That looks like an iONE board to me. Anyone have any idea?

Buy one, open it up and tell us.

Regardless of whether or not it's iONE, it seems to have gotten very positive reviews overall.

You'd probably get more sleep in the long run if you coded up a bot to mirror SD.

I wouldn't have been able to sleep much earlier tonight anyways since I was up late doing school work. And this I saw from my Newegg subscriber email. Also, I don't stay up every night til the crack of dawn ogling for deals.

I don't think it's an iOne. It has 1.25-1-1.25-7-1.25-1-1-1.25 bottom row which isn't typical of iOne at all, they use 1.5 and 6 spacebar. I would bet it's made by i-rocks, they love doing weird non standard combinations like that while otherwise generally seem to make a good quality.

Not a bad price for an illuminated Cherry Brown board.

Wow Ivan, you really have good eyes to figure out that 7. But I guess more reason not to buy this keyboard; you're not going to get a replacement set of keycaps easily.

I wish I could call my keyboard Poseidon, definitely should be listed as a selling point.

I snagged one on impulse...already have a das and leopold browns but could use some backlighting and media keys...keep or refuse package?

edit: Kept it - I really like the keyboard, but there is a loud metallic pang every time I bottom out. Would o-rings or landing pads work well to eliminate that?
