Turtle Beach Impact 500 Gaming Keyboard

Nice keyboard for the $50 price. That price is unbeatable for genuine Cherry MX key switches. This is now my go to keyboard and it wiil be even better when I get the decent keycaps for it. I like front labeled keys and this keyboard has the standard top labels. But for $50 you can afford to buy a new key cap set. Without the extra tenkey pad, this keyboard is more portable and I can actually fit it in my laptop bag when I travel to the coffee shop, plus without the number pad, I have room for my drink. Most mechanical keyboards emphasize blinking LED lights or are made for gamers. Others are loaded up with extra features I don't want or need like USB hubs or require plugging in two USB cords. This one has one cord and it is made for typing, not replacing a USB hub or making a light show. This one is made for touch typists that wish to hear a sound when they strike a key. There are only two bad things about it. The cord keeps falling out of the channel beneath the keyboard and the logo is way too prominent. I want to try scraping it off, but I am afraid it will ruin the finish. There are lots of spare keycaps available online to mod this board with, so it shouldn't be a problem.
