all those ranting about batteries, I have the dinovo edge for my HTPC sometimes I leave it off the charger for weeks on weeks and its still perfect. But then again id vote for getting a dinovo over the one posted by the OP.

my friend has this keyboard, i tried it out and liked it alot.
i am currently uses logitech's cheapest slim style keyboard, Logitech Ultra-X.
i have both the usb and ps/2 versions and both are discontinued now i think, i think its a good keyboard especially for the price, they just don't last too long.
i find that i type more accurately on a slim keyboard.
with normal sized keys i tend to stumble over them with my fingers which leads to mistakes. the size of the keys just get in the way for me.
looks nice but cables don't bother me.. I have holes in my desk for cable routing and I like not having to worry about replacing batteries and such.

I Hate wireless. You're playing a WoW's arena and, at the most critical moment, the keyboard/mouse's batteries just deplet.
Wired are much better.
Those new keyboards nowadays feel just like those laptop keyboards, I hate them. I am still using my old school Logitech Internet Pro from 2004/05 with the PS/2 connectors, to me it feels better than any keyboards out there.
Any ghosting issues? I heard the Illuminated can only 2 keypresses at once meaning no CTRL + ALT + "Something", I stil my have blue G15 which is super nice to type on but it looks like something a 13 year old boy would have. Its only because of the looks I would change it.

I've tried those Perfect Stroke keyboards and I don't care for them. after owning two keyboards with Cherry MX Browns and Blues I've been spoiled, and I've just gotten into the world of mechanical keys.

I just remember reading some guy mentioning something like the thing I typed as not being possible.
But anyway do anyone know if the normal Illuminated feels like a HP Envy's keyboard? I really liked how that felt when I tried typing on that a few days ago compared to the cheaper HP models.

Now that's what we're talking about. That is significantly closer to being the "holy grail". Does anyone know what kind of mechanical switches it uses? I'm guessing not cherry blue's because the constant clacks would drive people nuts at LAN parties, but there are a number of other choices.

im super happy with my Sidewinder X6, i like red backlighting, removable number pad makes it great for getting some extra desk space when i dont need it. and a volume dial is 100x better than +/- volume buttons
What's the point of an illuminated keyboard ?

It's too bad that company who was coming out with a trackpoint like pointing device / keyboard stopped production.
Are there any companies other than Lenovo that produce keyboards w/ a trackpoint / pointing stick? I'd pay through the nose for one.
It's all I use. I only recently bought a wireless mouse for SC2 since using the pointing stick aggressively for 2 hours = hurt index finger. Trackpoing + FPS = Dreamy. I still hate mice and can't use them for anything besides RTS.
You must [not] advance.

Can someone briefly explain to me what "mechanical" means in context to keyboard keys? I know that keyboards have a variety of key contact mechanisms, but I don't know which types fall under the "mechanical" moniker. Thanks.
