Has anyone seen this yet?? I saw it in PC World today!! My face went wild!!Like this >>>>>>>>>>

It cost's £40 so I hopefully should be getting it as a christmas present!

Here's the site for more info... : http://www.zboard.com/

It is amazing!! You can just buy the keyset suited for an individual game! I can't get that out of my head LOL! Great invention!!

What do you think?

It looks really good for gaming but I wouldn't personally get one because 1) it doesn't look all that comfortable

2) I'm just not fussed enough to buy a keyboard specifically for gaming, since I don't really play games much

aqsg72!! That's the beauty of it!! It comes with a normal qwerty keyset too!!

So, if you want to play a game it takes less than 10 seconds to swap between the different keysets.

So what's not comfortable?

I looked at it and it doesn't seem very ergonomical. Maybe I've fallen foul to some anti-repetitive strain injury campaign, but I want a keyboard that looks like it would feel comfortable, after all its most likely where at least one hand rests all of the time at the computer

Its a nifty idea however theres a problem for people who play multiple games simultaneously (especially when drunk too

). Say a game of Generals in one thread and some Ghost Recon in another .... makes for some seriously humorous LAN parties

Who plays two games at one time??

**Praetor** · 11-21-2004, 11:23 PM

Me and my buddies. Makes for some frantic gameplay cuz you dont quite know which game the other person/people have in focus

LOL Praetor!! Well, you need a keyboard for something, so it might aswell be:

Amazing for one thing - Rubish for another.....
**OR**
Not bad for one thing - not bad for another.....

I prefer the uppoer choice. Besides, I don't play two games simultaneously. For one thing, my computer would probably crash in the process lol!
