My 10 dollar keyboard has everything this has, without the flashy lights and the ability to press 17 keys at once.

Unless it was like 40 bucks, I probably wouldn't buy a mechanical keyboard.

But the feel of mechanical buttons IS lovely.

.. I like flashy Lights. I prefer the ones Nova is showing.

How new are these? Because I'm pretty sure a friend of mine has one.

If your friend has one then he has the older NON-RGB K70 or K95 which had a less flexible lighting system. See here:

Scroll down just slightly and you can compare the other models and features they had, the RGB k70 and k95 aren't on that list but supposedly they smoothed out the issues the non-RGB had.

Also unlike the non-RGB k70 I believe the RGB k70 has only cherry MX reds as an option for keyswitches.

And yeah that's fine vort if you don't like them. The RBG K70 alone looks like it's gonna carry a $165 price tag, and I think it's a $190 for the RBG K95.

I'd like to get my hands when I can afford it on the RGB K70 personally. I love having complete customization and control over each key, and there's 10 brightness levels too so it doesn't have to glare out at me.

*dcj buys one just to stare at the shiny keys..

10 brightness levels you say?

LOL....but yes, within the options you can choose just how bright or dim the lighting is for each key, not just its color. Which is good cause while I love lit up keyboards, some of them tend to be obnoxiously bright, which when you're playing in the dark...yeah...

Some of the hydro cooling system computers I use to use had options like this for the towes.. It was part of the reason I liked them.

Though no where near this level my "mech warrior" gaming controlor... which I spent wat to much $$$$$$$ on by the way, also has some of these options by the way.

And in my opinion looks better even if these keyboards are 10 years more advanced.

To be fair, I have a razer naga mouse, mainly because the extra buttons are helpful, and that's not something a 10 dollar mouse can do.

I hate taking my fingers off wasd too much in shooters or games that require quick reaction and mouse focus. 12 mouse buttons is quite helpful in this regard. (I considered getting the 6 button variant, but meh, it was the same price, might as well get 12).

I have never liked the Naga mice from Razer, the side buttons are too close together and easy to press extras when you don't want if you have any sort of large hand like I do. In-fact the last Razer mouse I liked was the old old Optical diamondback blue plasma limited edition mouse. And that was tempered because the buttons were covered in rubber instead of plastic which eventually faded and got sticky from the material outside the outer coating and that ruined the mouse when it was still perfectly good otherwise.

At the moment I still have not found any high end mouse I truly like. The one mouse that looked promising, the Ninox indie-developed mouse, hasn't had any word of update in a long time much to many peoples disappointment, the developer hasn't even had the balls to come back and at least say his project is dead despite they occasionally see his account logs in once in a blue moon.

Hmm, I have a large hand, and that doesn't seem to happen to me. They are laid out in a manner that makes it easy to tell which one your hand is on (their facing differs between each row and column, and you begin to remember by feel, which I like.) Also, there is a 6-button alternative, which seems quite easy to utilize in comparison.

As for the rubberization deteriorating, yes, that is probably a legit issue. Hasn't happened to mine yet, it's been a year so far. It could. I have a laptop with that sort of issue on its touchpad, and it's only been a year. Guess I need a mouse for that too...

Good news vort, the Ninox mouse of the GODS is back on track apparently and i missed it. The creator BST finally replied a while back on the page im about to link near the bottom, so this gaming god of mice is back in business to hopefully see existence soon, and with games like Toxikk and UT4 in the works, they now have a true place.
