Yet another brand jumping on the bandwagon ...
Costar OEM?

That's what I thought too - looks like a QFR with fancier, albeit better looking caps and backlights.

Outer shell design on the 520, with the three vertical oval modifier lights offset to the left of the top right area, seems to be shared with NeoColor and the Noppoo New Choc.

Font is a match to Razer BlackWidow.

I wouldn't necessarily assume these are Costar, then.

Seems like it might be decent. Backlit TKL boards are kinda rare.

i would still get a ducky over this. however, the quality for price might be fantastic. someone needs to buy one and let us know.

Although many people don't know, A4Tech is actually a good brand when it comes to mice and keyboard, their A4Tech Bloody mice are just awesome (though they're copies of other mice, I know).

I knew about A4Tech keyboards about 3 months ago... And there seems to be other keyboards coming up as well  :thumb:

A4Tech means decent to high quality. Pretty cheap also.

I use some cheap mice from them because they're easy to mod and
their KD-300 scissor keyboard is absolutely fantastic (short or old IBM laptop keyboards).

I was looking at the thread title, trying to figure out whether you were swearing at their product, or whether they really did call their product "Bloody". That's just funny.

It is 99.9999% an iOne. 10key rollover gives it away.

And what about the modifiers?  :-X

Anyways, my biggest preocupation about this keyboard is wheter the keycaps are ultra-low quality or ultra-mega-hyper-low quality  :(

iOne can make 1.25 mod keyboards like Costar can make Cherry stabilizer keyboards.

The texture on the WASD looks like it would hurt...
