razer keyboards are great. i have the tarantula, the keys are very sensitive, i get a lot of double letters when i type.
you can program keys to take multiple keystrokes, like set a key up to buy certain things with one key.
it can set up profiles for different games with quick switching between profiles.
it has Windows media player hot keys.
im not sure if that one has a usb hub, headphone and mic plugs built in.
a good quality built keyboard tho

got a lycosa, really good like the USB and sound connectors on it ,usefull, like davie said keys are very sensitive, also like the small touch panel on top right (commands for sound, media player and keyboard lights)
lighted keys is also usefull if ,like me, you play in a dark room so you can type faster when you want to annoy stefan :banadance: :ban:

ah, screw razor, get the latest in the Logitech G series, had mine for like 3 years now (the old G15 with the lcd-screen that you could fold down) and its still great, nvm the razor double hitkeys sensitivity, mine had like 36 quickkeys on the side all programable (12 * 3), and a good lcd monitor on top, I usually uses it for vent monitoring but there is loads of apps for it out there (including css stats).

This one also got the usb ports (2).

The newer G15 one got fewer quickbuttons but looks quite imense aswell.

but Id go for the G19 for sure.

looks like this:

I usually buy logitech Holm- but the G15/19 are so bloody big they wont fit on my keyboard slide, and the desktop is filled by my steelseries huge mouse mat and G5 mouse!

Razer JUST fits! But the logitechs look like the best mix of backlight and macro keys. I will see what this keyboard is like though.

yep


apple wireless keyboard :)


works fine under windows, linux and osx :)

windows theres a slight issue of keys being in the wrong places, mostly the symbols like `\# but i've sorted that with a few registry tweaks and a config for autohotkey.exe :)
