probably? dosnt seem especially cheap tbh

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

 

The original LAN PC build log! (Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0)

"Here is some advice that might have gotten lost somewhere along the way in your life. 

 

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

 

Follow these simple rules in life, and I promise you, things magically get easier. " - MageTank 31-10-2016

It looks legit enough, I would get BOX switches from Novel Keys instead, as it is less like a alley deal

@Pkelex If you are buying switches for your Black Widow I hope you know that keyboard is not hot swapable, you will need to desolder you current switches to replace them.

The prices seem to be slightly below the price for Gaterons on KBDFans, where they cost $2 for 10. 

Instead of clicky switches that use a click jacket, check out the clicky Kailh Box switches. They sound better and feel better.

From the image on Amazon those look like the old school Kailh switches, which were indeed terrible. Modern Kailh are leagues better.

You will have to desolder current switches on that one too for sure.
