Looks like a site reviewed this keyboard,
http://www.overclockersclub.com/reviews/thermaltake_meka_g1/
If your interested here's the link.
Main highlights are usb hub
Sound port extenders
Cherry Black MX
FN key in left windows key position to deal with media

I'm just amazed it's not a flashy/hideous Razer lookalike.
-
Nice submicrons of gold on dem connectors though.
Your Supermanesque eyes never fail to amaze me.
When you see a fly passing by. Can you tell if it's a he or a she?

Apparently - "the Thermaltake Meka is a rebranded i-Rocks KR-6230. the i-Rocks KR-6230 uses Cherry MX Brown switches. the Thermaltake Meka uses Cherry MX Black Linear switches."
i-rocks KR6230 (http://www.i-rocks.com/Product_detail.aspx?CLASS_ID=1056&PRODUCT_ID=1201)
The i-Rocks is about 40% cheaper... If you can find one. Not sure the extra $ worth the black MX and a bunch of cables wrapped together.

Those are actually big turn offs for me...
-
The KR6230 had the worst layout ever.

By "?" are you questionning the statement?
-
It's a "Bigger Penis" feature since gamers know OCN buyers know bigger cables = bigger penis.
Yeah but I don't think wrapping a bunch of penises together qualifies as a bigger penis. It's just a bunch of small ****s hanging together.
I'm a gamer and I don't find anything exiting in that idea. Actually, I always though my boards were females.
-
By "?" are you questionning the statement?
Yes, since they are clearly different boards.
-
You've summed up OCN quite nicely there.
Now excuse my French (litteraly)... I don't know what OCN stands for.
If I have to choose from the Wikipedia list
"OCN is a three letter abbreviation that stands for:
Oncology Certified Nurse
Open Computer Network, a major Internet Service Provider in Japan
Open College Network
Open Cubicle Network, a news network targeted towards the New York City area.
Opaskwayak Cree Nation
Orange County Newschannel, a defunct cable television news network targeted toward Orange County, California
Original Camera Negative, the film stock used in a movie camera
Orion Cinema Network, a Korean cinema network by On-Media
Originally called number, the phone number of the originally called party, regardless of call redirection.
Operating company number, in telephony, a number assigned by the National Exchange Carrier Association (NECA) to telecommunications carriers (including landline, wireless carriers, and resellers of various types)
Overclock.net, a forum for computer enthusiasts.
OCN may also refer to:
The chemical formula for a cyanate ion
The NYSE Symbol for Ocwen Financial Corporation
The IATA airport code for Oceanside Municipal Airport"
I'd say you refer to OverClock.Net
-
According to my keyboard, it means "Overclock.net" as you have highlighted.
(I tried to take a pic of this, but my cellphone camera won't resolve the logo. Oh well.)
-
Yes, since they are clearly different boards.
Except for all the differences, they are identical.
Uncyclopedia (http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page) - "TT G1 board had to be enlarged due to the width of the main cable. The resulting extra estate made it possible to include a full numeric pad while keeping the original KR6230 design."
-
I bought this board a couple weeks ago when I first wanted to make the plunge into mechanical, and ultimately ended up returning it. Routing the cable is like routing an anaconda, and the cherry black ended up not being what I was looking for. I do have to say though, in my limited experience of mechanical keyboards, the keys themselves were very nice and the build quality top notch. Also, I can legitimately see a big bonus for having sound routing up to the keyboard for closer headphone jacks, but for me it doesn't matter since I have a close audio controller that I plug into anyways.
Not a bad board overall I wouldn't say, it's just very hate it or like it in terms of functionality.

That's a pretty sweet setup. This is off topic now, but do you telling me what headset that is? Looks nice, and I am looking since I only have headphones at this stage. And the stand? I have always considered getting a tidy headphone setup like this, but haven't looked into it.

I have one of these, I like it actually.
The cherry black keys are definitely better for gaming in my opinion than my filco with the cherry blues.
