As you all know there have been a bunch of devices made to use in gaming to replace your keyboard. This "gaming keyboard" appears to do it right.

I'd buy one if I could spare the $50...

oooh, very interesting.

I'd quite like to see that round bit as a seperate peripheral- then I could keep my normal keyboard, and you could use it on a laptop.

*patents to fuck*

It's like one of those seperate devices, and a normal keyboard in one.

How wide is it though??? Not sure it would fit on my keyboard thingy that comes out my desk

It's no bigger than a MS Natural Keyboard. They compare the size in the review, IF YOU READ IT!

Yeah i'd seen that one, good idea, although I'd miss the number pad (not for gaming for but general numbery stuff)

Best gaming keyboards are the ones with laptop style keys. Trust me.

Also, someone needs to put a touch-typist dot on the S key.

So, in short, lappy keys on a full size keyboard and a dot on the S. There, problem solved and will cost about £14.99.

since I game on my laptop, I concur. I am now 95% used to this damn keyboard. It feels natural now.

At least the W is above the S, to avoid my crack-fingering problems. Think you'd need the paw of a moderate to large-sized bear to operate it fully though.

then repaint them or somthing

can't do that on laptop (scissor switch) keyboards really.

You know.. I really don't see the point in spending Upwards of £15 for a keyboard.. Mine cost like a fiver? It types, it games, it works. :) AND.. you can poop the keys off if need be.
