Anyone tried one of these?

Looks interesting, a bit big for some, but a lot of programmable space.

You realize that those are like McDonalds keys, right? They don't have any travel at all. They just respond when you put pressure on them.



Xkeys make some "real" keyboards that are kind of like what you are talking about. You can also buy some blank (flat keys, basically spacers) keys and sort those into regions.

Standard Keyboard FTW. Nuff said.

Actually the Cherry ones travel quite nicely and have a pleasant tactile response. We had some when I was working at McDonalds.. :-D

iirc X-Keys use "cherry" keys right? think I read that on their site somewhere...

Yes but the first linked ones (in my quote) do not appear to.

I was thinking thats what they were, I'd definitely want travel, even if it's just a tiny bit like a laptop... just got outbid on yet another x-keys (I need to stop being cheap ) and it was linked as a related product along with a thousand other non related products.

heya, IM new here (usually just lurk the forums, but just registered) but I think those should work... I use a similar pos keyboard, prolly not as good as the xkeys ones but here, in Brazil, xkeys is not an option, so I had a couple pos keyboards getting dust and decided to give it a try.

I think of those like a gheto xkeys since I cant grab a real one.... and i cant get used to the N52, so it frees some real keyboard space and easier to put all keys on the 2nd char together for quick access. (I just dualbox right now, gonna start a 3 team in the near future)
