I personally can't recommend the Gateron version. Purchased this with Gateron clears about a year ago from Massdrop and have had to resolder and swap around 3 or 4 keys around on the board because they chatter like crazy, or just plain stopped working. I ordered one of these from MechanicalKeyboards with Cherry red (and LED backlighting, if you're into that) a few days ago for ~95 shipped with the sale they're having on KBP boards.
The keyboard itself is great as a daily driver; super smart function layer out-of-the-box, dipswitches hit the right features for me, significantly cheaper than the Pok3r, but I cannot recommend this with Gateron switches based on my experience with them.
If you're buying this to plug/unplug a lot and use it as a portable solution, consider affixing it to the PCB with something like hot glue or epoxy, it's only held onto the board by solder (granted, at some fixed support points as well as the traces).

adoyyHm. That sounds odd. Literally you're the only person I've ever heard having poor experiences with gateron. I'm sorry about that. I really love them a lot more than cherry and always recommend them over the former. I wonder what could have caused all these issues? I've had nothing but good things with my gateron switches through 2 different boards.
