Taken from the WoW Community Site:

Blizzard Entertainment and Ideazon have come together to produce the World of Warcraft Zboard Keyset. This limited edition Keyset will allow players to fully immerse themselves in World of Warcraft and allow players to access the game in ways that traditional keyboards cannot offer.

More info can be found here (http://www.blizzard.com/press/10-05-04-zboard.shtml).

I doubt it does too much more than a normal keyboard. Probably just a marketing scheme. Still, someone buy it and confirm my guess.

It's basicly just a custom keyboard with labels, except that you have to buy the main unit to use it with.

On the right, it has shortcut keys to various things instead of the Numpad. Amusing. I'm curious as to how much they're wanting for it, lol.

YUCK! $49.9 for the zBoard, then $19.99 for the WoW Keyset! No thank you!

That would be uncomfortable to use... I know I would never use that outside of WoW and I would hate switching back and forth from keyboards...

It's just a keyboard with a not so nice logo on it and programmable keys.. so what?

What do you mean, $20 for the WoW keyset? You have to buy stickers and drivers to slap on there?

If I was really rich I might do it since I need a new keyboard anyway =o

No, the actual key surface folds in 3, and the zBoard comes with I think 3 different ones (one of which is a normal keyboard layout), and then you buy this thing extra. The different layouts are automatically recognized and mapped by the zBoard when you place them on the base unit.

ive seen those before, and i wouldn't want it because i play fps games also, and i don't want to change keyboards because it is harder to get use to it and i want to just stick with a regular old keyboard

I would much rather give this a try for FPS games:

I would consider the Zboard for WoW. Remembering hot keys is not one of my strong points. I don't think I even memorized all the hotkeys for D2 and I have been playing it for a long ass time.

WoW is not as fast paced as d2 from what I hear, so I dont think this is very important.

It can be, for PvP, from what I hear. I have yet to get a character very high level to see. I'm still investigating classes and trade skills.

Nevermind. The keyboard is too advanced for you anyways.

My patience has been thin, as of late. Let me explain it to you:

The keyboard has different sets of keys for it. You could take off the WoW keyset, and put on a regular one, or even one made for a FPS game. The keys on it are modular.

D2 hot keys are very simple compared to what this games hotkeys will be im sure...... This keyboard seems like it would be very useful for a month or two but after my fingers remember where to go all the labels are kind of useless...

You questioned his ability to read, of course
