Looks like a Steelseries 6v2 with switches besides red and black.

Is this new? I've always been surprised not seeing Samsung in the market, but then maybe they've been selling them in Korea for quite awhile.

I think it is recentish. I spotted it also the other day on ebay (http://www.ebay.com/itm/Samsung-Mechanical-Pro-Gamer-keyboard-Hardware-8-KEY-Cherry-Mx-blue-N-Key-Ro-/160977983921?pt=PCA_Mice_Trackballs&hash=item257b0919b1). Too bad about the abomination of an enter. Otherwise it looks like a pretty nice full size.

Interesting if they're using the 6 different key-profiles in the picture...

Large enter is okay, perhaps even slightly positive to me, but small backspace is a definite negative.

I also don't see it being worth what it costs to get it in the US; there just isn't much of a unique selling point that I can identify.

Similar to the 6gv2 but more compact. After using 60% keyboards I can't see myself going back to another fullsize again.
