You've built the ultimate gaming rig with a great processor, fast video, a stunning display and superb sound. Now you need a keyboard to match, the M1 from ABS. This is not some throw away unit that will die on you in the middle of a firefight or party raid. This is a fully mechanical keyboard designed to keep you in the game.
It doesn't have all the extra keys common today, it's just a solid 104-key unit than can handle just about anything. Each key has its own mechanical switch. You will feel each key click as it traverses its 4mm path so you know that it has been pressed.
The full sized keyboard is made with minimal extraneous space. The different sections are all close together to keep your hands on the keys and not wandering about hunting. The smaller size lets you keep mice and joysticks closer to hand as well. Capping it all off is the gold plated USB connector for maximum connectivity.
Pros: Keyboard feel is great! Striking the keys is very effortless and the bounce back is not springy at all! This thing is heavy! It really won't budge unless you want it to. Also I havent heard the annoying beeping sound while gaming since I've been using this keyboard. Braided USB Cable, Gold Plated USB End. Nice blue indicators. No-frills/all business packaging.
Cons: It's friggin' loud! The USB Cable is also on the short side. I mean it feels and types great, but the loud key strokes is something I would need to get used to, as well as my wife.
Other Thoughts: Moved from a Logitech Multimedia keyboard to this, and it's night and day! key strokes, feel, sturdiness, build quality, all a win for the abs m1. The only things i miss on the logitech are the soft sounding keys and the calculator button right on the keyboard.

This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Heavy Duty; durable braided cable; gold plated USB, response time, switches actuate roughly half-way down
Cons: bright LEDs(only if looking straight into them, otherwise they're rather dim actually, but if I walk up to my computer the wrong way, I'm often temporarily blinded), lack of tactile feedback when typing fast
Other Thoughts: Though this is a gaming keyboard, I was expecting a bit more tactile feedback on keystrokes, but I've gotten used to it. Very simple, I plugged it in and it worked. Not much else to say... it's a quality (and not too expensive) mechanical keyboard.
