KBParadise: Have you ever heard of them?
« on: Thu, 20 February 2014, 09:14:52 »
Hey guys, we have come across a keyboard company out there, and we are wondering, has anyone had dealings with them, or does anyone own one? If so, please do tell (and show)!

One day , when V60 is more popular , this won't be a trouble point.

A few hurdles your going to have to overcome

1) Most everyone has already purchased an aluminum case for a 60% layout so if you PCB won't fit then they won't be interested.

2) Price, unless it is competitive I don't see any reason why people would buy this board versus any other.

3) The dual backlighting is a nice gimick but only offering red+blue and blue+green, meh.


thanks for your suggestion.
We consider to design same screw holes to fit Poker at beginning. But engineer thank that it will be easlier for workers to screw from back side instead of front side. Save much working hours and save lead time. One day , when V60 is more popular , this won't be a trouble point.

I understand! Developing a new product like this can be expensive already, without adding additional constraints. Good luck!

I guess we will see...

FWIW, in my opinion, it looks like a Stock Pure with a Poker layout. I don't really see anything different other than they'll have a PCB that supports Matias/Alps switches.
