This is a version of the Xarmor for sure.
Qpad make some rebranded peripherals like their version of the Beyerdinamic MMX 300 but with different name and "gaming" label.

true, he is awesome and I have a couple of his albums so I may change the title - although the phrase "designed/drawn/constructed/whatever by Stevie Wonder" has become something of an idiom in the UK for almost any type of shoddy workmanship.ripster wrote:That thread title is an INSULT to Stevie Wonder!!!!
Edit: now changed to David Blunkett, who is a UK politician, and a total ****

Copy and paste from another forum:
I think the translation from the original Swedish got a little lost, I think what he meant to say was:“Xarmor U9BL as a product is “end of life”. It is not being manufactured anymore. U9BL was an improved version of the Scorpius (which has been around for 17 years), and the QPAD MK-80 is a further development of the U9BL.”
About why we choosed MX Cherry blue: (Direct translated by google from Swedish. Please help making it better)
Why did you choose MX Blue when Overlockers (forum) state that MX Black is most common for gaming today:
-QPAD: It is a matter of taste. Overclockers obviously think that other Cherry models are nicer for gaming. We ourselves, together with several pro gamers for a long time tested all Cherry switches and found that the MX Blue felt best.
MX Blue becomes like a tuning fork in game where you both feel and hear the click. The blue switches appeal to all your senses. Auditory, tactile and visual. The only thing that made us start thinking about choosing other MX switches was the idea of being 16 years old (tapping hard on your keys) staying up when your parents where sleeping, trying to be as silent as possible to not wake them up. But in the end quality and feeling has been our priority values when we made our choice.

MX Blues are the cheapest and most readily available. iOne, the factory we're buying from had an absolute shit load of these things left over from the Xarmor deal and it was easy for us to jump in and get a good deal. Besides Razer already started the marketing for us by choosing the clicky Blues, so it was too easy, the dumb kids will believe anything we tell them about clicks being good for gaming.

This was advertised for pre-order on the Overclockers UK forum. The MD was apparently watching the thread and had this to say; http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showpo ... stcount=21
I'd like to know exactly what it is Qpad have done to "further develop" upon the previous versions under different names (my gut instinct tells me nothing and it's just marketing bollocks).

1. Cherry MX Blue Switches are the best because they give you both auditory and tactile feedback.
2. Screw your parents, be your own person.

I don't take the Cherry Blue switch seriously. It is a toy switch. Too bad they suck for gaming too. The implementation of this clicky switch is quite inferior to others.

I would agree with this. The clicking is too "artificial" for my taste. BS and ALPS do it better.webwit wrote:I don't take the Cherry Blue switch seriously. It is a toy switch. Too bad they suck for gaming too. The implementation of this clicky switch is quite inferior to others.
