If this is absolutely no good, please don't jump down my throat... I'm just drawing it to your attention on the chance it's worth your time.

ViewSonic KU520 Mechanical Keyboard 87 Backlit Black Switch White

3 available as of this posting, $25.63 w/free shipping








Brushed aluminum case, looks like Kailh switches... How can these be as cheap as RD boards?

My guess is they just had them rebranded.

If the case is actually aluminum, it might be worth the money for reuse.

The same seller also has it in black http://www.ebay.com/itm/ViewSonic-KU520-Mechanical-Keyboard-87-Backlit-Black-Switch-Black-/401081848993?hash=item5d625754a1 which I think looks better and is also $10 more....
Real men do it with a keyboard.
