Save your money. Having worked with this keyboard, I find it frustrating. Save your frustration. WoW itself offers UI customisation capacities right out of the box that can do the same thing -- and there are free third-party addons and mods that expand those capacities dramatically. If it were as simple as plugging in the keyboard and going, that might be one thing, but the amount of work and figuring involved to set it up make it not worth it.As someone else remarked, if you already have a ZBoard, there's no reason not to get the specific WoW keyset, but if you don't. If you have enough knowhow of the game's UI mechanics to make this keyboard work for you, you have enough knowhow to remap your keys to provide yourself with the same benefits for no price at all -- without the hassle of working through hardware glitches and incompatibilities -- and do it much, much faster than it takes this product to ship.Save your time. Use the game's existing key mapping functions to do everything this board promises and more -- free.
After spending some 3 weeks of trying to get this to work 100% not 50 or 60% ( WoW Burning/C on Windows XP ) trying the new drivers swithching the computer on and off after trying to refresh the keyboard. reading the many forums about these Keyboards and still I had problems with many of the keys.The most enjoyment I got from this unfortunate expensive mistake was disconnecting it, deleting the drivers and throwing the whole unit (Keyboard and Base) in the recycle Bin hopefully the chinese can make some good of the plastic.
I have been playing wow for a year now and I cant imagine how I woulda got along without this keyboard
Not only is it time consuming, but also playing the game can be harder trying to remember where that key you programmed was. Adding this keyset makes the game easier by placing most of the essential functions within reach. Other features of the keyset are the raised arrow keys on the right where the preset functions are. Most of the commands are in a separate area to the right of the main keyboard layout which makes it easier to concentrate on the game and not on setting and activating keystrokes and combinations. Playing the game will be much easier when everything is clearly labeled. There is one review that really brings this keyset and keyboard down, but who wants to take the time to manually map out each and every option and feature to the keys of a regular keyboard. Due to the shape and size, make character movements much easier than moving your character with standard arrow keys found on a regular keyboard.
Okay, I have to admit I'm a 44yr old mother and I'm hooked on WOW. I was very happy with the purchase, but was disappointed when I received the Zboard a good week before the WOW board. It was hard to live knowing that part of my toy was there, but I couldn't use it until the rest of it arrived.
