I am always fascinated by the Samsung/Qsenn DT35 story -

1. Korean gamers buy this cheapass, generic keyboard entirely because they are cheap.
2. Korean gamers get really good at Starcraft, primarily by playing it 24/7.
3. Americans/Europeans want to become mega-1337 at Starcraft without actually developing any real skills.
4. They come to the conclusion that the brand of keyboard used by the Korean players is a contributing factor in success.
5. Demand for said cheapass keyboard develops amongst Western gamers.
6. Importers sell the keyboard onto the hapless masses, sometimes for as much as 10 times the price that it retails for in Korea.
7. People actually buy them.

It's times like these that I develop a limited appreciation for people who get involved in sociology research.

Moral of the story: Go to your local supermarket and buy the cheapest keyboard you can find. Same difference.

Honestly the price is pretty terrible for a keyboard but I would guess that part of the reason why people buy these keyboards/mice like the Logitech mini optical is because the pros use them. Not because they think it will improve their game because nobody is that stupid. How badass is it to own the gear used by your favorite progamer? It's still kind of silly from a purely economic viewpoint but it's not as stupid as you think.

I think DRG still uses a Qsenn DT-35, confirmed on his stream last night, but other than that I think most players (even the KeSPA players) switched to mechanical.

Yes he got sponsored by Zowie. I think that can be part of the reason. Because the keyboard isn't bad at all.
