How are these keyboards for quality?  I'm actually looking for a cheap mechanical keyboard for my dad for Christmas, but I want to get him something decent.

I know they're iOne. Haven't seen a review yet though.

They are $57.42 Cherry MX SuperNoisy Blue
Rosewill RK-9000RE #1 (Broke on day 26, fixed with Scotch Tape on day 42, barely holding together)
Rosewill RK-9000RE #2 (Lubed, still in the box.  I am afraid to use it because it will break like the first one)

I think I saw somewhere you can use code INCENTIVE for 20% off. Not sure though.

That's the regular price. The column to the right of that shows the sale price.

It looks to be about the same model as the scorpius m10, also made by iOne which was my first mech. It has a deep key chassis with the switches about halfway down -- which I liked. You can't beat it for the price. The only thing I didn't like was the small windows/menu keys on a full size board.

It's the same thing as adesso mkb-135b which there is some reviews around for. It's iOne so it's not the best thing ever. I would spend the extra $15-20 more and get something better like Cherry G80, CM Rapid, or Rosewill.

Almost decent enough for the price of the switches :) $0.39 per switch, not bad if you can solder. :)
Edit: Scratch that, price went up to ~$60. $0.58 per switch. Ouch.

Oh, I'll be damned. Thanks! My original statement stands:) Nice price for switches.
