FYI guys, this QPAD MK-50 is awesome. Reds ftw, so much better than the blues in my BWU for gaming. My APM has increased by like 20 in starcraft :D

The quality is good, feels really sturdy, and my favourite thing is the matte finish on the keys, so much better than the plasic-y finish on the BWU ...

So far, the best I could find is the QPAD MK-50 (£63 and comes with a mouse mat):

This keyboard seems like it has everything that I want, but your opinion on its quality and also whether there are any better options would be much appreciated ...

Oracle, I am in need of your wisdom.

I want a keyboard with cherry MX Red keyswitches, as I already have blues, don't want the tactile feel of browns and think the blacks might be too stiff.

I want this keyboard for about 60% gaming (mainly in Starcraft II), 40% typing.

I don't care about any ...

anyone got any experience with this keyboard?

It uses Cherry MX Red switches; the only ones I want ATM.

It's the cheapest one with red switches I could find without going into some shady areas of tenkeyless (keyboards such as the ...

considering buying this sometime this month:

Look like a bargain

Guess what I'm typing on.
Yep, the BWU :D

took about 400 key-presses and lots of intense shaking of the board, but finally the H key is working again :) Thanks for all the help everyone. I'll never use compressed air on it again, lol. Seemed like a good idea at the time.

On an unrelated note - can ...

will the warranty not cover me if I conveniently forget to mention that I removed the keycaps, and I just say the H key stopped working of its own accord?

If not, I'll ask a couple of local computer technicians if they know how to do this. If all else fails I'll give it a go myself and post my ...

semi-good news:
simply turning the keyboard upside down and shaking it, blowing on the G key and pressing it a few times has fixed it :) No such luck with the H key. On that program I downloaded, it shows the H isn't actuating at all. I can't really figure out how to take off the switches; if it ...

I don't really know what you want me to do, considering most of that threaad is intended for people who have spilt something on their keyboard. Also note that I don't even know how to open up my keyboard, let alone clean the insides of it etc

Thanks :) I'll try that if updating/reinstalling my firmware doesn't fix it (realised, stupidly, that I hadn't tried that).

Also, why shouldn't I click on the geekhack links? I used to post on geekhack, and when I wanted to post this thread I went to http://www.geekhack.org to post it and it said ...

So my BWU was working fine, until I cleaned it about 30 minutes ago. I removed the letter and number keycaps (using a credit card), and proceeded to use a Q-tip to scrape between the switches and also use compressed air on the keyboard. When I put everything back together and plugged the keyboard in ...
