cichlidfan Posted March 14, 2015 Author Share Posted March 14, 2015 They make a nice one from wood and if it was half of the $500 price tag, I would get it. :) Assuming the switches are Cherry blues (which I think they are). http://www.amazon.com/Datamancer-The-Diviner-Keyboard/dp/B00MJ3LYOC/ref=sr_1_3?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1426300503&sr=1-3 ASUS ROG Maximus VIII Hero, i7-6700K, Noctua NH-D14 Cooler, Crucial 32GB DDR4 2133, Samsung 950 Pro NVMe 256GB, Samsung EVO 250GB & 500GB SSD, 2TB Caviar Black, Zotac GTX 1080 AMP!

Scarecrow Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 Can I ask what is the big deal with these expensive cherry "mechanical" keyboards. I really am curious to know why they are so important all of a sudden the last couple of years? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PFunk1606688187 Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 Mechanical is better than rubber dome. Cherry is just a popular brand. Warning: Nothing I say is automatically correct, even if I think it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mig29movt Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 I love amazon customer reviews: Terrible....just terrible. I spilled a pot of Maxwell House coffee all over the keys. Now they are tarnished. I tried scrubbing off the film with Tarnex....to my utter dissatisfaction, the gold rubbed off. Underneath, was a layer of solid silver...SILVER!!!!!! That is the metal of an impoverished, underling peasant worker. I quickly filled out the RMA, hopped into my 2015 Bentley XL, and scurried down to the local post office to return this dastardly contraption. I was so depressed, I headed over to the neighborhood winery, pounded down several bottles of $50,000.00 port, and wrote this flabbergasted review, using my gold plated IPad.
