New Keyboard From Thermaltake
« on: Mon, 07 March 2011, 03:20:52 »

Now where have we seen this layout before?

According to here: http://www.vortez.net/articles_pages/cebit_2011_tt_esports_show_black_elementchallenger_ultimatemeka,1.html

- 1000Hz polling rate
- Cherry MX Black switches
- Anti-ghost key design
- 2 x USB ports for other devices
- Smart cable management
- 1.8m braided cable with gold plated USB connector

Oh yay! Another victim of the Razer effect!

Except that it's missing the navigation part (or whatever that arrow cluster is called).

Meka is rebrand, Meka G1 looks like rebrand...

Now someone tell me G1 Unit is also a clone?

It shares its layout with that I-Rocks board. Note that the ?/ and the right shift key are swapped?

- Smart cable management


I just noticed this feature. Anyone know what this means exactly? Or is it just some marketing bull****?

There is groove under board which you can rout your cable... So if you absolutely must get it go from right or left end of board...

That's actually a smart feature, but usually the most convenient place for the cable seems to be on the back of the keyboard rather than the side of it.
