In a nutshell, the keyset (you need to buy the base unit first)simply creates Macros for some of the most common commands. The gaming keyset is laid out in a very different manner, larger red keys for movement on the left etc. I was able to customize the standard gaming keyset that came with the base unit in a very short time. If you played your games with an standard keyboard this will take a little getting used to.However, once I did get used to it I really wasn't that impressed. Simply visit you games many community or fan sites and you can find Macros that you can copy and paste to the keyboard. Personally, I'd say to save your money and just buy the base unit. Configure the keyboard yourself to the way you play the game.
the difference is that the software enables you to customize the key commands using Macros for your game. Other than that it's a standard keyboard with the righthand numerical key section removed.If you did buy the base unit it comes with two keysets, a standard keyboard layout and one for gaming. You don't need to be a Brain Surgeon to customize the keyboard. The little research you may have to do to save the money is well worth it.
I have Age of Conan, WoW, And Now Warhamer online. My Zboard runs Excalentooo. Every keyset works great and updates the way it is supposed to. they all work great
Uses it all the time. Bought this keyboard for my teenage son for Christmas. He loves it. Would defintely recommend this keyboard to anyone who loves WOW.
I prefer this keyset over the original cause it has PVP and raid functions. Now, I bought the BC keyset and this is my second one. I have had this keyboard for a very long time.I started with the original WoW keyset and had to replace that twice. I love the functions, or I would have just gone ahead with a regular keyboard a long time ago. I do recommend this product for WoW gaming it does make things easier, but like I said.I just wish it was more durable.
The layout is easy to use and remember.Another customer commented on the left shift key being half the size with a button next to it that has an asterisk (*) on it. The right shift key is normal size.The smaller buttons on the right include Inspect, Invite, Duel, Follow, Roll, Guild Chat, Party Chat, Whisper, and raid keys that include Raid Chat and Raid Warning.The emote functions are also very nice. There are volume controls, video control buttons, email, calculator, etc. This keyset is wonderful. Since I very rarely use my F keys, I just keep emote turned on.The Zboard itself (SOLD SEPARATELY) is great too. It's super easy to install and there are two additional USB ports on the back that make life so easy.The only real gripe I have is that the way the space bar is split makes typing a little slow. But as with other things (like ergo keyboards) it just takes some getting used to.So whether you play as much WoW as I do (which is an obscene amount).
There is an Emote key that works kind of like Caps Lock. This button is for voice chat, whether it be the in game chat, Ventrilo, TeamSpeak, whatever you use. When that is on, your F1 - 12 keys can be used for the most common emotes: wave, greet, spit, chicken, etc. or not, I highly recommend this Keyset for the Zboard.
