I think you will agree that it is indeed a beast of a keyboard, full features can be found on the logitech website [URL]http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/products/details/US/EN,CRID=2166,CONTENTID=10717[/URL] Those macro buttons will be uber.

My god, does that thing let you open worm-holes?

Looks nice, unfortunatly i only use small keyboards as i have no use for a number pad and it just takes up space.

Not really seeing the point in the LCD displaying ammo, if your playing a game and you spend your time looking at a keyboard you've got your control set up badly.

I'd get one if they did a mini version.

I thought of buying a new keyboard, but to be honest I don't think it'd improve my games very much. My pretty standard keyboard does the job very well. The only new keyboard I saw that I thought 'must have' was the one someone linked to the other week, where each key was like a little screen, changing symbols/characters to accomodate the piece of software you were running. Very impressive.

It's worth getting a decent mouse though, and I highly recommend the Logitech G5 Laser Mouse : [URL]http://www.pixmania.co.uk/uk/uk/152436/art/logitech/g5-laser-mouse.html?rd=1[/URL]

Really is the Rolls Royce of gaming mice.

I was looking for a new keyboard today. Mine works fine, but is filthy and I can't be arsed taking it apart and cleaning it.

Everything I saw was either cordless, or had a zillion extra buttons on it that I'd never use. One even had a remote control for media playback!!!

Not what I wanted at all. Doesn't anyone make a bog-standard keyboard any more?

A whine about society? Where the hell did that come from?! :-)

If that's what you think, you're reading entirely too much into my posts. I'm not that complex a person!

Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.

But since you mention it, society does suck.

Ah yes, the OLED keys. Lovely keyboard - I hope it becomes a reality.

I like small and to the point keyboards as well, i use the logitech ultra x at the moment, but the macro potential has me drooling like a loon.
