/want one

I wasn't aware there was a demand for these.

Tek, you mean gaming keyboards?

I'm in the market for a keyboard as we speak.

No I mean gaming keyboards with a mechanical keys.

that made no sense.

From what I read its a reasonable application to a keyboard. Did you not read the article?

I'm sooo clumsy typing, I'd probably shoot myself to death in the first FPS I tried.

Yes I did read the article, I was just curious as to why after releasing only membrane style keyboards they have decided to release a keyboard with mechanical keys like the old IBM keyboards. I was not criticizing their product I was just curious since mechanical keyboards tend to have stiffer tactile response.

/cranky man down.

Right, and the article details how they accounted for the stiffness of their mechanical keyboard.

Like the idea of the mechanical action. Great for word processing and other non-gaming apps. $80 for a non-backlit gaming kb vs. $70 for G15 might be a hard sell, and an extra $50 for backlighting and USB seems mighty steep.
Most keyboard USB pass throughs are 1.1 spec, is this model any different?

I prefer ergonomic keyboards, but might be interested in this. I already type 110wpm - be curious if I could bump up my speed any with it.

I think that the who wrote this article should do a bit more recearch. He says that Razer released the first mechanical keyboard for gaming ...

... and how about STEELSERIES 7G ???

I think its the companies first version of the type of keyboard.

He clearly says:

"Razer has introduced the market's first
mechanical keyboard designed specifically for
gaming."

Market!

I know its Razer's first mechanical keyboard. But he says market, and that's incorrect. Besides Steelseries I think that there are at least other 2 mechanical keyboards.

Interesting keyboard. It looks like it'll suit gamers well but I'll with my Logitech Wave Corded keyboards. I've never been big on gaming keyboards anyway.

There may be other mechanical keyboards, but how many of those are really purpose built specifically for intense gaming? Mechanical keyswitch keyboards are a big thing in todays market and it's about time one was made available without gamers having to sacrifice functionality.

waiting to see some reviews on this one, Steelseries 7G uses Cherry Black switches, they require 60G and are linear.

Also I'm sorry but for that keyboards ultimate edition the price is much too high. At 130 bucks the logitech G510 is far superior.
