I wish they would make ergonomic versions of these keyboards. Same thing with the Saitek keyboards. I can't handle these flat boards as much as I'd like to have one of them with their various cool features. My hands get extremely tired and cramped up if I'm not using an ergonomic keyboard.

For all us that couldn't afford an optimus maximus keyboard.

I was really interested until I saw the price

I'll stick with my old G15 till it breaks... then move on to a G11 because I consider the 18 macro buttons more important than the screen.

Macro buttons and macros in general are overrated. True gamers do the grunt work themselves. ;P

The price ain't that bad considering what it does. The maximus' price is crazy. You can build an entire Core2 system for the price of a maximus. It makes it possible to bind shortcut keys and not have to memorise the positions of your shortcuts. To me that is brilliant!

What is wrong with plain and simple? And low cost.
Most of the fancy boards that have come through our shops seem to enjoy early failures.

looks cool & has features too but its going to hurt our palms

Ninja keyboard.
