I would consider spending the money for a truly "custom" keyboard.

But the only downside is, if I were to use it for anything "useful" like changing layouts between Warlock / Mage / Shammy teams - it would have to be made more like X-keys. Who plays a regular game with a standard keyboard? F1-F12 aside, that's just not enough keys. The layout of a standard keyboard is pretty awful for the amount of functions you need to be able to trigger with 2+ classes at level 70.

And honestly, it has to have reasonable pressure to trigger. Too much is bad and this version is too heavy.

Lastly, $1500 is more than what is reasonable for this. $200? Maybe. $500? Getting steep. $1500+? Nah. Just buy 3 X-keys and put color printed icons under each one and swap them out (or buy one and swap between them - although this is more time consuming). The only benefit would be backlighting and a nearly instant swapping of keys. But once you learn the keys - do you REALLY need to look down anymore?

If one were REALLY interested, they could take one apart and design it into an X-keys Pro layout. But you would lose the PS/2 connection (because clearly this thing is USB) and of course the layouts would be much harder to remap. Plus the costs and expense... seems like it would be *possible* but would you REALLY want to? Probably not.
