Never heard of Solid Year, good OEM?
I remember people didn't know they were an OEM.
-
Judging by the boards they've made... clearly not.

I wonder what KUL uses.

I've heard nothing bad about them except LED dying problems.

Datacomp Electronics Co., Ltd

Is it really fair to blame the OEM when the client isn't more concerned with production numbers and cost than quality?

Somebody other than the end-user should be accountable. The OEM's quality controls should eliminate defects. The client's quality controls should reject defects. I guess most clients aren't too concerned unless it drives their brand down and their RMA costs up.
Interesting that every brand advertises some claim towards sparing no expense in emphasizing quality, but so few (if any) actually bother to inspect and test OEM-shipped units before placing them into their own packaging. Alibaba's FOB prices for "high end" (and high cost) keyboards run as little as six bucks per unit, provided you order many hundreds at a time. I would kinda expect a client to put a little more effort into justifying a $120-$200+ markup than merely gluing on a brand sticker and stuffing it all into a pretty box with some mediocre software.
Interesting that Costar, maker of many lesser gaming junkboards, also made my Das.

Seems they only make non-standard bottom row boards...
I would steer clear of them, iOne and i-Rocks.
Strongman, Costar and Datacomp seem to be the best of the OEM manufacturers, although I still prefer companies that make their own boards.

Like what?
Cherry?

Thermaltake Meka [G-Unit] is identified as Solid Year (looking at USB HID id) as well. I suppose i-Rocks could actually be an ODM (they sold a similar looking keyboard after all), but I have no idea.

Razer is ****, they've always been ****, they're always gonna be ****.. FK RAZER...

KBT, Vortex and Ducky at least make some of them in-house AFAIK.

Oh that's interesting.
You ever tried the new Vortex boards?
I think it's Type-M and Type-S?

I can wholeheartedly agree with 50% of this. Razer has always seemed like a company that cares more about justifying their prices with branding than with quality. And the fact that in order to use all the functionality of their keyboards, customers must create an online account so that they can be datamined by Razer puts Razer at the top of my worst keyboard company list.
