5.0 out of 5 stars best keyboard money can buy, August 12, 2008

For three years I'm looking for the perfect keyboard. Finally I found it. It was a long way beginning with the IBM PS/2 Keyboard, Cherry G80, Logitech G15 and Razer Tarantula. To make a long story short:
IBM and Cherry weren't gaming keyboards. Both are only Alpha N-key rollover. That means you cannot press the 'W' + 'D' and the 'E' key at once. In the gaming scene it's called "Ghost Key Effect". Edit a file and press and hold the 'W' key, then add the 'D' until 'd' is repeated. If you then add the 'E' key, the repetition stops. The keyboard is not able to solve this problem as these keys - among others - are on the same cluster (on some Keyboards there are other combinations like W+S+D).
The Logitech was even worse! It's only called a gaming keyboard but it's only alpha N-Key rollover, needs driver to work properly and finally it has membrane Switches.
The Razer Tarantula was the first real gaming keyboard allowing full N-Key rollover. For the first time I got rid... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Great gaming keyboard!, April 28, 2008

This review is from: SteelSeries 7G Gaming Keyboard (Personal Computers)
My husband and I are avid gamers and like to collect the best available equipment. The keyboards with the screens, fancy lights, and macro keys look good but a lot of people don't know or don't care that these keyboards use up some of your system memory because of the programs they run. As games become more and more memory intensive, I don't want my system memory wasted on a keyboard. Most games will allow you to make macros using the existing keys so you don't need those extra macro keys at all.

This keyboard is great! I love the way the keys feel. They are really easy on your fingers and that is wonderful if you play as many hours as we do.

The BEST thing about this keyboard is that you can use many keys at the same time. For example...I hit two buff keys, two or three potion keys, and my weapon style...all at the same time! Then when the fight commences, you can hit your spells at the same time you hit your weapon styles. You may say, "you can do... Read more

I'm a keyboard nut. I've purchased and used every keyboard that Microsoft sells as well as several major Logitech keyboards. Mavis Beacon and various websites rate me at 180wpm+. I spend 9 hours a day at work on a keyboard and the rest of my free time at home on a keyboard (gaming, WoW, Eve-Online, etc...).

When I got this shipped from Amazon - several keys had "popped" off during shipping (a rough shipping no doubt). They slid back on without a problem and they don't fall off even if I try to shake them off. Just not something I'd expect from a $120 keyboard (keys falling off during shipping). Might be a positive note for those of you that like to re-arrange your keyboard to a DEVORAK layout like my co-worker.

When I first plugged this keyboard in, my computer was off. When I booted up the keyboard was not recognized. Solution? Boot up into Windows, log in *then* plug in the keyboard. After that, the keyboard is recognized during bootup. This is due to the... Read more
