Looks pretty sleek. Probably won't be seeing this for a while though.

Looks like a good looking full size keyboard... curious to see how they will try to make it better.

Jesus, a keyboard from a gaming brand that doesn't yells "GAAAAMING" on its appearance and font, isn't backlit, but looks elegant as hell and even has standard sized modifier keys?

Feenix, you've earned our respect.

Wasn't there just a thread (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=47024.0) about this?

Personally, I'm not sure I see the point of it.

Thanks for linking back to the original post, but I think there's always room for another mechanical keyboard, especially one as good looking as this.

I just hope it will be offered with clears.

backlit is not a problem, if you don't want backlit you just don't activate it, or price bump is the problem for u when it comes to backlit boards?

No, the price is just about the same. The thing is, the keycaps for most backlit mechanical keyboards are just terrible, the only ones that do have decent keycaps are some custom korean keyboards, Déck keyboards and a few others (such as a PBT backlit set from KBT I saw a few weeks ago).

The keycaps on my Corsair K70, CM Storm Trigger and Tt Meka G-Unit (which has some backlit keys) feels like crap when compared to my Das Keyboard (old Costar model) and are even worse when compared to a good custom set of PBT keycaps.

Looks like a Filco contender for me, even though I'm more of a tkl guy I should probably get a fullsize board sooner or later

I love how they did the LEDs vertically instead of horizontally and offset them to the far right.  Looks dope.

theres finally more information on the autore keyboard on Feenix's website http://www.feenixcollection.com/autore.html (http://www.feenixcollection.com/autore.html). Still no price though. Leads me to believe its either going to be really expensive, or they maybe just havent decided yet?

That's one sleek looking keyboard (liking the minimalism and dat font). Would be nice if there's a TKL version.

Though I'm sure it'll be expenssive. :rolleyes:

Well price is not really an issue if you have high quality caps and case since you wouldn't have to replace them.

Now if only they would come with stock ergo clears :p
