Title: Who made this one?
Post by: pochiko on Sat, 02 March 2013, 15:37:39

Hello, guys.  :)
I'm new to mechanical keyboard world and plan to get one next month.

My friend just send me this pic
(http://www.uppic.com/uploads/13622588561.png) (http://www.uppic.com/)

The board come with cherry mx black, can store 5 macro profile, illuminated, and n key roll over usb.
With so many functions at around 90 usd, so I think this one is bang for the buck!

He said this one made by their country own brand but, if I remembered correctly,  I saw other board that look like this before.
So I wonder which brand/model which I saw.
If the one who made this board is trusted by you guys, I think it safe for me to get this one!  ;D

Looks identical to Max Keyboard Nighthawk X7, X8, X9 to me - http://www.maxkeyboard.com/mechanical-keyboard.html

Yes it's just another rebrand of X Y Z keyboards made by iOne. I would avoid it like the plauge.

Thought it looked a lot like the QF Pro, too.

Though I heard the Qpad and Max Keyboard's iteration are a bit better than the rest.  But I have no proof I just heard this based on user review.

Thank you for your answers and suggestions.  ;)

TBH, when I know this one is made by IOne, I wanna say bye right away.
Eventhough I never own or use IOne's board before, from their reputation, I don't wanna try my luck or play rma lottery.

Look like I have to wait for QFR Stealth or hope some distributors import some decent boards.  :(
