Looks like mouse and keyboard with black switches for under $40.
This legit?

This is just the keyboard, also claims to be Cherry MX blacks, for $30 after shipping.

The small-sized function keys smell suspicious.  You generally can't do that with conventional MX switches-- the cap won't clear when depressed, without a very nonstandard cap design.

Its almost worth buying it just to desolder it for the switches. Haha.

Beware, many 3rd party vendors on Newegg in particular select "black Cherry MX" for switch type on the "specifications" tab when selling non-mechanical keyboards on Newegg. May be a default option of some kind, a translation issue, or a technical issue compounded by lack of English language skills on the part of the sellers.

I suspect that's probably the case here.

AJazz do have some MX models... but these are not them. As FoxWolf1 says, lots of those 'from Asia' 3rd party sellers mark incorrectly have wrong description and etc, use care and common sense when buying anything from those. I still wish newegg wouldn't have allowed those on, it generally dragging down the site experience, quality of goods and more.

Reviews on Newegg say that they aren't actually MX black.  Also comes with a CD of malware as a bonus according to multiple reviews! Might want to sit this one out.
