    Ansi for typing is pretty horrid I agree, but its not too bad for gaming. I can't think of any game I've played that uses \ for anything useful.

    It is annoying as all hell to have the symbols in the wrong place. Hopefully they'll launch a proper one.

    Another gaming keyboard with macro keys down the left edge.....makes it useless to many gamers.

    I thought the press shots were of the US keyboard layout, and the UK layout would be different and sane?

    Re: News - Cooler Master unveils Storm Trigger Z mechanical keyboard

    Does seem rather expensive given it's features..I am in the market for a new keyboard at the moment and £100 ish is what I want to spend, but looking at a Corsair Vengeance K70 (brown one for me) for about the same price, which just seems well...better in almost every way.

    I'm just sad my Sidewinder keyboard has finally given up the ghost (or is starting to)..detachable numpad was great for RTS games! At the point where I need to look at a more durable, mechanical KB though rather than basic membrane, even if the sidewinder did look great

    Re: News - Cooler Master unveils Storm Trigger Z mechanical keyboard

    Don't see the point in a keyboard without a \ key. Sure, it's not a default keybind for many games, but it's one that I'd typically bind for ease of use.

    (\___/) (\___/) (\___/) (\___/) (\___/) (\___/) (\___/)
    (='.'=) (='.'=) (='.'=) (='.'=) (='.'=) (='.'=) (='.'=)
    (")_(") (")_(") (")_(") (")_(") (")_(") (")_(") (")_(")


    This is bunny and friends. He is fed up waiting for everyone to help him out, and decided to help himself instead!

    So, another expensive keyboard made for Americans sold to everyone else as if nothing ever changes on international lines? Woo! And a steal at only £110!

    Re: News - Cooler Master unveils Storm Trigger Z mechanical keyboard

    Hello everyone... As you can see in the pictures that are online and are posted on the press release the US layout keyboards are indeed in ANSI layout but do note that our UK layout and all other local EU layouts are ISO layouts!

    So for you ISO guys the big enter key.. Layout for UK layout is like: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Fi...ed_Kingdom.svg


    To add to this actually all our local EU layouts so also UK layouts are in ISO layout...
