NIB Qtronix QX-032 (Scorpius 32 Keypad)

[beltet]

Hi all!
Got this keyboard the day before yesterday. Paid ~25€(250SEK) for it and initial I thought it was clones and wanted it for modding project. Then I thought it was old Cherry MX blues per this thread:
http://deskthority.net/keyboards-f2/hir ... t8192.html

Then I posted a few pictures on Sweclockers and the nice user khers(member here aswell) pointed me to:
http://deskthority.net/wiki/Aristotle_Cherry_MX_clone

So now the switches is identified as Aristotle Clones.

But I want to know how old it is. I see this keyboard on the wiki here:
http://deskthority.net/wiki/Qtronix_QX-032
But it seems a little bit newer(the one on the wiki), with regards on the PCB. I haven't found any date on PCB or case. Any ideas?

Nuff talking! Pictures ahead!

As you see on the switches spoiler I managed to break one leg on the switch top....
But when mounted on the plate it works.

Wow this thing must be heaven for someone that uses a 60%! Nice find!

It is, especially if you have someone using your PC who doesn't know the 60% FN layer. I have my keypad on the left of the keyboard and it's awesome! I need to change the switches though, they are a little bit too stiff for me.

Putting it on the right of the mouse would make sense for someone who can't adjust to it being on the left, while providing the same "pull the mouse in" benefits of not having it there at all (or having it on the left). Personally I'd have no problem with my cursor keys being on the left, because they are right now.

Now that we know what they're called, we can search for them. Too bad this one doesn't list a price, but it does have real MX Blues (admittedly a bit less important on an accessory keypad).

Yes it is! Perfect compliment.

My girlfriend aint acquainted with FN layers, so for her it is perfect!

Going to have it on the left side. I have no problem with that either. I think I will change the switches to MX Clear to get the same feeling as on my 60%.
