Title: Flashget G600 on www.v-dxd.com is this a legit site?
Post by: ITzNybble on Tue, 09 April 2013, 11:49:12: Hey all,

I am looking at possibly buying the Flashget G600 and then getting some custom key caps for it but ran across this website. Has anyone used this website or know if it is legitimate to order from? I really like that the keyboard has a metal case and the Corsair look. If I do get this I will definitely write up a review as I have not seen one around here.

Thanks for the help.

Once you add in shipping, it's not that much less than the ones on eBay, which are the newer "Battle Version"-- which appears to include additional media control functions and an extra whole set of keycaps.

Sorry about not posting on this for a while. I ended up not using this website or buying the board at all yet. But the website just seemed sketchy to me so I said neigh.
