ASUS Echelon Mechanical Gaming Keyboard
« on: Sun, 20 July 2014, 18:42:53 »
Some folks keep recomending this keyboard but im finding very hard to find reviews about it!



Anyone know anything about it? Quality wise etc Amazon has no customer reviews about it

That's a rebranded Max Keyboard Nighthawk X7.

I would rather go for something that is known for quality like a Ducky if you want backlighting.

Doesn't llook too bad, but I would definitely go for a company who is more well known for their mechs.
Can we get them to build the Alps ten feet higher and get Cherry to pay for it?

Would love to see Ducky come out with a RGB board w/ Matias switches.

Just used the clicky Matias switches for the first time a few days ago. They sound and feel better than MX-blues IMHO.
My collection:

GON HHKB (62g MX Clears), CM Storm Novatouch, Poker II (MX Blues)  ., HHKB 2 Pro ., Cherry G80 (MX Blacks), JD40 (In the mail as soon as Margo builds it!), Plank Keyboard (parts in the mail!)

That's good to hear. I've never tried Matias. I believe the force is a bit higher then an MX blue, about 60 +-5g

Clicky Alps > clicky MX, without a doubt.
