    The keyboard is a killer! They sent me the full custom and took the liberty of customizing it for me. Honestly I prefer a solid color on all the key except maybe a few like WASD.
     
    This is one the highest performing mechanicals I have laid hands on.

    Nice review, I love customizable mechanical keyboard options.  Sadly I don't see a tenkeyless model, so I'll pass on this one.

    Thanks, b'gunner! 
     
    The thing just feels like soft warm slippers for my fingers. But I would prefer some dedicated media controls. I hate having to press function for anything. But of course I could macro some media controls, I suppose.

    Wait wait wait... that keyboard is awfully familiar... because I have it and bought it like two years ago... when it was called the xarmor by ione.  Weird!  I mean, it's the exact same pressed casing and everything, I thought those cap/num lights and the texture of that area looked familiar.  Same USB hubs, cherry switches and everything.  The only difference is the lighting scheme where you can custom order it.  Actually, when I bought this one it only had cherry brown switches, but the company said they'd release red ones too.

    This isn't new at all!  I wonder what happened?  Like did MaxKeyboard buy them out maybe?  Anyways, it is an awesome keyboard!
