almost every OCZ product is a rebrand.

OCZ DIY Gaming Laptop = Compal JFL9
OCZ Vanquisher = Sunbeam CR-SW-775
OCZ Vendetta = Xigmatek HDT-S983
OCZ Vendetta 2 = Xigmatek HDT-S1283
OCZ Equalizer = A4Tech X750F/X750BF
OCZ Dominatrix (New) see here and here = CyberSnipa Stinger

im betting this is too :p

Interesting, I didnt know they rebranded THAT much!

I like what they do. OCZ provide good pricing and from my personal experience, back up their products with proper service. I had an issue some time ago where I managed to corrpt the SPD on my RAM, OCZ sent me a replacement and even better SPD that worked better with my mobo:)

If they keep up this overall approach, I expect they will do well. LOL - I dont like the keyboard though (smugly hugs his G15).

Rebrands are a bit screwy,hey look at our nice new product that WE did not make.

I like the G15's too - but im currently over my head in keyboards & mouses so it might not be the best idea to get one just yet....


Ive got an LX300 K/M set, LX3000 K/M set, G7 M, Saitek GM40 M & some gay generic USB mouse made by sony which controls my laptop but its now outta use as i managed to 'remote' my laptop from my desktop & have it more or less permanently on my 2nd screen which i managed to setup a few days ago. its not a real pretty setup. the 2nd screen is a old 15" CRT screen or something that was lying around at the time

i hate the size and non standard keys. i'm a touch typer so i cant handle keyboards that dont follow the standards - hence the saitek eclipse and 'normal' logitech cordless.

The G15 is a good kb,two of my friends have bought one after trying mine.And considering the price in the uk,thats a pretty good thumbs up.Keyboards and mice are pretty personal things,it is your main input to your pc and the main things you handle a lot :p

On mine i have 4 pages of info on my lcd(temps/fans/volts/cpu/gpu speeds) from everest ultimate,it is so useful being able to check on my cpu/gpu temps while a game is running,without having to alt tab.Also the macro keys are useful for apps and not just games.

I will be keeping my G15 till it is falling apart,so i dont think it is overly expensive.

Edit-The rev2 is quite a bit shorter than the rev1,i nvr bought the rev1 because it was too long.

I can't figure out which rebrand it is, there is a census that it is a general design.

Logitech Wireless 510 and Logisys Ultra Slim Multimedia.

The Razer Tarantula has some features that not everyone will care about, but in case you do:

- 1ms key response time (1000hz polling / USB2 profile versus the usual 125hz / 8ms / USB 1)
- 10 key simultaneous keypress
- Removable / replaceable keys (comes with extra keys with icons, etc.) - also helps with cleaning
- 32KB onboard memory to support 5(?) switchable profiles + software to manage which 5 you have loaded
- Key Backlight (for some keys)
- Dock area for some strange accessories (webcam, keyboard light(!), etc.)
- Nicer materials

They do look similar though.
