With and without keypad, also Otaku style (no lettering) are on sale. The ones that are not in stock are marked at $109. The $89 sale is essentially $20 off.
Those are good cherry keyboards. Mine's over a year old now and shows no signs of lettering disappearing or anything like that.

The vendor is reputable and has been around for a while. I am not affiliated with them, I just love the keyboard.

I would love a cherry mx, but I also want my ergonomics keyboard too. Why can't they make Ergonomic Cherry MXs?

Good store, if anyone was wondering.

I have a Filco Majestouch with Cherry Brown switches that I bought from them. Worth every penny.

I don't like the leopolds because the rounded edges of the boards are too damn feminine

And the cherry stabilizers are impossible to fix if there's a problem because you can't buy replacement parts anywhere.

I have two Leopold Cherry Browns. Sturdy frame, heavy, solid keys... excellent keyboards. Highly recommended.

I was looking at this site but ended up getting a Das Keyboard from amazon about a week ago. Normal wouldn't shell out that much for a keyboard, but it was the only Cherry MX Brown worth getting on Amazon (I was limited to amazon due to giftcards given to me).

The other place to look for a well priced mechanical is newegg. They put the Rosewill line up for sale regularly, but usually only one switch type is on sale at any given time.

I ordered a keyboard....thanks for the deal. I've been itching to buy a nice mech keyboard for awhile.

Ditto. These are fantastic, entry-level mechanical keyboards. I prefer them with the keypad, and have one at home and one in my office. At this price I think I'll grab another as a backup. Thanks! :thumbsup:

How do these compare with say a Corsair K60 or Steelseries 6Gv2?

If you go over to the geekhack forums leopold is considered a great product. For keyboard enthusiasts leopold is considered a superior keyboard manufacturer. For gamers, I'm guessing the K60 is preferred. I prefer Cherry MX Browns and Reds which aren't as easy to find so to each their own.

If you want a mechanical keyboard that focuses on being a good, solid mechanical keyboard and not much else, Leopold is a very good choice. The Corsair, Steelseries, Razer iOne, and similar boards are also good, but they're aimed more at enthusiasts/modders and gamers.

There's a good (if a bit long) discussion, along with some good keyboard porn, here.
