Video showing some of the features of the multi LED backlighting

Is this overkill?

Flashy keyboard is flashy.
Overkill? I dunno but it seems to be a trend where every single thing must have LED's to be considered "cool."

Ohhh I like how they finally found a way to throw in multicolor LED into mechanical keyboard switches.  Which will save a lot of hassle carrying all kinds of different models with different color LEDs.

Now they just need 4 models.  MX Blue, Brown, Red, Black and that's it.

Which is smart BUT I'm still not sure if I would buy it mainly because it's Tesoro  :P

Hmn, you know the second thing I noticed after the disco lights? All the mods are 1.25, so maybe not iOne oem. If so that is GOOD.

Looks suspiciously like a Xarmor / Qpad in a different housing. Similar packaging, similar key cap font, similar backlighting effects.

It IS an iOne board.

Edit: I've heard rumor that it is a house brand of iOne.

Anyone else notice at 1:45 he hits the E key and the kanji key lights up? And what's that giant box on the back?
