First thing I experienced with this keyboard was feeling how heavy and sturdy it was- for us rigorous typers, it's a chore to have to move our keyboards back after our strokes push it away. The interchangeable keysets made this purchase very worthwhile for me(a Starcraft/WoW player). My only gripe is no back-lights on the keys, but hey- the soft glow of multiple monitors is all the light us gamers need, right?

My bad rating is due to false advertising. They advertise that the zboard keysets will work with the shift....they do NOT! I have three of them that I tested. They even told me back in may that the battlefield 2 keyset would work on the new software update....another lie! I would stay away if this is something you are intending on doing. However, the keyboard works fine as a keyboard.

The construction on this keyboard is great and it takes a lot of abuse. Not a single complaint from me.
Even better, the key mapping options are exactly what I wanted. I'm always remapping my keys to better fit my use of the arrow set over WASD. When I pair this with a Razor Naga mouse, I can reconfigure almost any game to have the keys in a logical and accessible place for me.
