What's The Deal With Magicforce?
« on: Sun, 26 February 2017, 09:37:33 »
I'm currently in the Massdrop drop for the "Magicforce 21-Key Mechanical Numpad". Today, the Magicforce82 was also announced, which perfectly matches this numpad, except that I ordered my numpad in blue LED instead of white. I like the layout as well except for the weird bottom row.

A few questions:
1. Does anyone know if this keyboard is planned to be released outside of Massdrop? I am interested, but I would rather spend my money on other things in the near future.
2. Does anyone know if there are plans to release the keyboard with different LED colors. It's odd that the numpad had a choice of white or blue, but the keyboard is white only.
3. Are Qisan and Magicforce the same thing? Qisan comes up on Amazon when I search for this.

Basically, I'm wondering if this will eventually be commercially available outside of Massdrop since I don't want to buy it *now*. I think round one buyers should be getting their boards later this week, so maybe I should just hold off until I see pics/reviews of those.
Maybe they're waiting for gasmasks and latex to get sexy again.

The world has become a weird place.

They show up on taobao pretty frequently, IIRC. I think I've seen them on MK.com before as well.

Chinese brands love their LEDs, so I'd put it down as a "yes but be patient."

No idea. Could be the Chinese sister brand.
