Cheap and Reliable most time doesn't go hand in hand.

Filco. Very multifunctional - use it as a hammer, use it whack robber, use it to cripple a molester also can, and of course, can use to type.

do the led at certain angle shine out from keys' bottom edge, the bright glow abit glaring?

You can reduce brightness. Keycaps cover the led. The light reflects on the metal keyboard giving it a nice glow

had reduced the brightness all the way down. in turn, the key lettering so dim until i prefer my non-led kb :s22:
is not a "nice glow" if u look at eg. the Esc key in ur pic... but mine is different kb

Can some bro kindly advise the difference of keyboards beside the led? The split seconds of input? Tactile?
