  • Detachable keypad is genius. Sexy styling. Quality construction. More macro keys than you can shake a light saber at. Cruise control feature. Good software.
  • Expensive price tag and it lacks the LCD panel featured on its main competitor. Layout of main key groups slightly compressed. Awkward placement of Esc key.

  • Comfortable keys, Large volume and backlight dials, Swappable Numpad (doubles up as macro keys), Plenty of programmable macro keys, Aggressively priced, Killer looks.
  • Lack of USB ports.
  • If youre a fan of RTS and MMORPGs and have a hard time remembering key combinations, then this is the keyboard for you. Its a good move from Microsoft to exclude an LCD screen since it helps bring down the cost. Whats sad is the missing USB ports ...

  • Surprenant et rassurant par le design et la fabrication, ce clavier trônera fièrement une fois posé sur un bureau. La fonction macro est bien sur appréciée, tout comme le positionnement des touches « raccourci », un utilisateur régulier connaissant en ...

  • Quelques nouvelles fonctions vraiment bien trouvées, Jusqu'à 90 macros !, Boutons analogiques pour l'éclairage et le volume, Robustesse, Vraiment taillé pour les jeux... d'action
  • Bruit des touches !, Prix, 90 macros : n'est ce pas un peu démago ?, Look très gamer : madame risque de ne pas adorer, Besoin de s'habituer à la nouvelle disposition des touches
  • Tout dépend de votre sensibilité au bruit. Si vous vous en fichez : il vaut presque 5 étoiles ! Si vous y êtes très sensible : il ne doit pas entrer dans votre bureau....

  • Pavé numérique détachable, Macro enregistrables en plein jeu, Rétroéclairage et touches spéciales pour les jeux
  • Pas décran LCD
  • Le joueur PC est de plus en plus choyé par les constructeurs informatiques : des souris ultrarapides aux «griffes» de jeu, en passant par les tapis de souris qui favorisent la glisse, tout est bon pour optimiser le «travail» du joueur. Sil y a une piè...
