Crap, I just bought the Razer BlackWidow Ultimate for about $50-60 more than that

Nice. I still don't see how it's better than my G510, but it is nice. $20 more and you can get an extra display with several functions and 18 programmable keys.

If its of the same quality as my Thermaltake Challenger then it'll be an excellent keyboard!

Old news. Two months ago Tweaktown reported about this at Computex Taipei 2013, but I've heard nothing since. In any event, I'm looking to replace my 7-year old Saitek backlit keyboard. Wonder if the keys are laser/water etched or just stencil painted which will eventually wear off like my Saitek.

Small footprint. Almost too small for my taste. Looking to replace my 7-year old Saitek backlit keyboard. Wonder if the key are laser/water etched or just stencil painted which will eventually wear off like my Saitek.

This kinda peaked my interest, if this goes on sale I'll replace my current Logitech.

Dgingeri, this keyboard is infinitely better than your silly G510 because it's a mechanical keyboard. The two cannot even be compared without everyone laughing

 

[Andrew Boult]

The G510 doesn't have mechanical keys, theirs a big difference, My keyboard looks pretty much like this one but no led back lighting but it has a heavy steal base so nothing can move it

Good deal. I like the feel of the Cherry blues (and browns).

Too late, everyone and their dog has made a keyboard like this.

Wow, $79 for a full blue backlit mechanical keyboard? I may have to get one of these as it would go well with the black / blue / white theme of my rig.

There should be no reason for a keyboard to need a Windows Key disable. When you instantiate the keyboard in DirectX, RawInput, or Windows Messaging; you have the option to disable the Windows Key when your window is in focus.
The only reason it would be enabled is if a dev thought it was necessary or is too dumb to check MSDN.
