Keep posting Larry. I enjoy your deal posts. I have the Aukey KM-G12 mechanical keyboard in red, blue and brown switches. It's an all metal chassis keyboard that has rainbow colors like this one but also uniform single colors for all the keys. I think I paid as little as $21.99 for one and somewhere in between for several others up to $30.

This OP keyboard looks like a cheapie version with a plastic chassis and non uniform single color key option. I have played the buy a cheap mechanical keyboard game for a few years.

I think my oldest Aukey KM-G12 keyboard is over a year old now. No dead LED's or non responsive or inaccurate switches.

This is the keyboard you want on a budget. The traditional (proper key fonts) and 7 or 8 solid colors to choose from as well as the true rainbow affect. Meaning individual keys in a rainbow, not in rows.

Yep. I bought 4 of them. I use one at home and gave the others away as gifts. This is one awesome kb.

I ordered one too. I hope it works out. I don't play games, but wanted a backup keyboard, in case my old one dies.

Thanks Larry. I bought one of these. I like it really well. Using it right now, instead of my old timey PS2 mechanical keyboard from 2001. It's the very first USB keyboard I've ever owned :)

And it's my first backlighted keyboard. I really like that, but I wish all the keys could be set to the same static color. I reckon my old eyes and feeble brain will adjust eventually.

Anyway, Larry, please keep posting these good deals you find. I appreciate it very much.

Yeah, I bit on this too. The power cord on my IBM model M keyboard was just getting too frayed. I'm going to have to figure out how to fix it.
