been looking for something new, tired of dragging my dinovo edge around the house, this might be the one for the desk!
 
Qpad have been around quite a while. They are not new to the market, but just never marketed in the UK, in Northern Europe Qpad are massive.
 
That looks good, pretty much looks like my filco setup but I have a leather wrist rest, cost more though :(

That board looks very nice, of course you do lose full NKRO with the backlights, but they look pretty sexy.

Its a real shame they don't have a supply with browns, blue and black switches.. I found browns are where its at, a nice balance between gaming and typing.

This board looks so much cleaner than the grease magnet Razor blackwidow, good work OcUK bring real keyboards to the consumer :)
 
It's a rebranded Xarmor U9BL. There's an extensive review here for anyone interested. iOne Taiwan also have the Scorpious U9BL. I would assume iOne are the ODM/OEM of that particular board.

Looks great, and for a decent price too, this is the cheapest backlit mechanical keyboard that i've seen.

You do? :confused: What would the technical reason for that be? QPad states this product boasts full NKRO when connected via PS/2.

From what I understand PS/2 does not support back lights or USB hubs which is essential for NKRO, you et 6KRO from USB pretty much in every case.

From the review linked:
"The keyboard is NKRO through PS/2, 6KRO through USB. NKRO is the ability to hold down any number of keys without experiencing any key blocking, a feature often advertised as “anti-ghosting”. Full NKRO is only available when using a PS/2 connection; the USB HID spec limits keyboards to 6 alphanumeric and 4 modifier keys maximum."
 
we only have limited numbers for launch and half of that stock has sold, if you want one for launch I suggest you pre-order fairly sharpish :)
