Akward Keyboard

 

I will keep this keyboard as a back up but I eneded up ordering the Logitech G15.

I wanted to wait a while before I reviewed this keyboard because I was having a hard time adjusting to it. Now That some time has passed I just can not get use to this board. I have been FPS PC gaming since Half Life 1. So I am use to the standard WASD...

I just couldn't get use to in (IMHO) and if your going to get this keyboard, I suggest the one with a backlight on it. It's supper hard to see in the dark

Better then previous keyboards ive had.

 

The macro takes a while to figure out but once done its very simple to do but just be careful and don't use macro in some games such as WOW or similar as on SteelSeries website one reviewer got banned for it permanent at that. And also it isn't much...

Works just like it says and no errors so far. The dedi game pad works excellent and i found it dint take me to long to adjust to it. And the anti ghosting up to 7 keys pressed is really really useful for some games. Also it does have anti liquid spill...

Um none really it does every thing its suppose to do flawless. Though it is software based but still it works excellent

best keyboard

 

Great product and I would like to see this form factor catch on with more gaming keyboard designers.

I have owned this keyboard for over 3 years and it performs flawlessly. Mine is the ideazon before steelseries took them over, the only difference it appears is aesthetically. The controls I find are far more intuitive and easier to reach than a...

The only con to me is the way the number pad is designed. The 0 is in the wrong spot and having to turn on and off the num lock depending on what you are doing is a little annoying. Instead of using that when I need to do lots of number entering I use...

Consumer review (newegg.com)

Can't get used to it.

 

I see the potential for this setup, but I guess I'm too old to train my fingers for this. For the younger gamers, this would probably be the better way of gaming (as long as the form factor lasts the test of time).

Keyboard works as advertised, downloaded the driver software and everything setup smoothly on windows 7 x64

First off, the number pad on this board is annoying, the placement of the 0 key is off, and having to turn off the numlock in order to use the delete key annoys the hell out of me. As for the gaming pad, I just couldn't get a good feel on it. I've been...

Good Value

 

The macros and anti-ghosting just aren't available in another keyboard at this price. I haven't had it long enough to comment on durability, but I'm very happy so far.

Gaming area is very comfortable for my largish hands, with lots of buttons available in convenient positions. Typing feels pretty good, comparable to a typical Dell or MS keyboard. It's only an inch or so larger than most fullsize keyboards. Doesn't...

The software could be a little more polished, and the combined number pad and arrow key area is a little awkward (but the typical layout would be make it way too long)

Close To Perfect Fit

 

I got the Belkin n52te gamepad over the holidays and took it back because the space bar key was pretty much useless along with most of the features due to bad placement. This keyboard has excellent key placement although I have to remember to stop...

Good controller key placement. Programmable. Extra buttons that you can actually use. Great price

Keys aren't really bouncy and feel cheap. The NUMBER KEY HAS TO BE OFF FOR DELETE KEY TO WORK? Ouch, that hurts! What were they thinking
