Does it come with a palm rest/how annoying is it without one? No palm rest, I think it feels much better without one anyways. Hey do you guys use your keyboard with the flippers (the things that raise the back of the keyboard up) or without??? | ||

You guys should have seen the condition of the NewEgg package when it arrived. The tape was completely torn off. The box was crushed to about 1/2 it's normal size. The keyboard box was sticking out of the top! It looked like somebody had kicked the package all the way to my front door. To be honest, I'm surprised this thing is even working right now. I guess this says something about its extreme durability? | ||

I like the keyboard. Keys are good, layout is good, no BS, and the size itself is compact (no overly big edges on the sides). I like it a lot. The lights only seem overly bright if your face is parallel to them, if you have the feet up on to angle it then it is not bad. | ||

(Warning, I didn't take the time to proofread this. I just blurted it out and posted it. Bad formatting and opinions ahoy!) + Show Spoiler + I play zerg and I like to mass ling (kwanro <3 (also, remember that one MSL right before Oversky joined ACE when he mass linged Bisu to death? God that is one of my favorite games ever)), so when I'm hovering over my hatcheries and mashing SZ I tend to get some fucked up inputs. It's like the keyboard doesn't acknowledge that I pressed S BEFORE Z. So I go back to micro my army, go back to my main base, and find three larva at every hatch (FML). This is me making a conscious effort to press S before Z, while still doing it as fast as I can (pressing the space bar with my right hand to simulate clicking a different hatch with my mouse): sz sz zs zs zs zs zs zs zs zs sz zs zs zs zs zs zs zs zs zs zs zs zs zs zs sz zs s z zs s zzs zs zs zs zs zs zs zs s zzs zs sz zs zs zs zs zs zs zs zs zs zs zs zs SZ = success! Lings on the way! ZS's = fail, gg no re. I can slow it down and get the correct input, but what's the point of having practiced my macro if I can use it? Though thank god it doesn't ever fuck up drone production. I'd gg if I lost a game because I failed at droning at the right point of time: sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd sd (pass) Some other units: sm sm sm sm sm sm sm sm sm sm sm (pass) sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh sh (pass) su su su su su su su su su su su su (pass) so so so so so so so so so so so so (pass) sf sf sf sf sf sf sf sf sf sf sf sf sf sf sf sf (pass) zs zs zs zs zs zs zs zs zs sz zs zs zs sz (fucking..... ugh) In conclusion, if you're a cheesy zerg player who likes to all-in with lings, don't use this keyboard. TLDR version, the post I've quoted from earlier in the thread is 100% accurate in my case, and my missing lings prove it!

The precise action on the keys is very reassuring, and the massively loud clicking makes me feel super gosu. But I've noticed some problems when I'm macroing.

I tried it once and it seemed impossible, so I stopped trying until I looked into if it was possible or not. It is. You just can't be afraid to break anything. | ||
