New mechanical keyboard from swedish guys, qpad, a well known brand gaming
blacklit, any popular cherry switch desired [limited offer], full nkro [over 18KRO on USB], ISO in any language [french, Scandinavian, spanish, italian...]
Which one look prettier according to you?
red LED or blue LED?

Neither look pretty to me. Overall, or the backlight colours. If I had to choose, I would probably go with the blue because I prefer the blue switches over red on plate mounted boards.

why do they always put a light on the spacebar? if you can't find the spacebar, you don't deserve to have a keyboard.

This keyboard has been around for quite a while, this is just a re-brand.
QPAD should stick to the only thing they make themselves, mousepads.
Blue led, matches my mouse.

if they did that, people would still whine about of LED missing on spacebar
its for aesthetic, either blue or red lighting, it looks so much pretty

The guys at QPAD sent me a sample today. It is actually more than a re-branded U9X. We have full n-key rollover over USB(!) as well as hardware programmable macro keys.
I will writing a full review later on.

God it's ugly. Good to see macro keys though, hope it becomes more of a standard and not just for gaming keyboards. Full n-key sounds like trouble though. No one needs it except marketing, and prior implementations had their problems with Mac OS, crashing, bugs, etc.

Will be available at Monoprice soon.
I expect The Solutor will write at least a dozen glowing reviews there.

its NOT, i find it very aesthetic IMO
blacklit, any switch desired, full nkro over usb (even if i doubt its utility), ISO yes for european that makes a sense
i am sick of ANSI
