Though 80 dollars is cheap by Mac standards so this is a barggin, and best of all it will actually work without breaking in 3 weeks.
i think it's really being sold toward mmos, even though they talk about the "edge" it can give you.
WoW is on mac...
As someone who has been using various Microsoft, Logitech, etc keyboards on his Macs for a long time, this is something I will have to consider next time around. It looks sharp.Hand raised and in addition I was doing it before most of you were born, had ever seen a PC, or played a video game.Lol, I can't think of one competitive gamer that uses a PC, other than Johnathan Wendel, and that's only because of the marketing. They really just aren't real celebrities in the real world, so of course people aren't going to know names.
Ninety nine plus percent of people who game on computers don't use Mac, just the way it is, and always will be. Now let it be said I have nothing against Unix, so I do not hate the Mac OS, just their overpriced hardware.
my dell keyboard is ps/2, over a decade old, and probably handles key ghosting better than something 8 times its worth.
And they market these as gaming boards, but mechanical boards are better, even just for typing. It is amazing the difference they make.
That said, I hate the Black Widows. Razer really dropped the ball on them. They are clicky keys, which is unacceptable in a gaming keyboard. Tactile I can live with (and even prefer), but the click drives me insane.
I know what you were trying to get at. It was just dumb (not to mention incorrect). Picking on Macs isn't funny anymore. It's worn out and stupid. Not to mention, 9/10 the person doing the picking is incorrect.
:laugh:
You can play WoW, SC2, League of Legends, Portal 2 (and the other valve stuff) on Mac with no problems... and kick in Windows when you need it for the stuff that hasn't been ported yet.:)
