If Steam started releasing games for Mac then I'm sure there is a market.

Ah more fodder for Mac enthusiasts to use to explain how mac is better than PC.
Does it need to make sense? Not at all. |

Macs are good PCs. They are just overpriced for their specs, and have a killer fanboy/cult following that turns off other PC users.
Mac gaming is on the rise, and so is casual gaming. Add in the fact that most games are console ports that can run on the old Xbox360 hardware and even Mac users can play. It just means more n00bs to pwn! |

Looks just like any other "gaming" keyboard. Where is the aluminium, magnesium, glossy white plastic and transparent decoration? This one has no connection to the Apple brand at all.

Who uses Cherry MX Blues for gaming? MX Blues have a longer actuation point than MX Browns or Blacks which are better for gaming, MX Blacks are good for gaming but fatiguing for typing.
Whats the point in a new keyboard just to change a few characters from a windows keys ect? Do you get WOW on Mac?

If I won a shiny new iMac or something, I'd definitely play my Steam games on it because it has a nice $800+ IPS display built in, a nice form factor, etc. Good hardware, which explains the price for the most part, but the general user base tends to be hipsters or elitist rich kids which is a turn-off.
