I have only found one post regarding this keyboard. And i have found one available in my country for a relatively cheap price.

How it looks like
Layout wise, its standard 87 key ANSI

One thing im really suprised by this keyboard is the fact that it uses costar stabalizers, I dont believe any other led backlit keyboards have this

Included wrist rest
And as far as typing goes, its really nice to type on. Feels about as good as a filco. The platemounted blues give it a real solid feel. Leds are pretty good, no excessively bright or dim leds. And keycaps are pretty standard for backlit keyboards.

TL;DR
Its a real solid board and give its price. Its very good for a full led keyboard.

I don't understand... QFR and Filco have costar stabilizers. Perhaps this keyboard is also manufactured by Costar.
-
I like the blue and yellow LED combination!
My next backlit would probably be a toss-up between these two colours.

Quickfire TK uses Costar stabilizers. Completely backlit. So does the Storm Trigger.

Oh em gee, I had them backwards. That's really weird, though, considering that CM is made by Costar.

Only some models of coolermaster keyboards are made by costar like the Quickfire Rapid

I had the MKA-3 myself, sold it off a while back......NOT that it was faulty or bad quality, far from it, was getting a tad tired of MX Red. It was well-built, evenly lit LED throughout, key caps were actually pretty good, no shine after a period of use, can't say the same for the key caps on the Trigger. I didn't know the MKA-3 was available in Blues......interesting.

Gotta say, that's the most badass name ever though. True metal.
-
Called black hornet. Blue and yellow LEDs. Picture of an eagle. Checks out. Or is that a hornet on the space bar?
-
how much?
-
Anything with yellow LEDs gotta be good :D
-
Anything with yellow LEDs gotta be good :D
technically its orange :3

Hmmm with LEDs sometimes it is difficult to tell.
Still, I like orange too, just not quite as much as yellow.
-
how much did you pay for it?
-
i'm confused about the hornet part as well.. that does not look like a hornet.. it just looks like a black squiggle.
Still, Cool keyboard... (http://www.cute-factor.com/images/smilies/onion/04a97f13.gif)

how much did you pay for it?
Paid 80 Singapore Dollars
-
those X-Amour/MaxKeyboard are also backlit costa I believe
-
So what exactly makes this a gaming keyboard? Pls don't say the LEDs.

Just by using cherry mx switches , it is advertised as a 'Gaming' Keyboard

Wut about it?
-
that is a very nice keyboard, and great inclusion of a wrist rest that's not just a wedge of hard plastic.
The where to buy on their website doesn't have any countries near me :(
edit: the StrikeEagle MKI-3 looks familiar, so who is the OEM for the Hornet?

Hmm im not too sure , but my gut says it uses the same OEM as the CODE keyboards
-
The Strike Eagle is the same as those Genius boards that use the 3rd party cherry-like reds.
The site pretty much says so with the "affordable mech switches" comment.
it's not a bad thing though.
