Mechanical keyboards are primarily vessels for novelty keycaps...

Can't be Costar based on the Windows key size and its style, but yeah, seems like just one of the many modifications of the iOne Scorpius U9BL...

QPAD already sells one of them, it was just a matter of time before Func also did.
My collection:
More
Mice: Logitech G602, CM Storm Recon, CM Storm Spawn, Razer Naga, Ozone Radon Opto, Corsair M60, Tesoro Gandiva, CM Storm Alcor, Mionix Naos 8200.
Keyboards: Matias Secure Pro, Matias Mini Quiet Pro, custom modded Metadot Das Keyboard Model S Professional Silent (MX Brown, Costar), CM Storm Trigger (MX Brown), Noppoo Choc Mini (MX Red), Tesoro Lobera G5NFL Supreme, CM Storm Devastator.
Soon: CM Storm Quick Fire TK (MX Brown), CM Storm Trigger Z.
Boards I don't own anymore: CM Storm Quick Fire Rapid (MX Black), Logitech K800 (Membrane), Logitech G710+ (MX Brown), Thermaltake Meka G-Unit (MX Black), Corsair K70 (MX Red).
Mice I don't own anymore: Logitech G9x MW3, Corsair M65, Logitech G700, Roccat Kone Pure.

I don't trust any manufacturer if all they can put are digital renderings of their new products. You'd think they'd want to show their actual products in all their glory if they had them. Maybe eventually.

Here's an idea. Use all these human resources routed to Marketing in the development of better switches. That way the keyboard community will appreciate it, at least the novelty of it, and it will generate more profits than trying to fool children they're going to auto-cheat over their friends in gaming.

It reminds me of the two ships in Hitchhiker's guide to the Galaxy. The Marketing one was probably too small.

 I'm already irritated by the fact the market has basically 2 or 3 available switches technologies and they all seem mismanaged either in technology or in openness. More players are needed in switches development, not in the development of ..the same product with different colors on its plastic cover.

I am in agreement with you, but just rehashing what everyone else is doing by purchasing ugly keyboards from an OEM sure does seem easier.
