@sdb4u99 It’s appropriately meh. It’s not a mechanical keyboard, the backslash is in a weird spot due to the funky enter key that took some getting used to (you pretty much have to hit it harder than normal to get it to register, but I’ve more or less gotten used to it.) I was looking for a wired keyboard to get me by and this does the job, but I wouldn’t recommend it for anything serious.
@Knightp@sdb4u99 Up until earlier today there was a Chonchow 108 key mechanical keyboard for $20.24 after coupon. Wrist rest, standard layout, and swappable Outemu blue switches. I probably should have bought a second one at that price – but it’s back up to $27 now.
The brand does have a 104 key version for $25 and a TKL for $26; neither have hot-swappable switches (primarily applicable to keyboard modders), though.
I’ve only had minor gripes, I’m typing on it right now. My gripes are, the weird positioning of the \ key, and that I’m so used to control being the bottom left of the keyboard that I mess up my hotkey commands because I hit the macro button instead of the control button. I know when I first started using it, I was having trouble with capitalizing both letters in “XD” and I realized I type that more than I ever knew. But I must have gotten used to it by now, because it works for me.
The spacebar squeaks a lot sometimes, so I suppose that’s a mark against it.
any ideas how good/bad this is

Membrane keyboard … for a gaming computer? Ha! Overpriced at $18.
