New keyboard from korean IDFactory(Taiwanese Costar manufactured obviously). The color of the housing reminds me alot of the CM Storm Quick Fire Rapid, but without the ugly branding and font. Judging by the pic's I'd say they're marketing it as another 'gamer' board.

They even add a nice little brush to clean off dirt from inbetween the keycaps
Priced at around 105,000 Won(aprox. 72 Euros), and we'll probably never see it sold outside of Korea

Pwn your opponents with N-Key ROLLPVER!

Love the paintbrush.

What's the "windows key lock" for?

Needs to be gold plated for lower latency though.

Some guy on GH mentioned that IDFactory is only permitted to sell those keyboards in Korea, although there is a possibility for a group-buy.
I'd imagine the gray housing would contrast quite nicely with the RETRO keycaps set from round four :3

C'mon guys, this deserves a group-buy.

Same here!

Assuming you can 'lock' the windows key so it won't tab out if pressed - it is a gaming keyboard after all

ROLLPVER

That looks like roll power!

Hum it seems it's a quite nice keyboard.
I'd hope that their next release would be the SB74 or SB94 I didn't remember.
The tenkeyless with aluminium case in so lovely colors

id be in for a group buy. Need a brown board so bad.

No only does it feature ROLLPVR but it also uses a printed circuit board board! Yes, thats TWICE as awesome as a regular one!

Dont you just love it how the Chinese just try to make words look like what they think they should look like (without any knowledge of the language in question or even the simple fact that even if letters or numbers look alike they might not have anything to do with one another). If ONE guy in china could do some proper English and check on what his fellow-countrymen were trying to write (if they could be bothered to do that ofc) not only would that one guy be very very rich but the entire world would no longer laugh at the Chinese for being so bloody illiterate.

I know a single human can be a powerful being, but honestly; I can't stop Dutchies from fscking up english either... nor stop anyone from posting in their own language in the midst of a thread full of english (*cough* russians, germans, dutchies *cough*); I'd say it's a pretty tall order for one guy to spellcheck anything that leaves his nation's border.
Neither a single (nor married) woman.

Suchst du Streit, hm?!


This looks like a better Quickfire TKL. Or like the Quickfire, just without those logos and legends...

Shurely a nice board, may be an alternative to a Filco TKL for me. I am just not happy with my DAS anymore, it is too wide.

A Quickfire without logos is a better Quickfire by design right?

With Nkey Rollpver, HEAR ME ROR!

If only it was in real aluminium. Fake aluminium-looking plastic is so tacky.

Identical to the Cooler Master Storm QuickFire Rapid

But is it rubberized?

Good to see you here squarebox. Geekhack is the land of the noobs now.

so what's the brown smudge on the WAS and NML keys supposed to indicate in that pic?

6-key Rollpver. I would assume it's just for illustrative purposes, not 6KRP for just those keys.

I thought it might have been that Diarrhea guy from Geekhack.

Nkey Kicked In On My GROOVY Keyboard YO!

The moderators delete my year old posts and leave THIS?

Honestly, I was hoping it was brown caps. I would love a "chocolate cream" 'board. If WASD ever puts out brown caps, I'm throwing a set on my white Filco.

*Remembers luscious pics of lowpoly's/sofa king's MiniGuru*

I have only one brown key and it has a PedoBear on it.

Now that I think about it, lowpoly's 'board was so nice because it had a brown case and white keys, not the other way around. It'll probably look like crap brown-on-white (no pun remotely intended).

Well...at least HIS images work. Too bad he can't edit his own mod post anymore.... <need pounding desk smiley>


I lost interest in this keyboard once I realized it was Arial.

I remember his "configurator" had Segoe UI, Calibri, or something similar for the font.

Oh I meant the OP keyboard, sorry. I would have bought a keyboard with Segoe in a second.

Not sure why Geekhack is reinventing the wheel, spending $50K to recreate Cherry Legends when there is a brand new world of humanist typography out there.

ESPECIALLY that Geekhack Tilde <grabbing pic from wiki which he must remember to use in his font wiki>

But then most Geeks are uncreative types.

Are you sure? The close up of the "C" looks kinda like Myriad/Segoe-ish to me. "Backspace" looks like an abomination to me; it might be the same font as the new Rosewill. It also looks like they have that weird Myriad issue on the Scroll Lock and End keys as well.

All-in-all, the 'board looks to be a hot, typeface mess.

Ah, but Rosewill has cleaned up their mess with the simple use of indicator LEDs in the keys in the new backlit keyboards.


Same with Leopold.


I see a trend.

Filco needs to stop dinking around with waterdyed custom keyboards and get on the thick PBT key and Indicator Light In The Key bandwagon!

And for a Groovy Musical Break... Ugh, performance reminds me of PBS pledge week.

Ha! Funny you should mention that. Our PBS station does a one time per year auction ("Blazing Gavels," har har) that lasts for 10 days instead of a pledge drive. It starts tonight and I am a volunteer.

I love the people, and it's a great cause, but the hours suck.
