Wow, this is a disgustingly low number. Even with the gaming optimized rollover it just won't do in some cases, the most obvious one being Stepmania or Beatmania and old school coop play on one keyboard. Hopefully Razer will take all these factors into account and their next model of keyboards will feature at least 6KRO on USB, a choice of switches and a PS2 port option (for NKRO). Do you know if they Ultimate model is any better? Their website is not very helpful. | ||

ZX is the only instance of 2 key rollover that i have discovered. and i've been using this thing for over a month. | ||

This is actually a pretty good deal for anyone looking for a cheap mechanical keyboard. Promo also gives $26 off on the ultimate version, bringing it down to $103. Still too expensive for what backlit keys should cost though.. | ||

Is it possible to change the keys to WASD in those kind of games? That would allow full functionality. | ||

Stuff I don't like: - I'm making more mistakes in general with the hotkeys. I keep hitting ` instead of 1 for some reason and other stuff like upgrading hallucination instead of warpage which was a first today. It is annoying and I'm not sure why I'm doing this. Could it be BW key layouts and size (I think it's farther apart than most normal keyboards). -Capslock key could use an indent to help prevent accidental pushes. I hit caps instead of A when attack moving sometimes. My other keyboard didn't have an indent yet I don't make that mistake with it. It's weird on the BW and could probably benefit from an indent. - For some reason hitting the ESC button quickly to cancel buildings feel weird. Sometimes I hit that big empty zone between esc and F1 . Atm it feels awkward. - The f1 keys shifted to the right is really stupid. I could imagine warcraft 3 players hating this keyboard since they use F1-F3 for heroes a lot. It feels weird and farther apart to hit quickly. F1 keys farther from the left hand side of the board is bad. If it ain't broken don't fix it. - This is my first keyboard with macros and I must say I hate them. They just get in the way of where I usually rest my hands. Instead of quickly hitting ctrl I have to be cautious not to hit the macro key. I wish I could cut that part of the keyboard off. I thought it wouldn't be a problem but it is. Never again will I consider a keyboard with macros on the left side. I have 60 days to return this and just might get the rosewill keyboard, a simple yet efficient design. I only bought the BW because it was cheaper. I'm also wondering about brown switches now. Even though the switches on this keyboard is an improvement over my old keyboard, blue switches just seem meh even, though I never tried any other color switches.. | ||
