hehe looks pretty nice, hope it won't get too expensive, since I'm still looking for a new keyboard now that multi boxing is here to stay with me

When I first looked I thought "Yay!" ... then noticed the horrible Return key with shrunken backspace. WTF? I thought that got standardized out finally?

th shrunken backspace. WTF? I thought that got standardizeThe second you pointed that out the second I disliked the keyboard. GG ;)

Looks alright. But yeah I would have to agree with the other on this.

Agreed. I've grown to depend on my \ button above the enter key being where it is. Sorry hardware manufacturers, but the gaming public is firmly set on one keyboard design, and a tetris-block shaped enter key ain't it.

I can't imagine getting a new keyboard. For gaming I like my N52 and would likely get a new type of gamepad if one came out I liked better, but for a keyboard I'm sticking with the good old IBM model M.

And I'll agree with the No Backwards L Enter Key sentiment.

I like the extra two rows of function keys, but that's about it. That's definitely not enough to get me to switch from the original G15.

I bought a G15 because so many people here use one, I'm struggling with it because its narrower then the KB I was using , so the Q key is where the W key was on my old KB so I find myself straffing when I'm trying to go forward making some strange tanking situations :D I'm looking forward to learning how to program all the extra keys though.

I've become too used to using the MS Ergonomic keyboard range, whenever i go to use a straight KB i get sore wrists & i type very slowly with many errors. This KB looks sweet as and i'd love to use it but i wont be able to retrain my hands to use it :(

No fancy buttons -- but short of a new original model M, this is the best keyboard you can get. (as long as your not partial to those glowy girly man keyboards)

Unicomp Customizer -- with buckling spring keys. I have one at home and at my office that I've logged quite a bit of time on and haven't come across anything better.

yes i agree i wish they would let some of the gamers disign the keybord and mouse . but i have learned that when extra keys are needed belkin nostromo are great prodocts
