Which switches?
The switchlock on the topleft is for Unix user(think so)
The FN for media function

USB NKRO

Does that mean NKRO when using USB to PS2 adapter ?

I'm not usually a fan of the layouts on these smaller keyboards, but that's actually pretty decent.

Will the final board also have pad printed keys?

No need for adapter
i-rocks named it as NKRO-PRO
means NKRO under USB interface

Switches: Cherry brown, blue, black
No company is selling ALPS switches keyboard in China now
They are all using Cherry MX

Wow that is the first time i heard of NKRO-PRO. I'll google more about it thanks.

So with NKRO Pro, does that mean usb has no weaknesses against PS2 ?


@ripster

Yes add it.

That's pretty sweet. But where are Home and End (and Ins)? On the Fn'ed layer? I would rather have dedicated Home and End keys and get rid of Scroll Lock and Pause instead.

The form factor looks and layout looks wonderful. I hope the build quality is up to snuff. Why are people so hung up about the 6 key rollover limit on USB? I can't imagine a reason why you would need more (aside from extremely specialized applications).
