Costar OEM?

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

Font is a match to Razer BlackWidow.

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

Post by: wetto on Mon, 19 August 2013, 15:08:23: 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:

Post by: gigibecali on Tue, 20 August 2013, 03:38:54: 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).

Post by: Daniel Beardsmore on Tue, 20 August 2013, 18:33:44: 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.

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 :(
