    Oh look. Another straight keyboard with LEDs.

    Where has all the innovation gone in the market? Where's the ergonomic challengers? The Dvorak nutters?

    Yeah I would love an ergonomic back lit keyboard.... I absolutely hate working on straight keyboards having used ergonomic ones for the last 10 years.

    More importantly... Why hasn't anyone come up with a better gaming dedicated keyboard? People spend so much money on hybrid devices, but there's got to be plenty of people out there (myself included) who find that the basic qwerty keyboard layout is at best a compromise for gaming purposes - it's obviously not designed with the "home" keys being ASDW. I feel like the Merc Steele series tried, did a horrible job when they created their completely flat side board with no tactile feedback (which of course failed), and no one else really even gave it a go.

    There's always gamepads such as the Razer Orbweaver that are tailored for that perfect gaming experience. As for ergonomic backlit keyboards, there are boutique makers that make them, but they're usually upwards of 200-300 dollars.

    and US layout.... I've seen them and they all seem to be US layout which is really bad for someone in the UK who's used to their keys being in the right place .

    I hope they won't make a mining range.
