GX Gaming, the gaming series of peripheral maker, Genius, today introduces the Manticore, a highly customizable gaming keyboard with mechanical-like keys with a 16 million color backlight palette in 3 separate color zones. The Manticore outshines the competition thanks to it mechanical-like backlit keys, which are divided into three separate zones, and each zone can be set to a different color. They also feature a 16 million RGB color palette and four brightness levels, helping gamers play at a high level even in low-lighting settings.
This wide range of color combined with the three key zones provides virtually unlimited customization options.

As long as the feedback is good, I don't care what kind of switches it has. Model M has one kind of switches, Cherry MX other, Topre use weird capacitive mechanism, and this - I don't know, but I wouldn't call non-Cherry-MX bad just because it's not Cherry MX. I hope it's not as bad as most of regular rubber dome keyboards.

Mechanical-like keys??
I like the idea, but either go all the way or go home.
Its the same style of switch was using Roccat... its a strange mix between mechanical switch + dome ( or similar (could not have the dome but instead contact) .. ( basically you have a little switch like on the mechanical cherry mx, but instead it press directly a dome on the motherboard of the keyboard )..
It should be better of dome, and scissor keyboard, but its not so much of a difference.

Pricing is a bit off. Should be cheaper.
