Award? No! They cause serious headaches to localization translators...
Well, hell, give'em an Award for Making us laugh

Vancha · Nov 24, 2010, 12:15 PM

Their main Tt eSports page describes it as having "obsessional backlight"...

These guys are starting to rival Razer for painful marketing.

Play3r · Nov 24, 2010, 12:30 PM

Its basically a Sidewinder tbh

Sasqui · Nov 24, 2010, 01:27 PM

I wonder if the customization software (aka "Innovative customization GUI"

) is as well written as the marketing bullets.

At least they put the arrow keys in the right location.

TheMailMan78 · Nov 24, 2010, 02:18 PM

I like the headphone jacks. Thats kinda nice IMO.

roast · Nov 24, 2010, 05:24 PM

Snazzy. No info on availibility or pricing though...

AthlonX2 · Nov 24, 2010, 05:28 PM

Its at least 80$ the one i have was 70$ and this one is the model above

Meizuman · Nov 24, 2010, 07:29 PM

Looks really promising. Sidewinder X6 has over 90 macros, but still. This has some really l33t features that Sidewinder lacks.

popswala · Nov 24, 2010, 07:54 PM

I like the color themes on it. Back light as in just under the keys? so the letters and numbers don't light then? hmm. I love my cyborg but am tempted to get this. I like the media and lighting keys separate tho. Easily to find and use that way IMO. Wonder what the $$ will be on this.
