I have a dragonwar gk003 its a membrane keyboard. Now I wanna swap it out for a mechanical one...The one I want looks like this:31FDlEKvG6L._SL1500_.jpg

It's cherry MX blue, USB, very darn cheap (under $20)

 

I don't want backlight... Is this worth it?

Are you sure it's over 100 mechanical Cherry MX Blue switches for under $20?

I used to be quite active here.

I'm asking what Aytex is asking, since a full-sized board with genuine Cherry switches costs much more than $20 to produce.

I mean i looks like legit cherry key switches, though im not sure if its the best one out there.

I guess if your on a really tight budget than maybe

 

Though I highly doubt these are 100% cherry mx switches, they HAVE to have done something to get the prices so cheap

Okay, I have physically used one, it was very loud but tactical and clicky... Although the key caps were very shite, they felt great to click!

Are you sure you like MX Blues? I hated them. Couldn't stand them. Ended up selling the board after using it for a couple days, bought MX Red, and am happy. Might try MX Black.

I could barely afford a DRAGON WAR MOUSE AT $17... Beggers can't be choosers...

I doubt it is actually cherry mx. At $1.50 each on average for consumers the cost for manufacturers has to be around $0.50-$0.75 per switch. That means that a full size keyboard costs between $52 and $78 to produce in switches alone.

Reviews point out that it doesn't use cherry switches, instead using cheap chinese clones, and build quality looks really suspect.
