Their other board was iOne, but we know nothing about this one- it's brand new.

Post by: tp4tissue on Mon, 01 October 2012, 20:34:58: has to be ione.

notice the 64key roll over description is the same as the one form their ione backlite board.

This is just the ghetto NON blacklite version :))

But, ione, still a no go ...

Probably nothing, but the rosewills go on sale for $64 often, and they are a much better deal.

Cylindrical shaped keytops??

That means normal keycaps. You probably notice the tops of your keys are slightly rounded, but only in one direction, like a cylinder. The only other types of keys I've ever seen are flat (chicklet keys) or spherical, which are like scoops.

Post by: asdf on Wed, 03 October 2012, 16:08:08: Actually, it looks a lot like an iOne board (I'm calling it now)

Post by: m00nshake on Wed, 03 October 2012, 18:11:28: If it's anything like the monoprice black mx I had for a very brief time, which it looks to be in the picture, it's Ione.
