iOne Scorpius M10, ABS M1 <<< NOT MADE ANYMORE?

[M4TE]

So I'm considering getting a mechanical keyboard, and I'm not too worried about the switches because it's mostly for gaming. Right now when I'm gaming, I use my laptop keyboard, and an external monitor. This makes me have to pull down my laptop screen so I can see the external screen. So I'm looking for a mechanical keyboard that is affordable for a 15 year old.

I've seen the models iOne Scorpius M10 and ABS M1 and they look perfect for me, but the problem is, is that I cannot find them anywhere! I also don't want an old PS/2 mechanical keyboard because of the PS/2 to USB adapter problem. I bought a cheap 5 dollar adapter and tried it with one of my old ps/2 keyboards and it was a disaster. (In-game "Counter Strike 1.6, when I press W to go foward then pressed A to go left, the foward button would stop moving) I'm more than likely sure it was the adapter, so I don't really want to get a keyboard with only ps/2 connection.

Thanks for your help

Amazon has it, but if I were you I'd look for an U9 U9 plus.

They are newer models, better built, and u9 plus may have an hidden gift

No problem with the (included) PS2 adapter. It just works (if needed)

Thanks for the help, but it looks like the U9 is in the $90 plus pricerange which is too high. Any other suggestions? I really wish I snagged the ABS M1 when it was 20 dollars, when I saw it, it blew my mind. Any other keyboard (USB prefered) that can offer me that price? Or any mechanical keyboard from 0-60 dollars

Are you from Europe or US, it's a detail that matters a lot when the budget is limited.

I'm from Canada unfortunatly. For some reason, I can never find anything in Canada

Try a different PS/2 to USB adapter, seriously.  I haven't run across this problem with the "Blue Cube" (look it up on these forums).  It will open up a world of great classic keyboards without causing issues while gaming.

Thanks "The Solutor" for taking your time to help. The 38 dollar is a nice price but it gives no detail which makes me hesitant.

The "blue cube" is a good idea, but I can't seem to find any Canadian sellers. Maybe I'm just not looking in the right places.
If the "blue cube" adapter does not glitch like the one I have than that would be great. I've tried 3 ps/2 keyboards with the rubber dome and all 3 did the same thing with the adapter. (forgets I'm holding down W when I press a different button)
