It's like it's made for Starcraft. They have a few more, I'm tempted to get them just because.

(it's the one on the bottom of course)

It would be helpful it you could share the name/model number of the keyboard

That's pretty cool but as far as I know, Boxer doesn't use the arrow keys to move around the map anymore ^^/

Would like to know the model and where you got this, especially for 5 dollars and mechanical.. wetdream status.

Do pros use the keypad anymore? Boxer was the only top player I recall who used it (and that was 4 years ago when they released a first-person vod of his keyboard).

Lol. That sure means a whole lot coming from the only one of you three that did not join our CSL team on our road to the Eastern finals.....

EDIT - and, if you're available to play tonight, I'll be on.

Wow, I WANT this. OP, can we has more infos?

I figured out that these are "left-handed" keyboards. The one at this link looks identical to OP's picture, but costs a ridiculous $130.

I want one for cheap.

it's a Sejin Electron SKM-1040. LOL it's Korean, I had no idea. If Boxer wants one he can probably get his own, except it doesn't look like they make them anymore. Found it in town at a bargain place. Doesn't look like it's ever been used. They probably came from the local oil company or something

I figured you'd say that. Damn it all!

Lol. Thank you for giving me something to keep my eye out for though. I probably would have seen one in a store and said "lol, you use both hands to type anyway, left-handed keyboard? retarded". But now that I actually see one out of the box and without all that distracting...err, cardboard...I totally am gonna quest for one.

$5 for a mechanical keyboard alone is worth it. The unique layout is just an added bonus.

I know right? I'd probably going to go back and get the rest of them.

Pic of what it looks like under the keys:

That doesn't look like the Cherrys in my Deck board, but if you look at the pics here http://www7.ocn.ne.jp/~hisao/image/skm2001.htm they are nothing if not mechanical.

Here's the inside. I guess there could be individual rubber domes under all of those, but I can't see any membrane anywhere. Looks like Futaba switches.

At any rate, I still like the layout, and it does feel pretty good. And the price was right. Probably not going to replace my Deck, but definitely one for the collection, and I could see myself using it for Starcraft or FPS (I still use the arrow keys D: )

omg i love this! i hate using my right to use the arrow keys / numpad. especially in some games that require you to use them without being able to change the button settings. the only thing bad that i see about it is the fkeys are slightly far -_- i have small hands

I don't know very much about mechanical keyboards, but $5 seems like an amazing price for one. Nice Deck btw (I'm sure that was more than $5 kekeke)

Send one to Boxer and notify us of any replies.

I know. My standard KBs have regular backspace keys. I bought a Steelseries a while back, but sent it back unopened when I realized the backspace key was tiny, then ordered the Deck.
