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.

My keyboard is built in O_O

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

WetWired 2004-10-06 06:27 AM

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

Vollstrecker 2004-10-06 07:30 AM

It has a FPS keyset also...

kockblocker1 2004-10-06 11:00 AM

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.

zagggon 2004-10-06 11:32 AM

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

Vollstrecker 2004-10-06 12:44 PM

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.

Aren't you playing in closed beta now?

zagggon 2004-10-06 01:42 PM

Damn you lucky people...

Randuin was kind enough to share his account with me, so I play when he's not. :D

iceman887 2004-10-06 08:01 PM

no i mean since i am use to playing fps games with a normal keyboard, it i won't be as good if i switch and besides, it cost too much for me

Randuin 2004-10-06 09:54 PM

I'm so getting that.

Bleeding Christ...

Nevermind. The keyboard is too advanced for you anyways.
