buhehe:

Such a short warranty (1y) makes me question the faith Gskill has in its own product

Can't really expect much for sub $50 keyboard. You aren't buying this for long term support, you're buying it for the price.

G.Skill knows that they have no competition at this price point.

G.skill have done keyboards before, I'm typing this on their Ripjaws KM780 RGB keyboard with MX browns. Its a great keyboard, almost perfect but with one serious issue. Its so F***ing LOUD that I have been looking for a replacement!! And thats after fitting "double" silicone O rings on every key. Damn this is one noisy keyboard.

It's Cherry MX keys ... what could go wrong? Those are old enough and perfected manufacturing... the chance of them breaking is slim to none.
