    Yes, everything made by MSI needs some military grade components.


    Seriously though, I quite like the look of this. Would be great to see a mechanical kb round-up at some point in the future, everyone seems to be getting in on it right now.

    Re: News - MSI releases its first mechanical gaming keyboard

    why do keyboard manufactures assume everyone uses WASD to do stuff? I don't. due to my weird hands (cant even use a xbox 360 controller properly) its a lot easier for me using the arrow key area, number pad for item slots things and so on.
    bearing that in mind, cant they let us choose which areas of the keyboard light up or are highlighted?

    Really Reds again...

    Why not Browns? or a selection.

    Ducky Shine 2s or Corsair K70/95 have customisable backlighting.

    Looks exactly the same as the Cooler Master Quickfire Pro.

    Re: News - MSI releases its first mechanical gaming keyboard

    When are keyboards going to start having USB3 pass-through? Never understand why they always seem to be a generation behind with their USB tech!

    Yes, the Osmium. iirc though, a review I read said there was a problem with it recognising the USB3 memory stick they tried, which they said was a shame as USB3 pass-through was (still is?) a unique feature for a mech keyboard.

    Didn't stop me buying the Osmium, as it wasn't a key feature for me. Can't say I have tried putting a USB3 stick in it.
