This is going to be like an hour long Woot... anyone who buys a keyboard without them being lighted is nutz.

If it is anything like my Razer Lycosa the keys are indeed backlit in cool blue fashion wich can be turned off and on.

When off, the keys look like they are stealth mode.

It finally happened - they gave a Woot and nobody came...

Really, I'm not blue, I don't have a ratty beard, and I NEVER wear pink.

ESDF solidarity, brother! ;)



I dont think its more "natural" but its more "logical" since your pointer is suppose to be on the F anyways, I think i will start using esdf, thanks guys

The keys light up blue. You can also light up just the W, A, S, and D keys if you want.

I bought one of these on here a few months back. I love. When I press the keys, it's like I'm pressing nothing at all. I know most people won't enjoy that though.

Right? Not everyone uses WASD (not that I use ESDF either), but it doesn't make sense to leave the home keys.

My config is:
SDF[SPACE]

S: left
D: forward
F: right
SPACE: back

Thumb1 on my mouse = jump
Thumb2 on my mouse = voice

Really? Do you stare at your keys as you type? Anyone who needs letters printed on their keyboard doesn't know how to touch-type. This is a real gamer's keyboard:

Plus, it frees up extra keys that can be bound on the left, for your pinkie to get more use. Back in the original TF days, with all the stuff you could bind, every finger had to pull its weight.

Wow. 1? 1? You sell gaming keyboards to the unemployed infomercial watchers for the past 2 days, finally one comes up during decent hours and there's only 1 available!? Thanks.

I think additionally that the left side ctrl and shift keys are a bit of an extra stretch for those without graceful piano player hands.
