is there anything that sets this apart from other 60%?
Is it PCB or plate mount?I second this. Could you post some pics of the naked keyboard without keycaps?
Does it use Cherry stabilizers, or Costar style stabs?
It uses Cherry stabs

That's what I figured, but when I heard "made by Costar" it made me wonder.
You said the keyboard is made by Costar, but a few months back, the developer said it uses Cherry stabilizers. Does it use Cherry stabilizers, or Costar style stabs?

Yea, its a bit strange
You said its firmware is upgradable, I'd like to know if we can flash custom firmware to it or not, and if that is the case, what controller is on it?

Stabs can't help you to determine this keyboard comes from which manufacture.
Using what part to assemble is decided by brand, not OEM.

^I would like to know this also^
I like the case, and the triple access to arrows, left, right, and ala Poker X. Now I should reconsider the decision I had almost took to get a new Poker II, because I do not like the lack of a switchable fixed cluster of arrows of the Poker II that this one has. I use that cluster a lot in my Poker X. However, I may miss the option to upgrade the case due to the different positions of the screws in this one.

Yep, it seems that V60 is plate-based from the reference link.
For those who are looking at co-star stabilizer for V60, you would be disappointed.
I emailed Rabbit Web Factory and got to know that despite being manufactured by co-star, V60 is using cherry stabilizer instead of co-star stabilizer.

Too bad it doesn't compatible with poker case, otherwise I might give a try.
Maybe you can consider V60. It seems that online reviews on this keyboard is pretty good. I think this is because V60 has the same contract manufacturer as Filco, which is co-star.As it isn't compatible with poker case, I am thinking to get ducky mini instead.
Price wise, it's quite decent.

Said again, the parts "stabs" are not particular to be recognized this keyboard comes from which manufacturer.
In Taiwan, those stabs are used in plated PCB design, not purely called cherry stab.

Are all Costar PCB's blue? I know that Filco's are.
I'm trying to hold off until the V60 MTS comes out, but I'll probably break down and buy one of these when MK.com gets them back in stock.
By the way, does anyone happen to know what's the weight of V60?

What kind of case is that and where did you get it? I've been planning on getting a mechanical keyboard for quite some time now and the Tex you have looks absolutely stunning.
That's TEX Beetle's original case. This company is near to my place. :p
Here are my Beetles

Dear God.... they're beautiful. Do you think a guy like me who lives in the states could be able to get his hands on a blue Tex Beetle?

Hard, blue ones seems out of stock. Maybe you can ask mechanicalkeyboards.com
More people ask about, more chance to make them deal this.
