X-keys look cool... $100 a piece though (ouch)

If they were 100% what I wanted I could find a way to come up with the like $300 I would need for 2 bars and a pedal... but unfortunately it's not.

The issue is that the pedal wouldn't switch my keyboard and mouse around unless I was running like synergy which is more CPU overhead than I would want for a simple switch.

The 16 key strips themselves I am not sure would respond to having a ctrl key programmed to 1 key and the rest of the keys working in response to it being pressed or not.

So if the ctrl and alt key didn't work I would need either 6 hotkey bars at $99 each... or 2 of the large units... and if I can stand having 2 of the large units within range of my hands... might as well just keep the keyboards I got.

I'm half temped to try and buy 2 cybersnipers

snap off the wrist rests... and try and make do with the poor ctrl-and alt placement and missing the - and = keys off all 3 hotbars where I would be expecting them (which I would try and remove like /attack and /assist to other locations on the pad so that the - and = were used but not for spells and therefore the placement would seem logical.

What I like about those ones are that the WASD keys will not care which hand I use... where as most game pads do... I am not left handed but when you 3 box you learn you use both hands ALOT more and it's pretty random....

I could get 2 cybersnipers for less than 1 x-key bar.

problem is... the x-key bar is able to be labeled... and the buttons are bigger.

I probably sound like a whiner at this point... but you know how it is when you know what you want... and it's not availible. It just kinda sucks.

There are way too many FPS player keyboards and not enough MMORPG gamer ones... let alone muti-boxing MMORPG gamer.
