lehpron I'd like a keyboard that makes no sound when I type, that would be my only wish.
Same!

Ugly, but I wonder if it's any good. Too many poorly priced inferior mechanical keyboards out there, let's hope this one doesn't end up being another. lehpron I'd like a keyboard that makes no sound when I type, that would be my only wish.
Cherry MX Clears with o-rings is the way to go. The heavy tactile feel will keep you from bottoming out hopefully, which means they're essentially silent. Even if you do bottom out, the o-rings will really dampen the sound of it.

I think it's safe to assume the boxy "ugly" design is just due to the fact this is an early prototype. I can't imagine EVGA, of all companies, would bring a peripheral product to market without finishing it off with superb design. You just don't spend a fortune on that design for an early prototype.

Probably, though people these days generally prefer gaudy over the top design opposed to sleek and sophisticated style. I think the mouse is ugly too. I wonder when we'll discover the OEM for the keyboard?

I agree. I prefer the "less is more" aesthetic for computers. I like the sleek & sophisticated look of Corsair's mechanical keyboards, the only thing they lack is the LCD display.

It will have a lot of competition! I have a Duckyshine that uses MX Blacks as I got it on a great deal. MX reds, blues etc. all work for me... As long as its back lit, mechanical, etc. It works for me I am not all that super picky but I bet the warranty stand the test and that is what I like best, the LCD would be a welcome addition. But as was said it will be awhile before it's ready...
