I am guessing they call it that because of the price point? Oh... it's because it's uniform. LOL.
Anyway, those are some good prices =).

Red LEDs is the real differentiator I guess...

Non-EK Edition:

EK Edition:

EK Edition also doesn't come with the lavender WASD keys it seems.

Don't feel too bad.  WASD will have fullsize and tenkeyless Cherry MX Clear boards at the end of they year.

I will be buying one, I think that the WASD chassis is fulgy, too rounded and the bezel is pretty big!
