LBOTS Mechanical Gaming Keyboard
« on: Sat, 26 January 2013, 04:54:12 »
Stumbled upon this whilst looking through Taobao.

Did a quick search and only found a single reference for this board here but nothing really detailed.

12417-0

Unfortunately It's all in Chinese so I can't be much more detailed.  But it is quite interesting in that its similar to the Corsair boards that mount the switches onto the board rather than a receded plate.  Whats more interesting is it looks like you might be able to change the switches without desoldering.

12421-1

Could possibly get in there with a clip and pop the top half off.

Original link for anyone who can read Chinese and possibly translate.

As a Chinese speaker, let me translate.

It says the frame is a unibody metal construction of 1mm thickness (they didn't specify the actual material, only that it's metal).

The keycap spacing is in line with most other Cherry switch boards.

It's using MX blacks.

The delete/insert cluster also doubles as 6 programmable macro keys, L1-L6.

And, apart from the usual marketing mumble jumble, that's about the only info that can't be interpreted from the pictures alone.

The keys don't look like they are on right. They look like they are half on and that they can pop out. Otherwise, it looks nice as far as size goes. Thanks.

They look as though they are on perfectly fine to me.. I even compared them to the keyring with a switch on it in front of me and the key on it goes down to the same point as that keyboard.

Anything about nkro or the LEDs on the caps lock etc?  One picture had no window on the key cap so if there's a variant without LEDs it would be perfect for custom switch combinations.  The fact that there isn't really a frame makes it a little smaller than most tenkeyless boards whilst not giving up much else to do so.

Integrating macros into that existing key cluster is also a nice touch.

Is this available in the states? I loved the look of the corsair boards due to the lack of a bezel, but hated the reds and the tenkey.

Yeah it looks like the Neo brand that qtan sells in his store, not sure if it's also a metal body:

The LEDs are green and are under the keycaps as was shown. The only picture that didn't have the LED windows looked more like a concept render.

It's said to have full NKRO, but I'm assuming it'll be the standard 6KRO over USB and NKRO over PS/2.

Also, Fn + Prntscr activates "Gaming Mode" (I'm assuming this locks the windows key and enables the macro key cluster) and Fn + Win makes the WASD keys and the arrow keys interchangeable.

And if it wasn't clear before, the keyboard is named "The Mechanic".

Any idea what the others were?  Just looked at the NEO from qtan and didn't like the lack of right winkey.

Awesome.  Thanks for translating all that =)

I don't remember what the other brands were called, but there were some threads here about them if you want to comb through topics for it.

Yes, that was one, and there was another that did not have any logo printed on it anywhere if I remember right. I think that was the one supposedly available in 7 anodize colors.

I think that might be the NEO Zelia from qtan.  That's a little bit different though as its pcb mounted exposing the entire switch. Maybe not though as I can only seem to find it in black.
