Cherry Mx Blues /Black on the cheap at Monoprice

[Voixdelion]

I want another cherry blue board but can't afford to buy another one, but I'm sorely tempted to stretch the budget at these prices.   Gonna have to cross my fingers they don't sell out of this before I get some cash!  Pretty low price, but I don't know about build quality though.  Still if you want a blue board its not a big chunk of change at  less than 60 bucks new...

Not really a that great of a deal if you're buying them to use as keyboards.

You can get a Ducky Zero w/ Blacks for $78: http://mechanicalkeyboards.com/shop/index.php?l=product_detail&p=261

And Newegg has the QFR w/ Blues for $65 if you don't mind the MIR: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16823129002

There a 10% off $50 coupon for monoprice somewhere. It takes care of the majority of shipping

ah- lucky on the shipping for me then . (I can get it overnight for 6 bucks in Cali, less than usps priority  and  they drop stuff at my door EARLY in the morning.  I bought a 15 dollar pen tablet that came so fast i was surprised they had time to process it fill it ship it and drop it off in something like 18 hours after I hit  "confirm". )  I still want one of those rosewills with the red backboards though - matches my theme...

monoprice isnt that great.  bought one for the office and ended up returning it.  the plate flexes a lot and the keys are strangely recessed around the home block and and arrow keys.

I concur that monoprice isn't that great.  I have had endless problems with them.

So it's the keyboard not monoprice? I haven't dealt with them much but they seem like a decent company. As for the board, it looks like a rebranded adesso full-size, not the best mech keyboard manufacturer.

monoprice as a company is fantastic.  customer service is top and they have always taken care of me.  the keyboard itself is just a low quality rebrand.  its a huge improvement over most rubber domes but there are much better mechanical options out there for a little bit more money.
