i think those are not media keys, they are modifiers.
modifiers = ctrl/alt/shift keys..

yi? what the sense to put it there?

so that u can have everything within your thumb reach?

Nope, it's not.

take a look at Arvo's firmware.


but for the Razer Anasi I'm not quite sure...

oho.. that's the reason game put weird key arrangement/binding to home/end/insert key etc..

but this will cause isolation ler.. not a standard..
later need to arrange the keys back for those not using that kind of keyboard..

They want to make it looks special from other kbs.. but it causes inconvenience to the users

i think the latest i found that kind of weird key binding is FIFA 11..
who the hell want to use WASD and the arrow keys with additional delete/page down keys etc..

hard to press those when manoeuvre..

other keys also badly mapping.. where can always use around WASD keys such as QERF etc..

combination of modifier keys, means that u can probably proigram a key as ctrl+alt, then the other as shift+alt, and etc etc as you wish..

wo why not just freely can bind what ever keys..
like g-keys can just set what ever combination that we want..

boring la.. press² with thumb while searching the numbering to execute the command..

just nice press one key only..

yea rather go with g keys easier, but the keys at the side of the keyboard like g110, sidewinder x4 damn annoying.

look at their position again..those thumb key is just at same position only
it won affect your gaming..the position is just exactly between ur 2 palm when you typing..don believe can go see any arvo browsing unit set

Added on October 27, 2010, 1:03 pmwhy you so dislike the arvo and anansi design
the manufacturer stated those modifier is allow those mmo player to do more key combination when they playing mmo
in mmo is not like dota only got few short cut key..but maybe 20 to 30 item and skill you need to press..thats why they come out with naga and anansi..those modifier not for bling purpose..
anyway i won buy those keyboard since i m not hardcore mmo player

@jasmineivan
and why u feel like offended when i comment about that?

it's much better when right hand hold the mouse or arrow keys.. while left hand can control almost the action..

not really la..you cant read my word and know i m offended la bro
simply vomit my opinion..just means that the modifier key is located at there won be pressed accidentally by ur palm ^^

u can read clearly what i'm stated there.. after that..
it's not about the keys location.. it's about the practicality on how to map the keys..

it would be just wise if not only restricted to those shift/ctrl/alt keys..

wouldnt it be nice to have your fingers stick to WASD and use your free thumb to press the modifier keys?
i think it's a perfect match with the razer naga.. if you use the Naga WoW-Addon, there are many different action bars that are seperated and triggered by different combination of modifier keys + number keys.. so naturally when you pair the anansi and naga together, it makes life easier for WoW players.. your left thumb will take care of all the modifier keys combination, and your right thumb will take care of the numbers..

Added on October 27, 2010, 1:40 pmi think you will not be limited to the modifier keys, i think as usual with razer drivers, all keys are programmable...

haha it would better can be like on/off button..
coz thumb required for the space bar..

if i not mistaken anansi almost whole keyboard 100++ keys all are programmable key
think those modifier also..can assign any macro or keystroke to them
quite an imba feature

you can do so many thing in a moment?? honestly i cant..naga with 12 side keys..then anansis use modifier with normal spell key can do maybe up to 36 combination..do you think it is easily do mistake??

haha later play until pengsan u know..
nowadays gaming give more stress than release the tension..

so many things to control, so many things to memorize and focusing for hours..
no wonder ppl can die while gaming..

well it depends how you interpret gaming.
if its a fun activity, it wont turn stressful.

run around and cast spell at the same time is not something that is very difficult rite?
it'll probably take 2 fingers to control your running, and 2 fingers to cast spell with the anansi + naga combo, that means 4 fingers at a time..
not sure how u're gonna do that with normal keyboard and mouse though..
