Those jacked up modifier sizes, though.

I know! That really annoys me. It was my first mechanical kb, love the looks but it's been shelved for so long. I learned I'm not a Cherry Red fan, if it had a standard bottom row layout I would have soldered something else in a long time ago. Maybe one day I'll sell it.

Is the TKL version fully mechanical? I have the K60 (hand-me-down from a friend who also got it as a hand-me-down), and the nav cluster, F keys, and Esc key are all rubber dome. It's a weird, annoying compromise that I don't understand.

Yes the K65 I own is all Cherry MX Reds. No rubber domes. I'm not including the media buttons on top, those are not mechanical.

Now that's a good deal, you can barely buy genuine mx reds for that price.
