Gigabyte Mechanical Keyboard details
« on: Wed, 19 March 2008, 18:43:12 »
I've just noticed gigabyte have put the product page up for their mechanical keyboard, it's here.

Highlights include some amusing engrish, a built in 2 channel soundcard and a single USB port.

It's got a picture of a black cherry keyswitch but it's unmounted.

That pic might not mean too much: The page for Das II has a picture like that and we all know they come with the Cherry blue switches.

You're just gonna need to buy one and let us know ;)

i noticed they found an innovative solution to the age-old debate about how the enter and backslash keys should be.

I hadn't noticed that but it does seem to use the same layout as this. I wonder if they'll use the same translation to UK layout?

Click on the very top picture (the one that enlarges), it has the typical 104 US layout.

$113 USD. There's also a picture in that article showing it using a more normal US layout alongside one showing the other layout.
