BTW, no switch choice, no ISO layout nor nationalized version, no additional features, like an handy volume knob.

Its only advantage is the availability in Europe and the black switches (which i don't like) are a good choice for gamers.

Yep, DEFINITELY looks better than the Razer, Xarmor and Deck Legend.

Combined.


Way better than Razer and Deck.

Not worse and not better than Xarmor, just different.

Does it keeps its LED's setup between reboots?

Deck does
XArmor doesn't

I am assuming the left windows key has been replaced with a function type key allowing media control via the F keys ?

Also what are the F11 and F12 function options. LED brightness maybe on F11, F12 ?

The Zibal 60 has no memory so I cannot see how it would remember what colour mode it was in, and it is so easy to change stuff on the keyboard itself.

Left "windows key" has been replaced by the Mionix Action key which allows access to all media and function keys

F12 changes the lighting modes On, Off and WASD

Not being pedantic but the excerpt below taken from the downloaded Zibal presskit on your website has a mistake as shown below in bold.

Mionix - graphical profile v1.pdf

Quote
tag line
The tag line is a elemental part of Mionix logotype. The
tag line should not be used as a single element with
the exepction of a footer or header in documents.


I assume it should read exception.

Should also read: an elemental rather than a elemental.

I think that red swtches would have been the best choice ever for fps gamers that also want to use it as a real keyboard. Not so many people like Black switches.
Again the same question: no plan for any other kind of switches? Red or Clear ? (or brown at the limit)

Well, the Deck has no memory either but will maintain its state as long as there is power. Most computers today keep their ports powered even when the computer is off.

Both XArmor and Deck remain lit when the computer is turned off. But the XArmor shots the del off as soon as Windows restarts.

Am I right to think the Zibal will behave like the XArmor?

XArmor is only a generic keyboard with a label stickt on it. It's the same as the QPad keyboard and some other ones. I don't give a sh.. to generic keyboard not developped by the brand itself.

Hmmm, I may well be in the minority but I use my left windows key a lot.

Although I hated with a passion the Razer keyboard I had a while back it was a nice feature being able to disable and enable the left windows key rather than removing the possibility altogether.

In saying that the board looks good. Backlit, cherry black, 6KRO and ISO UK were the main features I was looking for in adding to my ever expanding mechanical keyboard collection.

The question is do I want to pay 150 Euros, at this point I am not sure.

Light, lite, call it whatever you want. Basically a stripped down version of it. Like the Razer Blackwidow, there's the regular version with no backlight, USB ports or audio jacks and the ultimate version with those features. Will there be a Z60 without the USB ports and audio jacks, and no backlight if necessary, on it in the future? To me those features are useless and only result in a cost that is higher than I'd be interested in paying for a board that will only be used every now and then.

You guys make awesome products and I would love to support you more than just owning a Propus mousepad BUT your mice aren't very tall for people with large hands to use comfortably. Once you come out with a tall mouse I'd pick that up ASAP...build quality of the Naos 3200 was fantastic and I'd love a mouse in the shape but as high as a Logitech MX518.

Also, every 'mainstream' manufacturer has a full size keyboard...why don't you come out with a tenkeyless keyboard? Tenkeyless with a Filco build quality and green backlighting I'd gladly pay $160 for!

@Mionix
Will it have NKRO if you plug it in with a USB -> PS/2 adapter?


I thought the usb 6KRO issue was a microsoft windows limitation resolved in widows 7 SP1 ?

*EDIT* Sorry I am incorrect a different issue was resolved.

I don't see how a backlit and black switches could help it to top the Zowie Celeritas...
Still we don't have the answer to the question if it's a full Mionix developped product or a rebranded and repacked generic...

Is there really no light leakage around the keys on this board or are these pics 'shopped?

I like the marketting statement
Rage proof durability

Then you read the Warranty pitch right besides it

WARRANTY INFORMATION
Warranty for Mionix products only covers defects
caused by manufacturing. The warranty does not
cover defects caused by any kind of usage that is
not attributable to the manufacturing process.

A bit dissapointed really. The keyboard does look good, but the black switches make it a non-starter, I would much prefer if it was offered with brown, red or blue switches and could definately do without the usb/audio ports, with the price adjusted down accordingly.

Alas, it seems noone wants to make a simple, yet goodlooking basic mechanical keyboard with backlighting but without any other additional features.
