I am a hobbyist & a collector and bought something rare and of truly HIGH quality. Price means nothing here. You guys are talking about membrane keyboards.
This is a mechanical keyswitch keyboard. Logitek makes not one single quality keyboard but that doesn't mean they are bad...they are simply throwaways
(eventually). You would never need to throw this one away for ANY reason. I don't think any painting in the world is worth a million dollars either, but I don't
hassle someone else who does think that way. Your keyboard is only $10 for a reason. You will drink enough alcohol in a month or two and easily make up the difference in price. I don't drink. So you see, its easy to critisize someone who thinks differently. Its amazing the amount of disrespect that goes on when your
not speaking to someone's face. If you think I wasted money...look at yourself first please. This thread is for enthusiasts.

Electronics are made in Asia because of cost-savings and cheap labor. Quality has very little to do with it. If it wasn't for petroleum based plastics invented in
the US, there would be no industry in the Orient. The US has the largest invention patent office in the world for a reason.
Back to the keyboard: your hands are on it continually as the input device. Some would say it and the monitor are the most important pieces of hardware. If you
have never tried a mechanical keyboard you don't know what you're missing. A little more expensive, but the Logitek Illuminated I've got only took me 3 weeks to
pop off one of the keys. You would never need to get the one I bought to try it.
Grump...I almost forgot your question. That power strip is just far enough back that I don't bump it.
Here is a good thread about mechanical keyboards...
