Found it on this blog

I kinda like the way the switches are exposed, maybe easily customised? as it's pcb mounted.
and everything looks nice and normal in terms of layout.
can't really find any details on it

So its basically a pcb-mount tenkeyless with no case?
-
Looks like its POM keycaps? Looks familiar to the noppoo with out a case and 10-keyless layout.:D

yup, and that would make it the first of it's kind, if I'm not mistaken.

That's what I was thinking, would be nice to see more POM out of the box. I personally prefer it over abs.
-
It is also a wireless keyboard, working on the 2.4Ghz band
Keyboard is made by PLUM, much like how FILCOs are made by Costar
-
wireless keyboard , pom keycaps , pcb-mount tenkeyless with no case , the price in china will be 459 RMB , about 80 US$ , will on market this month .

Pretty cool looking board, but It obviously wouldn't be good to take around.
-
It's a board with keys on it. The quintessential keyboard.
-
Looks like what the corsair always wanted to be, though without the aluminium.
-
Do want!
-
why is there no case lulz
-
looks like it is going to transform at any given moment.
-
I quite like the styling
-
Oooh wireless. I've been hoping someone besides qpad would make one eventually. Perfect for my HTPC, now where can I buy it?
-
Currently up for pre-order for 500RMB at taobao. That is about $80-90

O wow, overlooked the post where you said it was wireless.
Group buy?
or maybe just an interest check
-
That thing would get so much dust and stuff underneath its keys so quickly.
-
na dust wise it is not easier than regular enclosures, not to mention regular enclosure trap dust and dandruff...
liquid spill entering from the sides is more of a problem... IMO
-
Well I know what will likely be my first 2012 keyboard purchase.
Seems that is black switch only on the presale there. I hope there is some other switch choice, but even if not I will still buy it.

Get Qtan to do it, I'm sure loads of us will buy just 'cause it is wireless.
Maybe I should post more pictures.

This would be awesome for my family possibly, if anyone from the uk is going to buy one, can they let me know so we could save on shipping or whatever?
-
I could care less about the wireless part. But a PCB-mounted tenkeyless hasn't existed up until now. As you can easily swap switches without desoldering, do want!
-
hmm wonder how the battery would hold up
-

First thing I thought of.
-

That's exactly what I was thinking when I first read about the wireless part. Oh well, if it isn't too expensive then I might be in for one.
-
I posted in qtan's subforum asking if he can get these...

I love the easy access to Taobao even though I live a few thousand kilometers from China.
-
I guess I was wrong about people buying 'cause it is wireless.
Anyway, the keyboard allows 2 mode of operation. With and without wire.

Now I'm even more interested, since I would prefer to use it wired.

Go to your favourite translator and read the review.
Keyboard uses 2x AAA batteries.
Battery life quoted by manufacturer is standby time for 60days or full usage for 70-80hours.
-
too bad they didn't include rechargeable batteries for it. Probably ups the costs.
-
Yes, a rechargeable li ion battery would have been nice, with recharge over the usb like some of the newer mice do. Oh well you can always buy rechargeable aaa battery for it.
-
Can I just order this off TaoBao?
-

For sure you can order it, just that who suppose to ship it to you?
BTW, according to their official store(sort of), it is called NEO ZELIA instead of zeba.

Anyone mentioned about POM? BTW, they are from KBC.

I like those ectoplasm / snot color caps. Do they glow in the dark? Looks like that glow in the dark color.
-
These appear to be available on Taobao:

I've asked Obook for a quote.
Edit: I ordered one!

You bet, I plan on doing a full review.
-
hope nobody minds me bumping this thread, just figured i'd share my thoughts on this keyboard.
- feels pretty solid; flexes only when twisted intentionally
- keycaps have uniform lettering (so far); but some are not as textured as others
- rubber feet like the poker, so not adjustable
- doesn't come with batteries, so I have yet to play around with the wireless function

Most of its owners(from China) reported that the wireless range sucks to the core. It can't go anywhere over 3m unblocked...
-
The initial design was for 6Meter range based on what the designer said.
They are moving a 2nd version soon with longer range but shorter battery life
On a side note, here's some pictures of the Winter Special Edition

Ooooooh pretty.
-
I'm assuming you've got Cherry Blacks since this is all that is available at the current time; did you notice any flexing in the PCB towards the center of the board? This is an issue in the Poker that's been corrected in the Pure [I'm assuming this as they've added an additional screw and made a point of it], I just want to know if its present here.
no, no flex towards the center.
-
That looks soo good.
What price is this board?
-
KL bought one via a TaoBao agent for $133. It might be a little cheaper once more widely available but probably not by much.
-
finally got to playing around with the wireless.
edit:
my mistake; it appears that it's not really locking up, just limiting certain key combinations on wireless (e.g. shift+A+W won't work). I guess it works well enough for everyday browsing.
