turtle beach headsets are grade A garbage though. I would beware of the build quality of this board... but I can't say whether this board is actually good or not since I've never used it (did see it in store)

Not very pretty but it is cheap. Perhaps a good starting point for someone curious about clicky Cherry switches.

I have seen people compare these to the QFR. Definitely a budget board, but not a bad budget board by any means. Genuine Cherry too, seems like a winner at $50 brand new.

Hmmm... yes. This OEM "gets around" for sure.
