It's a Redragon Kumara K552-KR, I have no idea if it's nice to type on. It's kinda thick and heavy, which I like, the cable was pulled out of the housing but that was an easy fix. It's like they expected it somehow, there's a screwed on panel to access that. Do gamers express frustration by pulling out their keyboard's cable?

Well I've started typing with it and I do not like it. The keys are so high up and chunky I'm constantly hitting two or three at a time. I'm definitely a cheap plasticky laptop keyboard kinda guy, I'm used to small, low keycaps. On a cheap laptop running Windows 7. Oh well, 6$ for finding that out isn't too bad.

They're not for everyone. But if you like the low rise keys there are good mechanical keyboards with them. Might be worth a try, but they're expensive enough that I'd see if a friend has one to play with rather than buying one and hoping for the best.

I settled on the cheapest keyboard at Canada Computers, a 20$ HP wireless thing. Seems to be the closest to a full-size keyboard with laptop-style plastic goodness.

It might take a little bit to get used to, but your brain will adapt pretty quickly if you keep using it.
