Title: CM Storm Trigger - Available in Taiwan.

Price is ~135 for the MX red, so probably ~140-150 or so when it launches in the States.
Keyboard itself is old news. Looks like Razer with new shell (probably from iOne as well). It's backlit in red for those that care about such things. 6KRO. It has onboard memory for macro (Tesoro I believe is from the same OEM has this feature as well).

The only good part is it had a normal 7 1.25x modifiers keys and 6.25x modifiers spacebar on the bottom row.

BTW, no mention of ps2 support? Yet another Razer BW...

This is so gonna be banned at competition, the fact that it can carry out onboard macros

Interesting that they reversed the number row to support the backlight, but didn't reverse the punctuation keys.  I think they should have just reversed the switch/led orientation while keeping normal legend orientation... Wonder how odd that would look tho.

I still say it would have been better if they just cut all the childish aesthetic crap and went for a simpler cmstorm qfire rapid like form factor. Probably would have also saved them a lot of design cost. It looks horrible in my opinion.

I'm not a fan of the styling.  I think I'll stick with my QuickFire Rapid as my main keyboard.

Yeah, it is probably something worse, a Razer BWU.

I would buy it over the bwu.

I'd rather have red than blue lighting, matte over glossy, 6kro over 2kro (all special and non stealth versions), comparatively subtle logos vs razer backlit.

its not razer with a new shell, sigh...
different pcb, different balancers, different metal plate, different keycaps, different keycap coating....

sigh... nevermind...
im not sure where the tesoro is made, but its different from trigger...
interesting tho, never heard of them before...

Some sources claimed that Trigger(newer batches) is actually from Costar, may be that will explain all those differences, especially the NOT using of 1.5x modifiers for ALT and CTRL.

I said looks like. So it is has all these different stuff inside, but it is still a full layout with 5 macros on the left. Keycaps and coating... Ya ok.

he didnt even ask... whats your point?

if razer would suddenly make the BW at costar, it would make it a better keyboard becaaauuuuseee...? :)

Don't you think people shouldn't be notified when there may be a change in manufacturer from the boards they already know and love?
I am sure Razer would find a way to make it suck.
