I bought the keyboard from Best Buy during last Black Friday for the same price. After reading the reviews, I spent the extra money for the warranty since it sounds like keys breaking is an extremely common issue for this keyboard. It's my office keyboard and people haven't complained about it and no keys have broken. I've even asked them a few to be honest about the noise, so either they are fine with it or very passive aggressive. I would only bring a keyboard with Cherry Brown switches into the office though.
