I have had this keyboard for 3 years now and i love it.
for games its GREAT, aimed more for FPS then anything else but due to the keys it has on it you could use it for anything else. for typing its also great, naturally not the typer every but still very good.
Anyone have any idea where I can pick up one of these keyboards in teh USA? I have had 2 in the past both of which I bought while living in Australia but I can't seem to find a seller here in the USA. I bought my first one of these boards back in 05 and it lasted about 3 years as did the second one. In both cases the W key on the pad ended up jamming down and not returning. I would really like to get a new one so any help would be much appreciated.
@taipan185 The keys jamming down are the rubber underlay tearing due to excessive use. I just cut out the pieces from the unused keys (plus, minus, comma, and period) in the left circle and replaced them. I got a good 5 years doing this until I had to get a new one due to snapping the clips on the space bar. You should be able to find this on eBay and get it shipped.
I honestly cannot game with a standard keyboard anymore.
@taipan185 I got a new one for $14 ($20 I think with postage) a few days after posting that comment you responded to. I was pretty suprised to see I could get it for so little and pretty pleased. I am in the same boat as far as not being able to use a standard keyboard, mind you I was never really any good with a normal one to start with as my fingers are a bit banged up after so many years of football :). Thanks for the response btw :)
Keys are very strong on the normal right side of the Keyboard and the keys on the game pad part are even stronger! I am still using this keyboard from day to day and its been great! takes a while to get used to mind.
From day 1 I thought I had made a big mistake as changing a keyboard is a massive change. But like anything when your mind starts to memory map everything all becomes good. will look forward to how you get along with it.
