I describe it as a middlin' mechanical keyboard. At $50 it's only worth picking up if you want a NIB mechanical keyboard without shelling out for a Das, and even then it gets good competition from iOne and Adesso. But for $20? For these guys this is the best starting place for mechanical keyboards, and with any luck some of them will like it enough to get better boards and increase demand and drive prices down. Hell, if Manyak and I start praising the Model M enough we might even drive up sales of Unicomp boards and delay their inevitable bankruptcy by a month or two.
