Yes! If you don't want mechanical switches, it is very good. For $25, it is a steal though..

I wouldn't like a second hand keyboard someone else has had his doritos and jizz stained fingers all over.

 

I picked up this Drevo mechanical keyboard (not cherry switches but whatever) for only 30 GBP. Backlit, nice and clicky action, love it!

Does you mum know you're here?

Obviously. It's always cheaper to buy second hand. It doesn't make it any less gross or something I'd do :P

Got my G13 second hand. Open the box -> cotton+rubbing alcohol -> Enjoy the money you saved and never look back.

 

Btw, I would consider something like a G13 or their clones by other brands. Ergonomics are perfect for gaming, you can fully program it for each game you play, and you can get away with any cheap full keyboard for general purpose. Or get a keyboard you are comfortable typing in, without worrying about its gaming capabilities ;)
