Just a pretty red keyboard for people with money to blow IMHO Besides, no numpad? Crappy configuration too, I think WSAD kicks that thing's ass any day, no charge. All that said, it *is* rather good-looking, but not worth the $$ -- -SnoopJeDi

The keyset is only $20 USD, *but* you have to have the Zboard base to put that set on top of. Base keyboard: $50 USD $70? Ick. -- -SnoopJeDi

These problems should be easily fixed, unless there is something as complex as Tribes 2 requiring a lot of binds or re-bindings.

I can visualize the three mouse buttons up on the front (one of which is a mouse wheel), two thumb buttons, two pinky buttons (equal to thumb, except on the opposite side), but have absolutly no idea where the eighth button appears.

Two thumb buttons on the side(2), the main right/left click buttons(4), then 1 above and two below the mouse wheel(8). The three buttons in line with the mouse wheel are really tiny, yet effective. -- Steve ¤»Inglo«¤ www.inglostadt.com
