*Taken at a recent BBLAN event at my house

I have one. I paid a silly amount... I hated it at first... but now I love it.

I use arrow keys (lol, I know) and as such, I was always sliding my Mech keyboard across the desk to flip from gaming to writing abusive comments on BF3. Now I have split the numpad section from the main keyboard, as in the pic above.

The LCD screen is pretty awesome too but it let down by the lack of SDK. Companies such as AIDA or Mumble cannot make an overlay for it, which is disappointing. I am hoping Madcat release it but I think they may be worried about someone copying it.

Value for money: 6
Design: 10
Flexibility: 10
Awesome-looking-ness: 9

BB rating of 7 lol!
 
sorry im old, have no idear what your talking about, seems you have a new over priced piece of kit? i'll goolge it and see what it is and does, some sort of gaming setup i see, not that old that i don't play games, but online only with steam for me, don't play fps as im old slow and totally rubbish and don't like 15 year old yankies running around killing me just because there pc and connection is faster, or there just way better than me, or cheat, then again i am rubbish, normally the pc beats me.

jesus you did pay some money for the kit, i have no use for it, but does look nice, does it work with all of just a few games?

£250 my god, if it works in rpg which i love and total war etc, i still don't think my gf would let me have one :(

i don't think it would help me in games either, im just no good at them, not matter how much i play them, still love them mind you
 
Sorry buddy, but I'd never pay that sort of money for a keyboard without mech keys. The price is just insane, you can give me all the gimmicky features you like but if it feels like a £10 keyboard to use then no thanks.

Glad you like it though, won't be parting with my Qpad anytime soon.

Not a fan, but if it works for you, then it's all that matters :)
 
i use a £70 cherry, its older than most keep houses and cars tbh, it's at least 8 years old but maybe more lke 10, i seem to have had it for ages, had at least 6pc's, and 4 top end gaming rigs with same one, it still feels the same as when it was new, so worth every penny, not that i paid for it, was given it as i leaving present as i told the boss i liked it so much, he went out and bought me a new one for home :)

glad you enjoy it, and hope it lasts, seems well built.
 
Unfortunatly its too much for me to Justify buying although i do like the look of it.
Half the price and i would most likely click the buy it button

They do the same keyboard without the LCD screen but its not much cheaper.
 
I was looking at this the other day, I like the look and the adaptability of it, but for that sorta money, I'd definately want mechanical switches included.
 
I got the strike 5 (Baby brother to the 7)
It is a good keyboard
Its not mechanical but very very close to the permormance of one.
