Thanks All!
@Furuya - Yeah it was weird, I was basically looking for an official costart page like that during my entire search and during all of my research. And then I found it when I wasn't really even looking anymore, just on a whim. Notice if you go to the top menu of their site you can click to see all their models. Das is pretty obvious haha.
@Flying4Pandas - It was $140 on Newegg. I don't think i'll get the $30 rebate that was going. Day before I bought it it was 9.99 off and last day of the $30 rebate. The day after I bought it was the first day of the new $30 rebate and no longer on sale.
@Lunartuna - First of all, great name. I can tell this is a pretty solid piece of handiwork. I've never had a mechanical keyboard before but I can just tell this is a relatively solid keyboard even with nothing to compare it to. I haven't gone underneath too much just yet, took off a few keycaps. No matter what new toy I get I like to play with it in "Box-Mode" aka Stock for at least 2 weeks so that I have a baseline. I may end up doing some serious modding down the road so I'm very interested to see different qualities. Good to know some perspective so I don't spoil myself ;-).
Re: Dampeners.. yeah I'll try it out, they're not
too expensive, seems like you can re-use them on a different board no problem, and also it's obviously extremely low risk. I still bottom out more than I should, but I've had the board for less than a week and I'm still getting used to where the actuation point really is. Gotta fly like a butterfly and sting like a bee with this bad boy :-)
