The SMK switches and keycaps on these Laser boards are really nice. Downfall of these keyboards, from what I remember (haven't typed on mine in quite some time), is the low kro (think 2?) and they're pcb mounted. Make them feel cheap. Great deal though.

I really like SMK switches.

For "lightweight"keyboards, these are nice.
"However, even though I was born in the Mesozoic, I do know what anyone who wants to reach out to young people should say: Billionaires took your money. They took your chance to buy a home. They took your chance at a good education. They stole your opportunities. Billionaires took the things you want in life. If you really want those things, you have to take them back.
That's the message. That's the whole message. Say that every day, not just to reach America's frustrated young white men, but people of every age, race, and gender.
Late-stage capitalism is a wealth-concentration engine, focused on vacuuming up every dollar and putting it in as few hands as possible. Republicans are helping that vacuum suck.
How does a tiny fraction of the population get away with this? They do it by dividing the other 99% of Americans against themselves."

And another interesting one. http://www.ebay.com/itm/141602648502
That one has very different keycap legends, so I’m guessing it’s a different type of switch.

They should have SMK MX mount [...] http://www.ebay.com/itm/381188402882
I won this auction after all. Surprised it ended up at only $25 + shipping, as the switches are great, much nicer to type on than e.g. clicky MX switches.

Good job. I looked at this auction seriously.

Let us know if they really are the SMKs.
