kSKY, I assume you're in Canada since you're looking at NCIX. I actually bought the KB-6600BU from NCIX maybe a year ago when it was cheaper (around $50ish). It's also known as the ASK-6600U which you can find some info on if you search this forum. I don't think it's worth $80. It uses simplified/modified Alps switches, and "rings/tings" when you bottom out the keys due to the metal plate. Yes, it's tactile, but you're better off with a blue Cherry board. I also didn't like the backward L shaped Enter key, half-sized Backspace, and relocated Blackslash keys. I got Filco tenkeyless NKRO blue cherry about half a year ago and have been very happy since. Although I have to admit that the Filco cost almost 3x the price of the ASK-6600 after shipping and exchange (1.08CAD to 1.00USD) back when I bought it.
I think you'd be better off getting the Razer Blackwidow for $78.65 (SKU: 83044N) at NCIX if you're paying that price. They also have another one listed for $84.99 (SKU: 57022). Not sure why they have 2 differently priced listings for the same thing. I vaguely recall it was because they came from different suppliers. MemoryExpress.com also as the Razer for $84.99. The reviews on the Blackwidow are sort of mixed since it's not a true NKRO board but instead uses some "gaming optimized" key matrix instead. Another alternative is the Rosewill RK-9000 from newegg.ca for $99.99 + 12.24 S&H. It's basically a clone of the Filco NKRO 104-key blue cherry board. Unless you really need those 5 macro keys on the Blackwidow, I'd say the RK-9000 is probably your best bet unless you want a tenkeyless/87-key keyboard.
