Does the modular keyboard live up to its billing?
Interesting review. Will it be updated with any pictures that arent renders?
Sounds like a mountain bike.
From a gamer perspective I'd LOVE to have the numpad on the left. My g-keys that run down the side to the left are heavily used, and to have even more keys within easy reach for my left hand so I don't need to let go of the mouse or move my left hand over so much would be great.
From a creative perspective id love it on the left as well. Never felt natural for me to reach across my keyboard to numberpad when my hand was naturally on the left side of the keyboard most of the time. But i could actually use them for bindings if the numbpad was on the left.Quote:

Can't wait to replace my Logitech G513... used to love Logitech but their new peripherals have a ton of quality issues.
As something of a Mech keyboard geek, and someone who has spent countless hours soldering/desoldering switches, I love the idea of this. I don't think the price is bad for the quality and innovation on offer too.
Unfortunately, for me, I really dislike boards where the key switches stand proud of the body. One reason I can't stand most Corsair boards (aside from their questionable longevity).
Exactly what I was thinking.Quote:

I can see some people will see the appeal of this, being able to fiddle with individual switches, etc. But it seems so niche and such a high price I can't see the advantages or financial viability for the mass market.
Apparently there is an AMD branded mountain bike now.....which isn't very good.Quote:

It looked over-engineered and is going to be eye-sore a couple of years down the line..Quote:

Four special keys and a media thingy which might be gimmicky or might be really nifty is admittedly interesting, but I could buy an Elgato stream deck for that money. Maybe two...
