I had a G15 before until a couple of my female friends came into my room and saw that and laugh. It is just too ugly and isn't a chic magnet. I got rid of them. o0o Screw you G15.

O'RLY? i tot it is a high tech stuff with wachamaca LCD and blasooomsup programmable key? lol...it is a lil big. so wat are u using right now?

When you look at the design nicely, it kinda looks like Tranformers. It looks like a toy for a 3 yrs old kid. I'm using diNovo and S 510 now. Those are not gaming keyboards btw.

where can i find saitek product in malaysia?

I own a Saitek Blue Eclispse...its a chic magnet if lights are turned off...hahaha

The HORROR!!!!!
Yeah...SCREW YA G15!!!!

But seriously, I can understand what's a "gaming vga", "gaming mousepad" and a "gaming mouse" but just what the heck is a Gaming Keyboard?

More LED's?

Behold!!!!

My specially modified mobile gaming keyboard with money and credit cards discretely placed on top of it.

Guaranteed to attract attention of any chicks.. it ain't a chick magnet. It's a chick VACUMM CLEANER

lol...yeah. dun really fancy the G15. just wanna see wat others might have to say to it. lol...din know many ppl dun like it eh. compared to those in hardforums. hahaha...the G15 looks like some starship control panel eh?

i think can find saitek eclipse in lowyat. the bulk in here already closed long time ago. damn. how much is the retail price in lowyat?

there's many types of gaming keyboard. other than the listed ones, there's this DOOM 3 version of FPS keyboard if anyone remembered. it is hell ugly and not user frenly (other than, doom3?) from the looks of it. wonder who got that...


btw, sniperontheroof, i think gaming keyboard means a more expensive keyboard with fast response keys, supports multi keys at once feature, withstand excessive keypress? lol i broke my cheapo logitech white keyboard "a" key while trying to strafe in some games. gimme some money pls sniper...

This post has been edited by SpikeTwo: Jul 14 2006, 11:45 AM

can u recommend any shop selling Blue Eclispse? lowyat is big u know!
i don wan crawling there few hours pack wif insect blocking the way.

This post has been edited by evilme: Jul 14 2006, 12:14 PM

there's a shop in mid valley selling the eclipse for rm215 if i'm not mistaken.. its a gaming shop.. they sell joysticks n games also..

is this a gaming keyboard?



pic from forummer flatfingers, taken from the trade zone section

its is 1....but gila big lar take all the space...is there any space for the mouse to move?

yeah that shop that selling cd games ori and 'ehem-ehem' there...saw lot'za stocks there

hurm...will try bringing in these saitek eclipse...but there's a MOQ to be met and price oso within that range...

try the z-board. I use one and i'm pretty satisfied with it.

Good for those who want something "spoonfed". In my case, i'm using that for World of Warcraft, first person shooters.

and i'm giving it a 8.5/10.

wahh.. so big.. and if you look at the pic.. the back of the casing is facing the monitor,keyboard, mouse n ect.. doesn't the person get hot???... all the hot air being blown out on to the user

n what brand/tmodel is that keyboard?
a bulk sounds good..i think it has been discussed before.. i would be interested if its considerablly.. around rm180 maybe?

what about the zboard??

google up Z-Board.

The only thing i'll recommend is that if you're getting a Zboard, update your drivers by downloading them straight from www.zboard.com

You might want to check out their keyboard variety first, but what made me interested in Z-Board was the interchange-ability.

It may be cumbersome to many, but I gotta admit that I'm loving every minute of it.

no... wasnt asking about the zboard... i was suggesting the zboard.. i kinda like the new zboard merc... although its not really a keyboard.. lol

bring in saitek product.... now is age of bling2 pc....

In other words, ah beng's PC.

ah...moderno taiko speaks! hahaha...bring in some more gaming peripherals eh? i'll try to poison my fellow gaming frens.

dude, that's a wolfclaw! ah..i forgot to add that in. haha...seen it before on the net. looks kinda bulky and not so easy to press eh? HQ in singapore one. lol...

Link: Wolfclaw

now using logitech no problem with it
but see the saitek too cool ady =D

Saitek's gaming keyboard is the best in my opinion.not too "extremely" futuristic looking like G15.(Who the hell cares bout the LCD). Clean,cool looking keyboard.N it doesnt look ah beish too.Just love it.

agree about the g15 there.. why the heck would you look down at your keyboard to check your ammo and health?.. that just distracts your attention.. better to have it at the bottom of the screen no?

satisfied n happy Zboard (BF2) user here!.. why??
1..the keys layout veryyyy user friendly n easy to access!
2..big buttons for important keys in gaming!
3..very easy n fast to change keyset.
4..easy to clean up, just remove the keyset to clear all the dust/cig ash in btw/under ur keyset!
5..free BF2 t-shirt!

Nice keyboard.

By the way, can you purchase the keyboard only? Sans the mouse? The mouse they bundled with em looks hideous.

here mine


bought from Robyncom RM200, at CZone also have

this is my review

Pros:
Button is soo smooth and quite
light button, good for night gaming
the shift button is large, easy for use in game for jumping

Con
Price

whoa. RM200. hahah...hope there's a bulk soon!
moderno...where are u? hahaha...

hiya...i'm in desperate need of a usb-interface keyboard which fully supports n-key rollover, or jz a 7-key rollover will do.my budget is around rm100.a bit more is acceptable.

plz recommend a brand n model...thx!

hmm... why gaming keyboard? Just a BELKIN NOSTROMO would be good enough isn't it?

In fact, I find that all these gaming keyboards are purely hype, nothing special.

The fact that placing keys in DVORAK or QWERTY positioning is not ideal for gaming. Z-Board would be a gaming 'board' but not quite a keyboard in nature.

And I expect degree of pressures from the key; imagine keys on the keyboard that response to how deep or how rapid you tap the keys and perform the necessary action on the game? Like say car racing simulation, a key for throttle, another for clutch.

Imagine one finger on 50% of the clutch key while the other on full throttle and another finger braking gradually while drifting? Balancing?

Or games on diffusing bomb? Snipping some wire and moving the bomb to a safe location carefully tapping those keys at 20~25% degree of hardness?

you might wanna try the new Saitek Eclipse 2 or the Razer Tarantula

Today I went pc fair an saw a razer tarantula.I notice that we could get finger prints mark all over it very easily since it has a glossy surface.But overall I think it's very cool.

get a Steelkeys 6G

http://www.steelseries.com/

the keyboard looks normal...

if u wan to play o2jam...get samsung pleomax/trution..it support 7keys...alot ppl love this and hate this...love this coz extremely soft and very responsive...hate is coz sticky keys...but theres a way to make the keys not sticky lol...check o2forum for more info on sticky keys

hemm gaming keyboard.. still prefer the saitek eclipse the most.. especially the red special edition..

any1 use a4tech 1?
quite cheap

welp, more key strokes at once, more responsive keys....the most important thing, yeah, the hype, i'm a gamer, i'm rich, i have the cash to spend, i got my "pro" equipments, i feel good.

i prefer normal keyboards than those weird placement of keys which we cant type/chat in game. i find it ideal for games. car simulation on a keyboard for a gamer? you must be kidding me. buy a racing wheel. hardness is totally pointless for FPS gamers...i only need hyper response(tm) keys plus some macros. the tapping tasks could always be assigned to my mighty copperhead.


btw, the steelkeys looks typical...i wonder if the key will make noise with all springs over each single keys...haha...wonder how much is it. cool idea of changable keys tho...

it took me quite long time to find a keyboard that can play o2jam well lor....
this pleomax when i use normally...u try input "HAHA" fast....it come out only "HAA" lar....so sad bout that lar....

Ahh...all other keybaords are pwned b4 my board...Saitek Eclipse RED Special Edition...less eye-piercing than the blue...and dude...the RED which shows in the night....aw man...Darth Vader would say:" Duuude..."

Muahaha....pwnage



Sry for bad quality pic....my camera doesn't pwn....hehheh...

Aow dude...ur bright green mouse spoils the whole atmosphere man...my MX 518 is unseen in the dark...well, my 2 cents anyway..

haha...i'm gonna hold my horses cos it seems eclipse 2 is coming soon too. wanna fight tarantula face 2 face? XD

btw, how much is the saitek nowadays?

Let's see....hmm the price didn't change since I bought it around 3-4 months ago..

Eclipse Special Edition Red

Eclipse 2 (Backorder)

Eclipse, Z-Board n Tarantula, i rather to get Tarantula even not release yet...because, simple, like the conventional design...

dont really like the eclipse 2. lol...i mean the color combination. wonder wat's the extra functions in version 2.
tarantula RM350 le...haha...still waiting for it to official launch.

My precious

nervous when lookin at the precious eh?
hope there's green color for saitek to fit my green CH. lol...

keep dreaming for a green saitek

even tarantula i heard at launch only going to release blue.
red/green tarantula scrapped for awhile.

but the new saitek2 has 2 lights in it, red and blue, and can combine become purple.

let's mod the saitek to become green to fit our green CH. hahaha...
when tarantula out le? wait wait so long liaw...hope after the gay blue, they will release some green and red. XD

keys look too slim le. the feelings wont be nice if it feels like hitting a notebook key. lol...


anyone got this and would like to give a review?

last time at the pcfair it was 99 IINM

almost bought it , till i realised that my logitech easy keyboard still working fine

maybe also saving money for the next gen keyboards

that everglide keyboard is ok, has usb connections and multimedia keys.
but it feels abit light and flimsy.

keyboard also has gaming edition?not same meh?

its to please their mental needs for "leetness"

i'm so gonna get flamed

thay keybord is too slim to be used as a gaming keyboard... i tried it before.. i just hate slim keyboards

yeah same here. i hate slim keyabords. just feels like playing on notebook. which is gay. like creative fatality gaming keyboard. i LOLed at that.

hi everyone..i planning to get a gaming keyboard..just a normal 1..my budget below 200..any recomendation?

IMHO from what i read around here , the best option for you would be the eclipse

anyway, anyone know which shop dealer got sell saitek keyboard? saitek keyboard is freaking nice.

Robyncom.

i read ur post and it is exactly opposite to what happened to me..

i went to lowyat with a female friend and she is the one who encourage me to buy the g15. she says it looks nice with blue led and got lcd screen summore..

Saitek Eclipse II Illuminated Keyboard super bling bling!

This post has been edited by iPlay: Sep 10 2006, 01:25 AM

can tell me the saitek keyboard, can press how many key in one time?

My personal tested about 10...coz I only have 10 fingers. My toes couldn't reach... But don't worry dude...this board is built tough, pretty heavy and well built. keys are decent, and big enough. You'll love it the first time u type on it, trust me on this...

for sure 10 key in one time? i love the design and everything, just tht normal keyboard can like press 3 key in one time, u press more than tht won't be active, so was wondering saitek keyboard how izzit.

when saitek eclipse 2 gonna out? lol...

when it's gonna be in Malaysia? i'm interested!!!!

Design Saitek Eclipse II....



Compare with Saitek Eclipse

but the eclipse II can change 3 different colour le. nice!

yeah...the eclipse 2 design kinda gay. but maybe it got some latest tech. LOL!!! hopefully by the time eclipse 2 came, saitek ecplise will drop price. muahahaha...then i will mod the LED to green!

Any of u fellas here thought about getting the Logitech G15. All I can say is, IT'S AWESOME!

The graphical LCD on it is fully customisable with an LCD program. It can show anything u want, even photos n moving images. I programmed it to show my system stats so I can monitor all the important temperatures, speeds, voltages while gaming without having to Alt+Tab out of the game. It is coolness personified. Here's sum pix.



Lights on pic.





Lights off.






The awesome graphical LCD.

Yeah ianho, the G15 does look good to me...

How much aa that keyboard?
If have extra money i oso wanna buy it...

yea, how much is it ar?
i wanna see votes. vote btw saitek eclipse n G15. vote vote

Saitek RM215 Logitech about RM299

Price difference that much lolx

it's so exp.. >

Keyboard not important for gaming. Just mouse only.

yeah man... totally agree with you, i think i'm not gonna spend my money on such an exp keyboard la..

hmmm G15 looks good too, but my vote goes to saitek. cause looks cooler.

I said that because already spend money on Razer Copperhead. If got more money, sure Saitek Eclipse is my choice.

This post has been edited by ikan_semilang: Sep 12 2006, 10:08 PM

lol...i also want saitek le. G15 is too huge! i want something simple yet, a gaming keyboard.

agree, same thought here.

go for saitek ecliplseII..? does anybody know where can it be found..? m'sia dun have it yet.....

Perhaps it's cheaper and sure we bargain it. But which part at gaming keyboard u're using it?

Hopefully, someone doing a bulk for EclipseII ...

EclipseII also havn't launch.. not meh?

EcpliseII - cheaper
Eclipse - more cheaper....

If not mistaken, it launched few weeks ago.. or 1-2mths ago? (as u can see their official site oredi selling it)... but it seems its selling in U.S/Canada nia... according to some peeps in other forum.

Cheers

Just want to share some photoshoot at CELGame 2006 booth at Low Yat
Everglide Gaming Keyboard was one of the co-sponsor for this time too...
