Anyone with more facts / friction / FUD regarding its OEM, controller, etc., please post. A tear-down would be fantastic.

I know its the same price as a Filco with no street cred.

I think any keyboard with a name like NIGHTHAWK by a manufacturer named MAX is not going to be as good as the simple and elegant Leopold 200r.
I like my Browns more than my Blues.

and the fact that it has an uncanny resemblance to the qpad mk series and the xarmor u9bl.

I invited them to come over and discuss their product here. The specs look good, I think this board ticks a lot of boxes for a lot of people. Build quality is the biggest concern, as well as that controller. Pretty obvious Qtronix at this point.

I hate to keep bumping this, but now that their site is up, they actually offer some decent customization options, along with some extra backlit keycaps. Not sure if I agree with the pricing though, it IS an XArmor.

A little known fact is that this keyboard was used by this guy to win every FPS tournament, ever.

They should've also incorporated the term "EXTREME" in there.  Or "XTREME".

You're right, I should have thrown an XTREME to the MAX! in there.
