Any decent starter mx blue keyboard for a small time typist/slight gamer
« on: Tue, 23 August 2011, 22:06:31 »
I was wondering if anyone had a decently priced mx blue keyboard for sale, keep in mind I won't be doing any hardcore programming or typing at 180wpm. I'm just looking for something to try out the mx blue feel. If anyone can recommend or has a good keyboard to sell, I'm definitely interested. I'll also go first.

Welcome to GH!
You can find a Razer Blackwidow at some local stores like Fry's for a quick try of the MX blues. It's cheap too at $60-$70
A better keyboard with MX blues is the Rosewill RK-9000 at $99 from Amazon:

If you want to spend under $60 hopefully you'll get responses about a used one, good luck!

If you don't need N-key rollover, the PLU ML-87 is a great choice, but the ebay prices seem a bit high... I ordered mine through a taobao agent, and it was somewhere around $80 shipped. It was one of the more expensive ones on taobao, as I wanted one with browns, in a white shell with blank keycaps. Build quality was better than I expected for the price, and the matrix was fine for gaming, with WASD actually fairly well optimized.
