Looks exactly like a rebranded XArmor keyboard.  Does it have backlit LEDs?

This looks exactly like a Qpad mk-80 but with red backlighting instead of blue. Had one before, decent board, nothing special.

good source for a cheap board, but the rosewill boards from newegg are better deals on sale (@ 65)

this.
with the rosewill, you get a classic costar-made tank. top build quality... just gotta wait 'till they go on sale, which happens fairly often...
while xarmor boards are hit-and-miss, usually a plasticky cutcorners affair...
