So I will be honest, the 200K isn't exactly going to be my first choice when picking out a keyboard for myself. I have been using higher end keyboards for far too long. Adjusting back to the scissor switches wasn't my cup of tea. Frankly I actually pr...

Scissor switches have a tiny travel distance, making them fast, Comes with media functions and basic, but customisable lighting effects, Good to game with, Very affordable, Quiet
