Zowie Celiritas.

They spent too much time on the product name and not enough on the company name.

The Living Daylights is one of my favorite Bond films, although I still think Goldeneye was the best.

Not least because almost all the keyboards in it were Model Ms :P

That keyboard referenced in the OP has a name that sounds too much like "celery".

We might want to pose a ' science ' question on the GH application form to avoid spammers......

Something techy : ' Name a clicky AND tactile switch ?'
or maybe something more GH people oriented : ' What is the name of the person who is great with lego? '

;-)

I mostly IP-ban the lot of them when I encounter them.... Pesky little brats....

Mythology snark for the win!

I like the automatons the best:

PROSTAGMA?

It's funny they use old Greek for some of the phrases (like skopos), if you're witty, you'll know that's where we get our modern word "scope" from. It means watchman.

Other phrases are a mix between Latin & Greek, which is cool (it means there's still some people who can THINK). Age of Mythology is a very flavourful game. But since Bill Gates shut down ensemble studios (Tony Goodman set up another company however), I don't think a sequel will be made. But perhaps sequel is not needed, they usually mess them up anyhow, and you prefer the original.

Age of Empires 3 definitely is a good example, I knew that game was trash; didn't even have to try it out. It used the age of mythology engine, but butchered it all, forced age of empires into a newer age -- the game is more accustomed to earlier periods. That's what makes it fun! No teutonic knights or phalanx = boring.

PS: the age of empires 1 site is still up on microsoft:
http://www.microsoft.com/games/empires/
That thing is ancient in itself... "game of the year, 1997!" Hey, just when my favourite computer was built!

Since Mad Catz was mentioned, seems like they are at it.

Mad Catz Keyboard survey

Not even sure if it's official but if it turns out to be then I'm guessing if they put that much effort on the RAT and people are wanting to buy a matching set KB/M, then seems like they are considering keyboard with the aesthetics of the mouse.

Maybe the numpad will slide under the keyboard when not needed =P

That would actually be a pretty awesome idea.

Do you mean like it can change modes i.e. Battle stations?

That would be awesome.

I don't know the translation isn't very good. when you activate Game Mode it does something to the L-Windows Key. I don't think it simply disables it but rather turns it into another function.

if you look closely at the L-Windows Key it has the Windows Logo but also says Ctrl.

yeah so I sent it to my friend over at OCN who lives in Taiwan and speaks better english than I do. he said when you activate Game Mode it turns the L-Windows Key into third Ctrl Key for games like Starcraft 2.

Hmm interesting. As i'm concerned, for over a year now i go from time to time in a computer store to search for good (new) pc games. But i never got interested, there was nothing special coming out. i was even searching in review sites for a game i like but with no find. the only game i bought was Sctarcraft 2 recently and before that year just some classic games. Somehow the new games are boring. Maybe many people feel the same.

$150?

Zowie!  Less PC gamers so let's charge more per gamer.

What do you expect from a company who wants 60$ for a painted IMO 1.1 or an actually pretty simpel 5 Button Mice.

Get a PS3.   Doubleshot keys!  Nkey (individual lines to the controller - no diodes needed)!  Tactile quiet keys!

And most importantly....

lol, lotsa hate in this thread

@ripster
i dont see how PC gaming is dying, if ChartTrack doesnt count digital downloads their numbers mean literally nothing. considering about 50% of games are sold digitally and its taking the market share that was hardcopies. theres also piracy which is rising apparently. and its flawed in the first place because the number of new games being bought isnt a good way to calculate the number of people playing any pc game, specially with the increase of pay to play games with new content like WoW.

its like saying music is dying cause no one buys CD's at HMV anymore.

it is a good analogy because it shows a decline yet we KNOW the amount of people who listen to music has actually grown :)

oh its possible to press/use 7+ keys by the way

you can press 2 keys with the same finger, like that guy said. in MOHAA to be any good you need to press a strafe and lean key at the same time.
technically you could do like forward, strafe, lean, use, reload, walk, crouch, jump (w, a, q, f, r, shift, ctrl, space)
