I think its cool, but you have to spend quite a bit of money if you want to purchase other sets to go along with other games.

I would just go with either the G15 or Saitek Eclipse.

Yeah looks cool but expensive.

And in some games like the new Warrock you cannot change the default control keys (Yes stupid i know)to what you want them to be so it might be the same in some other games too.

the merc isnt that expensive its onli $73 and the Saitek Eclipse cost $91 in AUD

 

[Archangel]

yes.. but you can but those game specific game board extensions, or whatever you want to call it,.. thats what makes it expensive

Exactly.

Im not sure of the price conversion, but you can get an Eclipse on Newegg for around $45USD.

 

[Archangel]

over here the eclipse is also cheaper than then xboard.

No that keyboard doesn't have the extra keysets for different games, its built into the side of the keyboard. Go for it if you want, if oyu like the layout then yes get it, I would stick with my awsd keys though just out of personal preference.

wow that keyboard is only $30 at newegg.

Not a fan of zboards,the game specific keypads are rather a pointless dent in your pocket.

You do realize the keyboard he is talking about doesn't use the keypads, its just a regular keyboard with a generic set of the keypads to the left. Here.
