Also claims to be USB n-key on the box and the first English promotion banners with the funny emoticons. Anyway, so far no one confirmed it yet.

Hmm... Maybe they use the Microsoft X4 method to achieve NKRO...
But ghosting occurs after 11 keys , IIRC

I doubt people will use more than 7-10 simultaneously :x

As long as ghosting won't affect that many simultaneous presses i feel it's a success :}

The keyboard looks nice and those round lights aren't so bad lighted up :/ i see that now; but i don't like the many colors going on with the labeling.

I prefer colorings like this that look much nicer

The only complaint is the inconsistent lettering on the keycaps, but, for that price, it is really something worth buying. Are there colorful POM keycaps? I don't think so...

This is the old (prototype?) version from before they changed the printing and keycap material. Its pad printed, not backlit.

TaoBao seems to be short on the Brown switch which sells for 70RMB ($10) more.

I finally got my choc mini blue and brown. both dont feel quite right, dont know exactly whats bothering me. will do some tests with swapping the keycaps.

i consider to mod the blue to red, but want to test out the layout a little more first.
