    That's from Taiwan microshift, recently released, might be not available in the USA yet. But wait to see. That's another choice if you are tire of sram/shimano/campagnolo's.
    And I wonder if it's already available in California. Can anyone tell me if he/she has seen this one in CA? I want to take a detailed look.

    I don't like the appearance as much as Campy, Shimano, or SRAM. I wonder how well it interfaces with components from other manufacturers?

    VERY INTERESTING!

    What is the MSRP?

    What is the "shift cable adjuster" -- does that mean the indexing is variable (ie., both Shimano & Campy ... plus, SRAM) OR is it simply a cable adjuster?

    IMO, it looks like MicroShift has copied the silhouette of the current, 10-speed Shimano STI shifters ... one could choose worse ... and, it's certainly better to copy the industry "standard" than not. If the shifters are reasonably priced, reliable AND mechanically efficient/comparable, then they could be "a good thing" for people who prefer Shimano shifters BUT who don't like the non-aero shift cables.

    I am waiting for a pair at the moment.
    They come in 8, 9 and 10 speed.
    Price, about 50% of Shimano of the same speed. Compatibility is Shimano.

    I curently have a pair of their 8 speed flat bar shifter pods in stock, look ok, again the $$, 50% or better than Shimano. 🙂
