I have a filco with brown switches. i guess if you wanna burn an additional 40 bucks on this go for it. This is what FlaSh said in the article:
"The keyboard is a vital piece of equipment, especially for Starcraft. It needs to be very durable and responsive, as you need to reach a higher APM in this type of game than any other games", says Young Ho 'Flash' Lee and continues, "I have been using the ZOWIE CELERITAS for about 4 months and the RTR technology has allowed me to improve my APM. I suggested to make the left windows key function as ctrl and I am happy to see that ZOWIE has listened. This will help many gamers to avoid annoying mistakes."
Hmm, does anyone have any footage of him using this in Proleague or in the OSL Finals? Even Blizzcon? I don't remember him using a black keyboard at all, always his white one. My guess is that Zowie put this is in just for marketing purposes.

The double control key sounds pretty awesome. I really don't need another windows key on the keyboard but the extra reach allowed with the CRTL further across sounds like a great idea.
|
I bet the original product sucked like hell.. but then flash blessed it with the touch of his gosu hands and it instantly became a super pro keyboard that gives you 500apm.
|
I love that they have quotes from a pro Kart Rider player. Sort of weird to see the market flooded with mechanical keyboards after the release of Star2 but for $160 + shipping you have a lot better options imo.
|
wow that's a steep price. It seems to me that all Zowie products are pretty pricey. Is that because they are a good brand or are they overpriced?
|
Why do they find it necessary to continue making mechanical keyboards ugly? Seriously if I wanted a plain black ibm style kb I would just break out one from the huge pile I have sitting in the garage. I certainly wouldn't pay $160 for one.
Eh, I am just not sold on the whole mechanical KB bit. Frankly outside perhaps the top pros, I doubt anyone here has the reflexes to notice the difference between a digital and a mechanical. Also, you would think for what they are charging, they could of done a little better photoshop job.

Overpriced.

edit: whats with steelseries and zowie and the large enter key? do people actually like it?
I got the Steelseries 7G and I really don't care about the large enter key as such, I just wish that they hadn't moved the apostraphe because of it (also, I hate the tiny backspace key).
|
I'd be potentially interested if it wasn't for the price.
Unless a bunch of reviews start coming out praising this keyboard to be a step above Flicos or even Razer's BlackWidow...

Japanese pro typing keyboards brands destroy anything else in existence
all these keyboards the gaming brands are throwing at you are a rip off, pricewise and construction wise next to the classic pro keyboards.
I'll try to get the japanese english site that sells those, I'm pretty sure it's the same manufacturers than pro fighting games sticks etc..
edit : and they come in dozens of construction flavors depending on what you do with it and what you need

They should make rulers and scotch tapes, also. So we can get the full Flash effect.

Secret training art of the bleeding fingers. Hmmm..

I have one of Zowie's headsets and it is really a great product. It is really durable(The headband is so flexible that you can almost flatten the entire headset out against the table without breaking it) and has great sound quality despite what a lot of audiophiles will tell you. Their other products are pretty boring, in my opinion, but this looks promising. I have an old black alps switch mechanical keyboard, but I've been looking for one with Cherry brown switches to keep down the noise since black alps are almost as buckling springs or cherry blues.
Too bad its freaking expensive!

I'm sorry what?
That's like saying that plain baked potatoes are a gourmet dish despite what food critics/chefs tell you.

They have great sound quality, so long as you're not looking for deep bass and immersiveness (music, video, etc...) Hammers really are quite good for gaming, but not much else.

Kind of a close call, as it is tangentially related to Flash, but this is basically a product advertisement.
