Totally true. With one slight difference. In an FPS, any damned keyboard will do. The best gaming keyboard in the world won't make a difference in FPS gaming, simply because keyboards don't need to be as lightning fast as mice do. As long as there's no extremely horrible delay time, any keyboard works fine. The only reason I got my Reclusa was because it's bling and I got it for cheap. I honestly don't believe that the Reclusa makes me any better than my old Comfort Curve. Now if you're playing games like WoW where macros are important, then gaming keyboards do make a difference. But other than that, keyboards are basically the same.

Your point about price/performance is absolutely correct though. For the price, nothing quite beats A4tech. But when budget is not an issue, A4tech doesn't beat anyone. That's what I've been saying for a long while now.

Agree with some of your point...but from mine side...I would say a4 is giving users performance but in affordable price. So far from my office colleague usage, all of them are satisfied with their performance and comfortable. We are not using the gaming keyboard for office, but only very normal classical keyboard. Even if budget is not an issue, i still believe a4 have their place in market but sure not in a low end area... Just a point view which i believe in... peace bro

well, kinda FPS games whore here   

now the keyboard is in the box ready to be sent for warranty at New Era...luckily it was made with two years warranty!

within one year...maybe the sweat on my finger made the keys faded

not yet sent for RMA...end of this month most probably...kinda hard for me to go to New Era at TTDI Plaza coz now at Melaka..

i had revised my budget flexible up to 150 -180 dolar .. thanks for ur recommendation

is too much... reallly too much.. u think going lowyat very easy ar.. so far n jam sumore... this stupid keyboard really pisses me..
A4 tech good luck ..ZZZ

kesian what ? shit head la... A4tech... A4 tech should be Z4tech..
now what  to do with my multimdia key n macro key? it just wont work.. espeicially multimedia.. shit head stuff come out..

We got some A4tech dogs here.. my post got deleted.. I wish evrry1 in here pay speicial attention to my account...

True. I saw the latest price is Rm269 only at LYP.

Yes. Rm269 from the latest pricelist I took yesterday . Even webcam Logitech S5500 also Rm119. I also surprise since most of the shops selling at Rm130++.

Hehe. Startec. That's the distributor cost

It's already selling at that price.

I don't mind flat keys since I've used to the laptop keypads already xD

Well the 1st batch of the Lycosa got problem but they have called it all back for RMA, well I think the latest batch shouldn't have any problem, if got problem got 3 years warranty

What cost?

yup , just the key is printed wrongly... Must be one of the my batch has this problem. Hope shop didn't display it, and some random gamer come and point out asking "what with this keyboard? No '(' button??
