Nope, just the usual marketing "let's photoshop the wires out, so it looks better!"

Supply Voltage and Current:
+5DC 5% at 100MA Connection: USB 2.0

But it does look good, makes me almost want to get one, if it's 'cheap'. Although I don't like the hand rest, it's too short to be anything than on the way and I use my own wrist pad (something softer).

Backlight and profile look fine, I like these 'laptop' style keybs and it's not overly wide.

Alchemy line are overally very cheap performance peripherals. Elixir 1 has some pretty good review (it costs £20), tried to find an Elixir 2 review but I fail'd. Although this keyboard certainly looks tasty if it's with a budget price tag
