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.

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.

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.

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

Nevermind. The keyboard is too advanced for you anyways.
