*drool*

He complains about lack of support for in-game info for the LCD, but tbh I don't really care; doubt you would use it anyway. The display of cpu/ram usage on, on the other hand, would kick serious ass in terms of letting you monitor system load.

I tend to use the arrow keys for gaming/mapping, so having the G keys would be nice since I could actually keep the keyboard in front of me instead of way over to my left.

Personaly I'm a big fan of any any cheap, modern key board. I don't like the crazy new ones with larger keys or a funny space bar. I also don't like the old school keyboards (that are about 15 years old) that make a loud *PING* everytimeyou hit a key. (We've got a few of these at home although we don't use them.) Although I have herd that people like the old keyboards. Ofcorse mine are so old they lack the Windows key :P

As far as I know the supply of these keyboards at the moment is VERY limited, paperlaunch limited. It's G15 by the way.

Rush Hour rocked.

---But I am still going to bump off the Saitek Eclipse in favor of this one.

nothing wrong with a standard keyboard tbh

o_broodingdude · 11-11-2005, 05:11 PM

true, but since I can't afford new video cards, ram, and other neat peripherals I buy neat keyboards and mice. shoot... I'm still using an old analogue monitor. Well... 1997 or '96. lol my computer is a conglomeration of old and new. I still have ribbon cables!

By the way... I gotta get some rounded ones and some wrappings for my puter pretty soon.

do you have to buy special keyboards now to play games?

You know, I went to a ClanTMP lan years ago and I was made fun of for using the arrow keys to game as if I was the ONLY one who hates the WASD method of FPS gaming... Nice to see I may not be the only crazy!

Neat keyboard...though I am sticking with my standard one!

o_darknight · 11-11-2005, 06:28 PM

I used to use the arrow keys for many years believing WASD users to be stupid. But after a week of using WASD I found it much easier and comfortable to use. Also made me play better because I could reach all my buttons easier.

I have a £5 Trust keyboard that I bought about five years ago. It takes just the right amount of pressure to press the keys. I <3 it. :P

£5 keyboard or £50 keyboard.. I know which I'd choose every time...

o_|404|innoc-tpf- · 11-11-2005, 06:32 PM

I certainly don't think WASD users are stupid but you'd have thought I was certifiably insane by the reactions I got...

Circuitous · 11-11-2005, 06:55 PM

Arrow keys here too.

Neat-looking keyboard.

o_anshinritsumai · 11-11-2005, 07:11 PM

Nice looking keyboard, but I already got a new Zboard (with World of WarCraft keyset) for about 45% off...

o_rebo · 11-11-2005, 07:15 PM

This looks cool, but im just too used to the standard MS Internet keyboard.

o_travis dane · 11-11-2005, 07:27 PM

Nothing wrong with using the arrows, I just switched to AWSD for pure practical reasons: keyboard-hand and mouse-hand being to close together when using the arrows (not very comfortable, nor healthy), and of course the wide array of keys available around the AWSD configuration.

o_shootthechicken · 11-11-2005, 08:46 PM

I use ER for forward and back, DF for strafing, a and s to jump and crouch. Screw WASD.

...that's the most bizarre config I've seen or heard of thus far. Kudos.

WASD ftw
