The keyboard fanboys believe it uses the greatest key switch "ever"

Our Grace. The Feathered One. He shows us the way. His bob is majestic and shows us the path. Follow unto his guidance and His example. He knows the one true path. Our Saviour. Our Grace. Our Father Birb has taught us with His humble heart and gentle wing the way of the bob. Let us show Him our reverence and follow in His example. The True Path of the Feathered One. ~ Dimboble-dubabob III

No they believe its one of the best OLD key switches. They are really nice but lack features required for gaming today. Plus Old tech is really cool and this keyboard was a boss ass bitch at the time.

If you buy a model m and use it as a gaming keyboard then that's not really the best use for it. 

 

Even with my HUR DUR RAZER keyboard it used for typing more than gaming. Finally submitted the MX Blues to their fate.
