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?

High quality keyboards are often very repairable. People tend to like them and not want to replace them often. My daily keyboard was nearly $400. I’m fixing that long before I replace it. The Kumara isn’t nearly so fancy, but some of the design elements will still be there.
Runs about $50 new, so $5.75 is a good price even if it needed minor repairs.
Well I’ve started typing with it and I do not like it. The keys are so high up and chunky I’m constantly hitting two or three at a time. I’m definitely a cheap plasticky laptop keyboard kinda guy, I’m used to small, low keycaps. On a cheap laptop running Windows 7. Oh well, 6$ 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.
I have two of these!
They are surprisingly nice; I can’t tell the difference between their switches and actual MX ones. And they’re only about $40 brand new.
