Anyone know anything about this?
« on: Wed, 17 September 2008, 20:42:25 »
I was looking at a logitech gaming mouse on newegg and they had a combo deal with this keyboard:

The word "mechanical" caught my eye, so I checked it out.  I took a look and it looks almost exactly like a Filco other than the brand logo.  It appears that they make a tactile and linear version (Newegg is selling the tactile version).

Looks like something made by the OEM Costar.

The instruction leaflet shows what looks like an ALPS switch.

The Costar page shows that it can be built with either Cherry MXs or Alps.  The manual and the box definitely show an Alps switch.
