None of the Chicony boards that I own feel like they're worth $60+, not even close.
I still like them though. They're nice and simple.

But that's just me.

Chicony keyboards are as close as you can get to the cheapness of modern OEM keyboards while still having mechanical switches.

Wow.  There is truly nothing exciting about that 'board.  The price is understandable (I said "understandable," not "reasonable"), though, look who's selling it.
