I don't think you will find anything better or even comparable at that price though.
Maybe I should pick one up for my secondary rig -> DONE!

Thanks OP, in for one.

 

[Linflas]

In for one, taking a shot on this to replace my IBM model M.

Thanks OP, just got one. Any idea how long the sale/coupon code is good for? If I like it, I'll order a second one after it arrives.

I recently got a couple of those Logitech "Natural Wave" for home and and work, and I don't think I like them too much

Pretty sure you can only use codes once.

In for one.. 3% Bing Cashback.. Nice deal, thanks OP.

Thanks, OP. I think this might be the keyboard that replaces my $3 PS/2 keyboard I've been using for well over a decade.

Oops. Yep, you're right.

In for one. I love my IBM Model M, but it's really too big and the noise is getting annoying.

 

[SunRey]

IMHO great for drafting up stuff, terrible for games.

If only they made an ergonomic one.

 

[Bl0cks]

Thank you. In for 1.

$29.99 now. Fuck!

I have always wanted an IBM keyboard for my gaming PC. My Saitek Eclipse is somewhat similar in feel, but it's just not the same.

Damn you newegg!

The coupon posted in OP is still good so it's still $20.

This won't feel like an IBM Model M at all. This has a linear feel to it, the IBM Model M is not linear. It also has a significantly shorter travel distance on the keys.

It won't feel mushy like membrane based keyboards though.

Is it louder or quieter than "Das Keyboard Model S Professional Silent"?

This is supposed to be a non-clicky type mechanical keyboard. Other than bottoming out on keystrokes, it should be pretty quite.

In for one. Thanks!

Non-clicky? I was about to pull the trigger. That's why I wanted it.

See the video from the above linked review to hear how "clicky" it is:
