this is only somewhat related, but i count my old coolermaster masterkeys S as my favorite keyboard of all time, it was nice and utilitarian and came with some absolutely fantastic keycaps - for about 80 bucks. damn shame they "updated" their product lines to appeal to gamers or something, and started taking their cues from corsair and not like, filco.

i have the misfortune of being the guy my friends, family etc call when their computers go bork and one of the little things that just really shine is the easy function-key-shortcut builtin to the board that will swap between windows- and mac style modifier layouts, it wound up being far more than some bellwhistle i initially thought it would be

unfortunately since it was my first real mech it also was something of a guinea pig. i learned to solder switches by swapping them out, and the connections are kinda janked now, and i sometimes have to wack it like an old TV to get it to register certain keypresses.

i'm currently using a durgod TKL, it's almost a suitable equal in all the areas that made me love the CM board.. but man i wish i'd been able to snag another masterkeys, even used, before the supply dried up.

Are you interested in a Masterkeys S with cherry blue switches?

I switched to a Durgod with brown switches and couldn't be happier.
