I definitely would like to try it out.

"The keyboard can be flicked into three separate modes – essentially meaning that you can programme each key with three separate tasks and you can flit in and out of whichever mode suits – so a different colour can be assigned to each different function set."


Most of this seems like it was modeled after the n52. One would think they would improve on it.

just from the picture, I have 3 complaints :
Lack of ergonomic key placement.
The thumbstick does not appear to be angled right for proper usage.
What happened to the mouse wheel? (ok - I've often thought the extra key would be nice but I've gotten used to it)


If I do buy, it will be local purchase with a 30 day return policy in case it sucks. But my fears are probably based on how much of a fan I am of the n52.
