As everyone has said they are rubber dome. They work and don't feel terrible, but I would never buy one, and wouldn't even take one for free.

Post by: fohat.digs on Wed, 26 August 2015, 19:01:31: I had one and gave it away. Those are pretty reliable boards, though.

There is one at my local Office Depot bolted down to the counter for customers to use, so it gets treated poorly and keeps on ticking.
