It's REALLY hard to tell from that photo. Do you have a more clear photo?

Hmm maybe not.. it's got windows on the F-keys. Ducky?

Edit: It does look almost identical to a Filco, but the windows on the F-keys do seem Ducky-ish.

very likely a Filco. Not likely a Ducky, judging from the fact that there is no media key above the num pad and that there is indicator light. Ducky's indicator lights are built into the keys instead.

And just so you know, from such photo, NO ONE can be sure. So please, it would be nice if you don't question the credibility of our kind answers to you.

The enter key looks like it might be a Big Ass one. Could be ISO layout.

not seeing the shiny logo rules out the possibility of Filco. But then it is not ducky either.

Here is a chinese documentation of a lot of mechanical keyboard out there (I wouldn't say all of them). See if you can find the most probable one from matching the pictures.

Looks like a steelseries 6gv2 to me. It has some icons underneath the F1-F6 keys which the steelseries also does. Also a white'ish Num lock LED thingy.

Can't be steelseries. It has a big backspace.

Oh crap, it does. Excuse me! The 7G has a small backspace.
I never saw that before.

As soon as I saw the photo I guessed Ukraine for some reason. Turns out I was right. Booyeah!

The real question here is why would you want to know what keyboard that is? Do you want to buy the same keyboard just because that pro (amateur) player uses that?

Silly GeekHackers are silly. Actually when I saw the language I thought it looked Polish but then I saw all these links about Kiev and assumed Ukraine.

So you think you'll inherit their skills by using the same keyboard?

Well, yes and no. A keyboard will most likely not make you any better at a game, but it might make that happen if your old keyboard has had some ghosting or KRO -issues. The biggest pleasure and benefit from a mechanical keyboard comes with typing. I'd even go out to say that I could game on any generic membrane board just fine and not complain about the key feel, because it's not all that important when gaming.

I think going from 2-kro to 6-kro or nkro can improve the way you game in FPS.

Sometimes this is true, and I sort of commented on it in my last post.

Whichever you prefer. The 6kro with USB is enough for anyone but the Chernobyl survivors with 18 fingers.

Agree. They are Steelseries 6Gv2 with BIGass enter and those burn-eye bright leds.

For some reason the logo is erased. Maybe because all their stuff is Qpad? They use rebranded Beyerdinamic MMX 300 by Qpad too.

The led on 6gv2 is not bright at all, in fact it uses led condom.
