Anyone else have one? I picked mine up on sale at Best Buy for like 40% off. It is an amazing keyboard.
18 programmable buttons, with 3 shift modes for each is perfect for gaming. It also supports macros, but I haven't tried them out yet.
The blue lit keys is a nice touch too, especially for typing in the dark. You can turn them off and on at any time with a quick press of the light button on the keyboard.
It has media keys that work well with iTunes, without any extra setup required. It also displays the title and artist, as well as the time played/song length. It also has a mute button on it, and a volume wheel.
The backlit LCD display is a really cool, albeit unnecessary feature. It can do stuff in games like display stats (really cool in BF2142) or display the time and date, or function as a stopwatch.
Also, it has 2 USB 1.1 ports, with channels underneath the keyboard for wires to run through. It has a cool switch on it to disable the Windows key for gaming (no accidental minimizing).
The only real negative things I can say about it is that it is quite larger than a standard keyboard (maybe a few inches in each direction) and it is a bit pricey. But, if you can find it on sale like I did, and you play PC games a lot, like I do, I would absolutely recommend it.
Overall, I would give it a 9/10. The missing point is from the relatively high price and the fact it barely fits on my desk
But, like I said, if you don't play PC games much you won't really get much out of the keyboard.
BTW, I loved typing this on it
