Default Keyboards

I know this thread has been made before, but I have been considering in purchasing a new keyboard since this mechanical one I've been using simply does not cut it.
I was looking at this one.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16823126216
Suggestions? Comments? Negative comments won't hurt my feelings.

I also here the Kensington Slimtype or w/e is a good buy as well, but is there really much of a difference on the Brand of the keyboard if playing on a slim/flat keyboard is ideal for FFR?

That one seems fine just make sure you but it new. A rectified keyboard to me sounds like a bad idea lol

For sure it would be new. But why would be a bad idea?

Because if they ****ed it up once, they have a good chance of ****ing it up again.

Pessimistic sure but with the low quality of today's produce, can you honestly not agree with it?

I own a Kensington slimtype and a Logitech k120. Both are great keyboards but I much prefer my Kensington because of the speed increase I got from it due to the ease of pressing the key and the low profile

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that keyboard out of production?

64365 is discontinued. 72357 is not


while this is in discussion, is there really any difference between the Kensington slimtype 64365 and 72357? >_>"

Other than design differences I don't think so

btw, Kensington keyboard is on sale for a week at Newegg.com for $24 with free shipping. (US ONLY)
Pretty good, considering it is nearly $50 to purchase it at newegg.ca :C

I have the Logitech illuminated (new though). Big jump from laptop keys.


And this is like the 3rd thread about keyboards this month -__-
