I am not sur where the complaints come fromin these reviews. Perfect, works welland is fun to use too. I think its what is needed by any gamer.Good Job Guys.
I never realized how much I used these three keys at the same time, until I couldn't. There's some kind of layering over the area that started to get bubbles, and it completely kills the feel and design of the touch-sensitive bar.The first problem I had was that the space bar is quite difficult to press down. Pros: It's very nice looking. This is, surprisingly, one of the biggest issues.Lastly, on the same note, You can't push more than 3 - 4 keys down at one time, which heavily weighs down on gamers.Other Comments:I've had this keyboard for about 6 weeks, and I'm thinking of switching back to my old Logitech G15 Gaming Keyboard. Your fingers tend to slide around them way too easily, and not stay still.I play many games that I need to press multiple buttons at the same time. The ergonomic design (lifting up a bit in the front) is a nice touch.Cons: After just 3 weeks, the keyboard's touch-sensitive section at the top started to crinkle. While holding W & Q, if I need to strafe, I can't. After even 6 weeks, I still haven't found any uses for the C-Keys on the sides, even being a serious gamer.I would only suggest this keyboard if you've had one nearly identical to this before, and you're used to it.
If you're switching from a different gaming keyboard, find something else. For example, I have my push-to-talk key for most FPS games set to 'Q' for easy-access. I've gotten used to it now, but it's not easy-flowing like it should be.The metal-plated W, A, S, D, Arrow keys, and space bar are pretty annoying if you're used to a rougher key feel, which I am. To run forward (W), Strafe (A or D), and talk (Q), Strafing doesn't work. This keyboard isn't very comfortable for typing, nor gaming.
If you are running Vista32 or 64 don't waste your time. Plugged it in. Moved my tower which required unplugging the keyboard. This keyboard was amazing.
Installed the drivers, unplugged the keyboard, re-plugged it and surprise. NADA. At first install it worked like a charm. Got it working for 3 days. same problems.I tried contacting techsupport, but got frustrated quickly with both the ignorance and idiocy of their CSRs either way, one suggestion;Don't buy.Get ANYTHING from Logitech.
I uninstalled their terrible software, hunted down ALL registry entries and anything related to saitek. this keyboard is now an 80$ desk weight. Doesn't work.Googled, searched saitek's own forums, and nope. Works in Ubuntu, which tells me its a vista issue. Flawless vista integration.again.
Terrible keys lag and currently after three months two keys are not working. Stick with logitech. Keyboard looks cool but the performance for gaming is not there
I also experienced a couple glitches (key repeating, not stuck on the keyboard, stopped after unplugging and replugging).
I gave this four stars, instead of three, because it's a gaming keyboard and I am not using it for gaming.
It doesn't appear to be a major repeating problem, but if it recurs, I would reevaluate.
I wanted a durable, comfortable keyboard with backlighting, and that's what I got, no complaints.
I did eventually figure out how to program the keys to open folders, but it was pretty tricky and -- more to the point -- the Macro Software is extremely unintuitive, not especially flexible and the documentation is terrible.
However if you're thinking about this for standard use, be aware the macros are only programmable for key combinations and mouse click (but not position).
It's also a beauty.
I had hoped to be able to program file locations in a simple manner (as I had with the MS Media Pro Keyboard that preceded this).
So thumbs up for the keyboard, thumbs down for the software.
