It's the World's 1st Gaming Keystroke Keyboard

[haxfar]

This isn't first time a company have made pressure differences on the keyboards. The first i saw featuring it, had all black keys.

Can't remember if it was these: http://www.daskeyboard.com/products/

[citation][nom]Belardo[/nom]The idea sounds pretty good...But overall, I find the WASD key layout to be difficult to work with, effecting accuracy. At least 95%+ of the games allows is to reconfigure the controls.While not perfect, try using mouse for all controls movement. I've been playing this way since DOOM1.Tie mouse look into movement. So pressing Left button = Forward, Right button - backwards. With many mice, such as Logitech - I can set the ZOOM buttons on the left side for LEFT & RIGHT strafing.Hence, you're not doing mass abusive mouse clicks on a mouse, in which the act of firing your weapon can cause your mouse to shift. I use the keyboard for firing, changing weapons (besides the wheel) and everything else.CTRL = ShootSHIFT = Alt ShootZ = Change rotation UP for a weaponAlt = Zoom (Sniper rifle, etc)Space = Good ole fashion JumpCompared to the keyboard, the mouse is not limited to 4 directions for movements, such as pressing W & D at the same time to move at an angle.[/citation]
And do you ever wonder why ur always getting fragged?

Imagine 2 players split screen playing Mortal Kombat.. or even better 4 players split screen playing who knows what 😛

Countless noob's are going to buy it thinking that it will transform them to pro's.

Can anyone confirm if this will work on your significant other? A mute macro would also be nice...

I can press 21 keys at once.
Nuff said.

The only real 'gaming' keyboard is a beer-proof keyboard.

faceroll?

 

[HaakonXCI]

20 keys eh? Guess when you attempt to do a faceroll you'll at least have it hotkeyed now.

I'm not really impressed with the keyboard. It's not the most attractive in the world, not ergonomic in the slightest, and I don't use WASD for my shooters (I use the similar QWES).

Overall, I just see this more as a marketing gimmick, and less of a useful product.

a better name for it may be the Faceroller 2000

4-Mbits on-board memory

Wow! That's like... 512KB. What'll we do with all that memory?

/sarcasm

I hope it's not actually those colours. Pretty ugly. Gamers want flashy LEDs and shit not clown keyboards...

Even for the most professional players this will be useless, professional players are using just normal gaming keyboards, there is no need for that.

Button mash wins!!!

My keyboard only lets me do 3 keys at once. 4 causes it to flip out. Generic PS/2 keyboards FTW!

This keyboard is nothing special. I can't remember off the top of my head but I believe Unicomp keyboards (mechanical) have different keyweights based on which key it is. It's set up for typing and not gaming obviously, but I've heard of people changing out the switches to suit their liking. I also recall lots of people saying they didn't really like having different sensations for each key.

And my Filco Majestouch also has "unlimited keystrokes with PS/2". It's called n-key rollover. This keyboard cost me $140 (it's $120 without n-key), so I expect a little more cost for Gigabyte's. But I like what I've got anyways...I dig Cherry Brown mech switches.
