Someone buy this!
« on: Sun, 21 November 2010, 18:52:18 »
http://cgi.ebay.com/Keytronic-Keyboard-KT400U2-/180584012043?pt=PCA_Mice_Trackballs&hash=item2a0ba5590b#ht_500wt_1156

Brand new Keytronic KT400U2 for 8.25 and free shipping. The finest rubber domes (no) money can buy. Someone buy this and review it. It would be interesting to see what 8 bucks can get you.

I didn't buy one, I'm more broke than Kohan's M10. And yes, I do have a tendency towards hyperbole. But seriously, someone should buy that...

So you are saying I should buy this and review it? I could afford it and likely give it to a friend after fiddling with it.

Well, I'll let people know. Just ordered one. Figured it was cheap enough it didn't matter, I just won't get as drunk over the break.

I've got a plethora of random OEM and such keyboards to compare it to, as well as some mechs.

New for $8.25 you'll be hard pressed to do better, at least not without some time, patience & luck.
That said, it surely won't meet minimum acceptable criteria for some but it's nice to know about the deal.
Nice option if you need a cheap keyboard for whatever reason and understand what it is, and isn't.
There are some reviews at Newegg.  Below picture from here.

This doesn't look like the better of the Key Tronics I have seen. Seems like the keys are a bit lower in profile than the variable weight ones at FSU.

I don't think it's their top of the line, no.  Seems to be a decent compact rubber dome.  From the reviews many like it quite well, some not.

The best rubber domes were all built in the 90's.  I've tried many different rubber domes, and almost everything built within the past 10 years is extremely unpleasant to type on.

Notable Switches I have tried:
black cherry, blue cherry, brown cherry, clear cherry, cherry M84, white alps, black alps, cream alps, Monterey blue alps, Fujitsu Peerless, Gateway2000 rubber dome, Keytronic rubber dome, Model M buckling spring, Model F buckling spring, futaba, black space invader

No.  This is the newest model that is a lousy, slim-type, flat keyboard.  It's not even contoured.  This keyboard stinks.  We had them at work.  It is not what you think.  Don't bother.
