Ok, I get it now. Thanks for the explanation.
I very rarely game, so it's not so much an issue for me. I care way more about typing feel/layout/etc.
As far as this board goes, I think that what keeps me from getting it is the layout - it looks like it might be awkward to type on with the trackpad where it is, and maybe the size of it coming off of the desk. The layout might also be too compact, and it's missing a super(win) key. I'd be tempted to remap this and move some of the caps around I think.
If I had more time, I'd probably get one just to play around with and take a stab at modding it - changing the leds out, stuff like that.
