Future of Keyboards!!
As requested below are the 4 different keyboard companies, changing the future of the keyboard.
X-Bow:-

Design:
The cross-linear design allows your wrist to rest in the natural angel when you type. The key column allows natural extension of your fingers. These combine to allow you to type for longer with greater comfort.

Increased Ergonomics:-
By shifting frequently used modifier keys into thee middle of the keyboard, this reduce how often you need to move your wrist while typing. this dramatically reduces the FATIGUE over extended typing session.
Typing Experience:-
The keyboard uses Gateron switches (available in red, black, brown or blue) and PC+ABS plastic key caps with two-colour injection molding to ensure a satisfying feel while you type.The ALUMINIUM body of X-Bow allows the solid feel with a minimal board flex.

RGB Lighting:-
RGB backlighting is a controversial issue in the keyboarding community. Often, subpar boards try to make up for their deficiencies with a lot of bright, flashing lights. For this reason we don’t want to spend too much time on our lighting effects, but c’mon, these are pretty fun.X-Bows has 15 lighting movement effects with controllable brightness, speed, direction and colour. Ofcourse, you can also turn them off.
Mionix Wei Mechanical Keyboard:-

This keyboard is all I could have hoped for. It has a super sleek and minimal design and makes my gaming setup / home office really come to life without it being overly flashy.
Highlights include:
- Great Design: Probably the best looking mechanical keyboard out there. Excellent choice of materials, great industrial design, minimal looking and generally striking. It doesn't scream "over-the-top gaming keyboard" which I really like.
- Switches: Cherry MX Red switches are a great stock / starter option for gaming and general use. I occasionally take it to work in an office environment and my co-workers aren't bothered by the sound. I'd argue that the typing sound is less annoying than the sound of the new 2017 MacBooks. In fact, my coworkers all love the keyboard and want to get it as well. It's not overly masculine, so women at my office also comment on the cool looks.

- LED Backlighting: The bright and vibrant backlight LEDs look very nice and have highly customizable animations (I love the explosion animation). The aluminum top plate reflects the light and adds a nice effect. The video I attached has the out of the box rainbow animation.

- Software:Reliable and well designed software for Mac and PC (I use it on both). It also let's you change the behavior of individual keys which is really nice. I usually change caps lock to backspace, this software makes that very easy.
Despite it is this amazing, it is having some CONS to look after:
- Although I'd argue that it's worth it, it's still way pricier than similar options. If you are looking for the best industrial design on a keyboard though, look no further.
- For this price range I'd expect additional perks such as bluetooth (although uncommon in mechanical / gaming keyboards) or perhaps an included wrist-pad to make the price sting less.
- There isn't a version without the number pad. Most mechanical keyboard enthusiasts / gamer friends, including myself, prefer more compact keyboards without the number pad. It makes a lot of sense ergonomically since you can actually be centered, facing the monitor as you type and not have to reach far for the mouse. Also helpful if you have less desk space.

This is DEFINITELY an attention grabbing keyboard. It is unique looking keyboard, and for those who are in know, the switches are KAILH'S , which are probably the best of the Chinese switch manufacturers.For the users, this means more consistency between switches.
