so are these manufacturers releasing the same iOne (or is it Costar?) just with different colors etc??

Can't be Costar based on the Windows key size and its style, but yeah, seems like just one of the many modifications of the iOne Scorpius U9BL...

QPAD already sells one of them, it was just a matter of time before Func also did.

I don't trust any manufacturer if all they can put are digital renderings of their new products. You'd think they'd want to show their actual products in all their glory if they had them. Maybe eventually.

Here's an idea. Use all these human resources routed to Marketing in the development of better switches. That way the keyboard community will appreciate it, at least the novelty of it, and it will generate more profits than trying to fool children they're going to auto-cheat over their friends in gaming.

It reminds me of the two ships in Hitchhiker's guide to the Galaxy. The Marketing one was probably too small.

 I'm already irritated by the fact the market has basically 2 or 3 available switches technologies and they all seem mismanaged either in technology or in openness. More players are needed in switches development, not in the development of ..the same product with different colors on its plastic cover.

I am in agreement with you, but just rehashing what everyone else is doing by purchasing ugly keyboards from an OEM sure does seem easier.
