They are mechanical, but the build quality supposedly sucks and the switches are mediocre.

It doesn't seem that Apple's too into ergonomic keyboards anymore.

$40 seems like a reasonable price. Those things aren't M15's...

Those are pretty cool, my friend has one and it's not really all that great though, the keys are kind of rough to press.

They aren't the usual Alps CM switches, some lesser one.

From what I see here, I'll infer that those keyboards are pieces of crapple.

unless it's lightly used or newish then yeah I think that would be a safe assumption but still a cool keyboard if you don't want a big one for your mac
