Roccat keyboard on sale @ ncix, cost 100$ at newegg.com

Stumbled upon this on my mechanical kb search. MX blacks are comparable to browns but require a tad bit more actuation force, MX Cherry : 60g(black) compared to 55g(brown) and 45g(red). I'm not buying this keyboard myself, but some may be looking for a gaming keyboard with these options. I dig the extra keys below the space bar, but personally want a smaller ten keyless KB.

I looked up black, it does not click. I thought browns click?

Blacks are linear, not clicky: http://deskthority.net/wiki/Cherry_MX_Black

Browns are tactile, also technically not clicky: http://deskthority.net/wiki/Cherry_MX_Brown

Blues, greens, and whites are clicky (as well as tactile), and so are some hybrid switches. Play around on Deskthority's wiki, they have some good info.

Hmm... The price is right but I'll wait it out for a brown or blue one. 60G of actuation force on linear doesn't sound too appealing to me.

It does come in handy if you're a gamer that may accidentally hit other keys in the heat of the moment. Gives you a split second longer to realize you're about to go full retard with your hand placement.

Fair warning: this model is not back lit nor does it have the USB ports as the pictures suggest.
