TKL market is inflating

kaiserreich · « **Reply #2 on:** Sun, 21 August 2011, 22:40:58 »

Is this a PLU clone or a FILCO clone, or a marriage between FILCO (top) and Ducky (bottom)?

Planned switches for this keyboard:
機械軸：Cherry MX軸-黑軸、茶軸、青軸(台灣不上市)、紅軸(外觀稍微不同)

Translation : MX Black, Brown, Blue, Red (slightly different design)

Looks like a rebranded leopold to me... from the caps lock and scroll lock windows. Also the bottom has the leopold design...

Ducky 1087 has usb connector on the back and not on the bottom

Any indication of pricing?

kaiserreich · « **Reply #4 on:** Sun, 21 August 2011, 23:51:28 »

@OP, can you take close up shots of the PCB and the controller?

@jpm, I got confused to the Ducky 9008 bottom. Seems like Leopold bottom is a better match.

Well, a Leopold with a wire stabilizer, really interesting product from CM. Better than the Razer BW + DragonAge + funny games rebrand that they came up with.

Link to OCNers complaining that it does not have a numpad.

looks quiet good to me but they could have cut back on the logos on the keyboard (why put your logo between ESC and F1?)

The USB connector is at the same place as at the Ducky 9008GK with the same railing for the cable.

I have to doublecheck when i am home from work but the feet and stands seem to be also the same.

iqmore · « **Reply #6 on:** Mon, 22 August 2011, 01:13:49 »

the Keyboard in OCN is the same keyboard. :yo:

There are more than 30 pictures in my review, so I don't copy all the pics to here. :smow:

and.....pricing has not been announced.

CM Storm Quick Fire Rapid doesn't have a numpad. If you need, can wait for CM Strom Trigger.

kaiserreich · « **Reply #7 on:** Mon, 22 August 2011, 01:58:39 »

Yes I know the keyboard at OCN is the same picture, and I know there is another CM storm keyboard with a numpad.

Your pictures have such a low resolution, I think you'd need a CSI pc to see anything with that. Plus I'm just asking for the PCB + controller pics, not all of it

squarebox · « **Reply #8 on:** Mon, 22 August 2011, 03:01:35 »

I see Costare stabilizers, yet another keyboard from Costar?

flaming_june · « **Reply #9 on:** Mon, 22 August 2011, 05:44:58 »

Bravo to CM for fully going into this market.

I lol at the posts on OCN: Doesn't have numpad and too small, therefore do not want

RiGS · « **Reply #10 on:** Mon, 22 August 2011, 07:06:51 »

It has the same nice stabilizer as the TT Meka G1.
If it didn't have that ugly logo on the case and cheap flimsy look I would not hesitate to buy it.

Oh regarding the gold plated USB, it is just another gaming company scam.

RiGS · « **Reply #11 on:** Mon, 22 August 2011, 07:09:26 »

Damn those keys are ugly.

Skylit · « **Reply #12 on:** Mon, 22 August 2011, 07:42:49 »

I think they went overboard with the branding at every viable spot..

Other than that, it looks good. Need a price tho.

RiGS · « **Reply #14 on:** Mon, 22 August 2011, 07:52:28 »

OMG.
I may end up buying this. The inners may fit the case of the Typenow solid.

Bry · « **Reply #15 on:** Mon, 22 August 2011, 08:26:38 »

The TKL looks like it has been massively improved in terms of design compared to the monstrosity of a fullsized board I saw on here a month ago. I wish they'd be a bit less liberal with the logos and the ugly blackwiddow style font though.

500_pts · « **Reply #16 on:** Mon, 22 August 2011, 08:37:16 »

Cant read op's review at work, but the ocn-ers seem to doubt the reds? IIRC we had a cm rep thread here a while back that said switches other than black were on their way for the cm storm series

What about it looks "flimsy" to you? Looks fine to me.

But does it ping?

RiGS · « **Reply #18 on:** Mon, 22 August 2011, 08:45:41 »

I checked the pcb pics it doesn't fit the typnow solid.

The case of the Filco, Leopold, Steelseries appears to be better built than this one.
Just check the foldable legs etc.

keyboardlover · « **Reply #19 on:** Mon, 22 August 2011, 08:49:56 »

Define "better".

If your criticism isn't objective than you're basically trolling the OP.

The case of the Filco, Leopold, Steelseries look much better than this one.

Looks nearly identical to a filco case. Plastics used and all. Obviously different design with detachable usb, probably horrible keycaps, etc. , but definetly comparable in terms of build quality. Which must answer kl's question. Ping!

keyboardlover · « **Reply #21 on:** Mon, 22 August 2011, 09:36:00 »

How can you tell build quality is comparable without seeing more close-up and internal pics?

Edit: nvm, just saw the website.

mbc · « **Reply #22 on:** Sun, 28 August 2011, 15:29:14 »

270 Euros?

HaiiYaa · « **Reply #23 on:** Sun, 28 August 2011, 19:42:22 »

Looks cheaply made so hopefully we can finally get affordable tenkeyless iso keyboards in my country instead of paying 200$ for filcos

reaper · « **Reply #24 on:** Mon, 29 August 2011, 00:31:08 »

Man, those media keys are ugly and what's up with putting their logo everywhere.

Also lol @ CM keycaps. =D

If it's less than $100 then I just might get one. =P

redpill · « **Reply #25 on:** Mon, 29 August 2011, 00:39:34 »

Wouldn't look bad if you can throw a blank set of keycaps on there (including space bar). Otherwise the legends are unbearable. The two case logos I could deal with, and I like the case color.

I would also probably want to replace that space bar....

NT$2490 for MX black
NT$2790 for MX Red
10 Taiwan dollars = 0.34459 U.S. dollars

Very cheap

squarebox · « **Reply #28 on:** Mon, 29 August 2011, 11:42:46 »

I wonder if it's made by Strongman, Costar or others?
From the looks of the stabilizer bar, most probably made by Costar but then again when did Costar make mechanical keyboards with LEDs.

Mionix Zibal on the other hand is most-likely a custom board with LEDs based on Costar design.

Everything about it is ugly but if it keeps those prices when it reach here in Europe, I'm getting one

Need more Noppoo Choc Mini layout keyboards!!

Iknorite · « **Reply #31 on:** Sun, 18 September 2011, 06:07:53 »

The one with reds would make a neat gaming board. Would have to buy a new keycap-set + paint over the cm logos though. =)

squarebox · « **Reply #32 on:** Sun, 25 September 2011, 06:26:46 »

I just received mine too.

It is 99% that it's OEM from Costar.
It uses Costar stabilizer and the same labeling for their keycap rows.
The top case is rubber-coated though...

Those who miss their chance at the Filco R TKL. This is your second chance to get it.

I was suprised how fast and cheap my Poker shipped. I figure it's because there's a high frequency of postage from China to the US/EUR/AUS.

probably comes down to if you like costar or cherry stablizers on the bigger keys.....

Besides that from the reviews I've read both quality products but the CM does have the logos also if that bothers you.

The one from Filco fits perfectly on CM Storm.
