General
I knew mechanical keyboards were getting cheaper, but $13 is a steal.

Some of the best gaming keyboards with mechanical key switches cost over $100, some close to $200. The Vic Tech FL Deck is one such keyboard with blue switches. Normally $29.99, it is now available for $13.13.

This is not free, but it's about the same as you can get while paying something for a mechanical keyboard, and a brand new one at that.

This low price is thanks to two discounts on the product page: one is a $9 "Extra Savings" coupon (just click the checkbox), and the other is a 30% off coupon code (XXUPZG77). You can either enter it manually at checkout or expand the promotions section (under prices) and click the [Redeem] button.

Is it good?" is a roll of the dice since I am not using this keyboard. Normally in situations like this I would look to user reviews to see if there are any common complaints, but this is a new product with only two impressions (and a 4.5/5 star rating).

At this price, I'd be willing to jump on board if I were in the market for a super-affordable mechanical keyboard. According to user reviews, it uses tactile and clicky blue switches called Outemu Blues. They won't feel the same as the more expensive Cherry MX style, but they are potentially the closest to the classic switches of the "clones".

Other features include double-shot keycaps, a brushed metal frame, splash and dust resistance (with drain holes on the bottom), a compact numeric keyless (TKL) design (meaning no dedicated number pad), rainbow-colored backlighting with six zones etc.
