 Great board.. ruined by poor craftsmanship.Sep 26, 2009
Status lights never worked. Like so many others, C key died, solder had come loos off the board. It had such promise.. Not worth the fifty bucks. 20 mabe.. just save up your money for a DAS Keyboard.

 Great for the priceAug 29, 2009
It is true that the solder job is not the best in the keyboard. However, it does contain real Cherry MX Blue keyswitches aren't available in any other keyboard for under $100. Popular keyboards including this keyswitch are the Das Keyboard and some of the Filco Majestouches, both around $120. This is only $50 and offers a similar typing experience. Due to the poor solder job, keyswitches to tend to break, but if you so much as have a solder gun and are willing to look up some short tutorials online, then it's a fine keyboard that is easily fixed. The quality is not the best on this keyboard. Some of the keys are higher than others and many of them are tilted one way or another, but it isn't noticeable when typing. The N-Key rollover on this is non existent. If you watch the company's video, they say it offers up to 6 keys on the USB. Yes, it's true, it does offer UP to 6 keys. However, it's the same matrix as on any standard cheap $10 keyboard. You can press all the homerow keys at the same time but the killer combos like wed and qwas will not work. For $50, this keyboard is great and does what I expected, so if you're looking to save some money, get a keyboard with MX Blue switches, and don't mind soldering, it's a decent choice.

Worked great for about 10 monthsJun 17, 2009
Looking for the feel and sound of the old IBM keyboards, I found this one 11 months ago. It has worked flawlessly until about a month ago - which means it lasted me 10 months. Now the the number keys are having issues. It doesn't matter if I use the number keys from the right side number pad or use the number keys across the top of the letter keys. The really bad ones are the numbers 4 and 9.. sometimes I have to press the 4 or 9 five or six times before it will work. Number 1 is almost as bad. Number six won't work at all. Also having the same issues with the letter R. If you don't mind having to get a new keyboard after about 10 months, then this one will do ya. Otherwise, avoid it.
UPDATE: If you want a really good mechanical keyboard, do like I did. Go to your local Salvation Army-type thrift shop. Here where I am, it's called Gateway Rescue Mission. These kinds of stores always get old computers and accessories and they usually have some up and running for you to test. Look for an IBM Model M keyboard. There will be a sticker on the bottom/back of the keyboard that tells you the model. These are the original bad boys of mechanical keyboarding! Paid FIVE BUCKS for the one I'm typing on right now. They are selling on eBay for $20 on up to $125. Good luck in your search for a good mechanical keyboard.. just do NOT buy this one.

A Great Keyboard To Type OnMay 11, 2009
I've been through a number of keyboards in the past year. The biggest disappointment was an Enermax Aurora Micro that I bought based entirely on praise for its hard aluminum shell and superior construction. Problem? I and a friend who also picked one up, both experienced keys going bad in the first 3 weeks. At this price level (50 - 60 bucks) it is a bigger hassle and more expensive to return than to retire so I've got a very well built piece of junk stacked out in the garage. The Enermax scissor-style keys started me looking for an alternative and brought me to mechanical switches.
I did my research and came down to the Cherry MX blue switches which are tactile and 'clickey'. Since the mechanics of the Das Keyboard and Scorpius M10 are the same, I made my decision based on price ($129 vs $49).
The keys feel soft and almost sensual. Using the Scorpius is a joy for me. I honestly look forward to sitting down to it and find myself doing more work at home now.. I haven't taken a typing test but believe my typing speed and accuracy have both improved. I know my hands and wrists don't ache when I'm finished working. After a month of what I consider heavy use, I haven't seen the switch failures other reviewers mentioned.
To the people complaining about construction I will admit, the case is cheap. The right riser on my M10 fell off during unpacking. I was able to re-attach it and it's working now but I'm aware of it and very careful when folding or opening it.
If I understand some of the reviewers, they didn't like this keyboard because of the solder traces on the iOne printed circuit board. If that is how they judge a keyboard, then I have an Enermax they'd love, even if it's useless for input. I admit the M10 doesn't have the solid chassis or the extra-touches of added usb ports. It does have Cherry blue switches where my fingers spend their time while typing so that is what I'll judge on. I am glad I ignored a couple of the reviews and paid attention to a couple others when I ordered the M10. I have been very pleased with my purchase.
It is a great keyboard to type on.

so far, so goodMay 05, 2009
I'd give this computer a perfect rating if it had a usb outlet. But it's a great mechanical switch keyboard and is much quieter than my Tactile Pro. Although I'll be surprised if it lasts as long as the Tactile, the noise issue is worth consideration. Also, I don't plan on playing soccer with this so if it's not quite a tank I'm not sure that will matter.
