Found this today. Thought it looks cool but what are all of your opinions?

Think I saw a post earlier about it. They seem to be decent, but I'm not sure if anyone here has gotten one or reviewed one.

I like the doubleshot. The keyboard itself is not that pretty.

ABS or PBT keycaps?

Is this another iOne-ish keyboard?

It looks ok-ish, but rather expensive
This sucks more than anything that has ever sucked before.

if you consider its backlit and has doubleshot keycaps the price isnt that bad.

It doesn't look that bad to me. Although, I don't really care for the Leds on the side. I barely care for leds under keys now lol.
Who is this OEM by?

Going by the Cherry Stablizers and bottom row, it does not look like iOne? I'm going to ask our purchasing manager to ask MAX but I don't expect there will be any quick answers, we may just have to wait until someone cracks it open...

Looks pretty cool.  Doubleshot keycaps, no gaudy logos, and USB hub.  notbad.jpg
