So much for the G.Skill KM360 being the cheapest keyboard with gEnUiNe ChErRy Mx switches... The price actually isn't that much lower than the normal one. On Amazon it costs $22,94 for the Windows version, or $21,94 for the Mac version ($25,97 fulfulled by Amazon). I still thought it was worth sharing.

Noteworth features:

• Dedicated media control buttons
• 75% layout (has function row and a compacted nav cluster, including arrow keys)
• 3 USB ports (left, right and back)

And yes, actual Cherry MX switches. The price per switch turns out to be just $0,21, which is cheaper than buying them loose. If you for some reason need Cherry MX Reds, this is the cheapest way to get them.

THIS IS BACK ON SALE AND I BOUGHT ONE PREVIOUSLY, WORTH $19 shipped all day long.  My quick review:

 

As a gamer I do not like the Multimedia keys to the left side of the keyboard.  My pinky is used to YEARS of hanging over the edge of the keyboard and finding my hand on the right keys is....new...due to this setup.  I don't like it in that regard, but in the aspect of a mechanical keyboard it is amazing for the price.  Smooth, not to clicky or loud, and a smaller footprint then a full keyboard. 

 

Im continuing using mine because I like the way it feels over my memchanical gaming keyboard.  The only reason I will switch back is if I cant train my hand to revert back to its original position based on the keys feels.  Or Ill buy some bumpy keycaps cause I do like the keyboard.

Smooth

That's the last word that many would use to describe Cherry MX Reds. At least after trying better switches (e.g. various Gaterons, Kailh Box etc) :3

 

Good that you like it, though. And nice that you found it on sale again. For $19 it's definitely hard to argue against.

Going from memchanical to mechanical it seems smoother (I can feel the travel compared?  Best way I can describe it from my limited use and exposure to mech keyboards). 

 

Im mostly happy to finally experience a Mechanical Keyboard for such a low low cost entry fee.  Me personally I love to get my hands on hardware, not think I know it from specs or other peoples espousing of it
