56$
About the only thing they say is that it has blues. Not even a picture!

I will bet it's a CM Storm

Almost worth it just for the switches

if you like blues

SmallFry · « **Reply #4 on:** Mon, 01 October 2012, 17:57:30 »

I think that iOne manufactures these...IIRC.

Their other board was iOne, but we know nothing about this one- it's brand new.

tp4tissue · « **Reply #6 on:** Mon, 01 October 2012, 20:34:58 »

has to be ione.

notice the 64key roll over description is the same as the one form their ione backlite board.

This is just the ghetto NON blacklite version

)

But, ione, still a no go ...

CATALOG12 for 10% off, if anyone is tempted.

metalliqaz · « **Reply #8 on:** Mon, 01 October 2012, 21:17:51 »

What's wrong with the iOne other than general cheapiness?

Probably nothing, but the rosewills go on sale for $64 often, and they are a much better deal.

MissileMike · « **Reply #10 on:** Tue, 02 October 2012, 05:53:38 »

Agree, if it's an iOne, you're better off with a rosewill or cm storm quickfire rapid...

That means normal keycaps. You probably notice the tops of your keys are slightly rounded, but only in one direction, like a cylinder. The only other types of keys I've ever seen are flat (chicklet keys) or spherical, which are like scoops.

jwaz · « **Reply #14 on:** Tue, 02 October 2012, 07:24:42 »

aaahhhh I was thinking old typewrites keys for a sec but figured that couldn't be right.

They have an image up, looks normal and kinda cherry-ish

i3oilermaker · « **Reply #17 on:** Wed, 03 October 2012, 15:43:33 »

Mods look a little wonky, but otherwise looks decent

SmallFry · « **Reply #18 on:** Wed, 03 October 2012, 15:51:21 »

Are those 1.5 mods? They have a 1 unit Menu and Meta key.

i3oilermaker · « **Reply #19 on:** Wed, 03 October 2012, 15:53:09 »

Hard to tell from that grainy pic if they are 1.25 or 1.5

asdf · « **Reply #20 on:** Wed, 03 October 2012, 16:08:08 »

Actually, it looks a lot like an iOne board (I'm calling it now)

IvanIvanovich · « **Reply #21 on:** Wed, 03 October 2012, 18:03:32 »

Yes, rebranded adesso mkb135b, and they are made by iOne.

m00nshake · « **Reply #22 on:** Wed, 03 October 2012, 18:11:28 »

If it's anything like the monoprice black mx I had for a very brief time, which it looks to be in the picture, it's Ione.

MissileMike · « **Reply #23 on:** Thu, 04 October 2012, 06:43:52 »

I'd gladly pay the extra 10$ for a CM Storm.

alvinliang · « **Reply #24 on:** Fri, 05 October 2012, 13:10:10 »

i do not like the blue, iwould get one if it is brown or black

Rumudiez · « **Reply #25 on:** Fri, 05 October 2012, 19:48:21 »

Why the 1x windows key, why? I might have been in for a cheapo fullsize, but I don't think I can take iOne..
