That seems like a very exclusive keyboard... red casing and black switches.
Some kind of limited edition ?

I believe it was an LE item yes.



Oh well. I may have to go either pony up and buy it from overseas, or just buy an all black one.

Funnily enough, EliteKeyboards have it on their products page, but otherwise it's nowhere to be seen (I didn't really go deep though).

Probably didn't sell well enough to justify having more. Like the pink ones...

Maybe there was an issue with the keyboard and Majestouch decided not to offer it any longer.

Hardly. It's just the same thing with a different colour outer case. I'd say demand issues were to blame.

Maybe the color rubs off after a short period of use.

I recall at some point someone discovering different colour cases available for these keyboards from some third party, and there was a red one...I don't think it was the genuine one but second best is still good.

Anyone else remember that?

Better ensure it's red plastic or at least dyed and they didn't just slap some pigment on to a neutral colored housing.
