Razer Battlelight!11!1

Someone post a review if you buy one. Nothing stands out as a must have but maybe it has a good feel to it.

Those Battlelights look like they'd be right in the way of my line of sight for my monitor.

Don't forget...

That's an old article though. Wonder if it can be used for that.

I can't seen any of the razorzone.com stuff from work, but the stories on everythingusb make it sound very nice.

Ergonomic keyboards are ridiculously more comfortable. The sad part is 99% of the people who talk shit about them haven't tried them for more than a minute, if at all.

You have to give it a day before you really get accustomed to it, and from then on it's golden.

Once you go ergo, you never go back.

I had three ergo keyboards in a row and then went back to standard with the G15. :!:

I think we all know by now that you aren't human. Unlike robots such as yourself, we tend to have our arms reach the keyboard at a slight angle.

Ergo computers are terrible for gaming. I also like the option to occasionally press the middle keys (and especially the number 6) with the *gasp* wrong hand.

I found ergo keyboards to be too restrictive in typing style. Also they totally blow for gaming as Leo said which is probably half my computer time anyway.

.. How do they blow for gaming? I've found them to be awesome for it. Certainly more awesome than yourselves.

I have no problems hitting No. 6 or any other key. In fact, my wrists feel much better after long periods of PVP or first-person shooters since swapping to ergo.

I prefer MS's "comfort curve" keyboard

Can't seem to get one that isn't wireless though, and I hate wireless keyboards for gaming.

FS Review on it...

I don't have a G15 yet but I think they are coming out with an upgraded one, if not I may pick one up at Christmas.
