Monoprice Mechanical Gaming Keyboard - Cherry MX Blue (109433)
Have you wanted to get a nice mechanical switch keyboard for your PC, but cannot justify the excessive cost? Monoprice comes to the rescue with this Mechanical Gaming Keyboard with Cherry MX Blue keys! This keyboard is designed as a bare-bones, no-frills mechanical board. You don't get a USB hub, or backlighting, or macro programmability. What you do get is a high-quality, durable keyboard using Cherry MX Blue keys at the lowest possible price, without sacrificing quality, of course! Mechanical keyboards use physical switches for each key. The switches have longer travel, yet can register a keystroke without requiring full depression, depending on which type of switch is used. This allows gamers to "double-tap" more easily and allows for faster typing. This keyboard uses the industry leading Cherry MX Blue switches, which require about 50-60 grams actuation force and which provide a physical and audible tactile click at the activation point. The switches are gold plated to prevent corrosion and have a life cycle of over 50 million key presses. Additionally, this mechanical keyboard supports "N-key rollover". Each switch is individually monitored so that each key press is registered properly, even though other keys are being actuated at the same time. Typical membrane keyboards and most mechanical keyboards with a USB interface only support 6-key rollover (maximum 6 keys registering at a time), but this model supports 64-key rollover, which allows for complex gaming combos as well as faster touch typing with fewer errors.
