Its pretty obvious Ducky is the OEM of this board. Those keycaps look exactly like Ducky especially the number keys where the number and symbol are on the same row.

I wish this came out last month when I was buying keyboards. But it doesn't look like they come with brown switches. And wow the prices have leaped again. I got a normal K70 RGB directly from corsair for $120 and this month they're up to $160.

Yeah, it does seem to have that, "I met you before, some time some place." kind of aesthetics. It's a trend manufacturers would rather do than have specialized R& D for products in their catalog. Probably to enlarge their product line, save money. Low overhead, high profits, etc., etc, blah, blah, blah.
I bought a Havit KB 390L TKL a few years back with quick stroke keys and short flat switches. And now I notice several companies have employed the exact design.
I don't think it's bad thing. In fact, they're cheaper as the Havit 390 TKL has moved up in price by $30. Yeah, I sometimes I get in the sync of buying disposable products because it's better than paying an emperor's ransom for a name, high quality product for only a season.

Maybe instead of insane USB polling rates it's time to go back to PS/2 ports, with essentially zero latency. (Check out Wikipedia page...)

Actually all you need is a USB to PS2 adapter and the polling rate is no more. However the keyboard must support PS2 and not all do these days.
