World's First Mechanical Keyboard Designed For Gaming

[CntdwnToExtn]

I've been looking at this KB. Seems to be pretty nice, especially having the USB 2.0 port, even though it doesn't seem to be dedicated? Nice sleek look too.
I'm not a fan of having to press the Fn key for the media features though. I'd rather have the pad like on the Lycosa.
Too high of a price though IMO. Here in Canada it will probably be $160.

When the G110 is under $100cnd here that offers the illumination, USB 2.0, only need to hit 1 button for media, and 36 macro buttons - the mechanical is not worth that difference to me for the amount of gaming I do.

It uses Cherry MX Blue switches

There are 'tactile' switches and 'linear' switches
linear switches require the same force to press all the way down.
tactile switches require more force at a certain point (just before actuation) so you know when to stop pressing.

Also, some are designed to make more or less noise.

cool. would i got out and buy it no, not for that price, and not because my lycosa suits me fine atm.

Exactly my feelings. Seems like a great keyboard but I think I'll be using my Logitech G15 v1 til it dies...it's over 5 years old now and still in tip top shape Best keyboard evvaarrr

Ehh Im with Guru on this one. My G15 V2 is awesome! Sure, I wouldn't mind if it were mechanical but im not sacrificing my LCD screen just for a mechanical KB.
