For those that are interested, this keyboard appears to be a rebrand of one I own and reviewed a little while back. If you're looking for a heavier variant, gmarket sells it with both 45 and 55g: https://www.reddit.com/r/MechanicalKeyboards/comments/59pl4h/review_my_review_of_the_abko_hacker_k945p_55g/

PhantomTacoDoes anyone have info on whether these Chinese Topre-clone brands (such as Royal Kludge/Noppoo & Plum/NIZ) are related to their Korean counterparts (ABKO & Hansung)? Are there even more than I haven't listed?

DogeAmazeThey all get pcbs from the same vendor (albeit older boards have older revisions of the pcb) and the switches appear to be identical, though there may have been some changes internally that I'm not aware of. There's also GTune for other counterparts. EDIT: GTune may be Hansung, not sure.

PhantomTacoInteresting, but how do you know this (RE the PCBs)? Has someone done a teardown of the various brands?

DogeAmazeWhile I have no photos of my own, I've checked on mine and my own Royal Kludge and they had the same pcbs but different revisions. There's also this teardown https://imgur.com/a/POtx0

PhantomTacoI thought that the kludge was a gamer rebrand of the plum, since plum is the company that makes the clone switches themselves, but I could be wrong.

ChaosShallReignPlum isn't the ones that make the switch. It's a factory in China that makes it for several manufacturers including G-Tune, Abko, RK, and Plum
