http://news.softpedia.com/news/Thermaltake-Meka-G-Is-a-New-Mechanical-Keyboard-200355.shtml

Cherry mx Black

Backlight(Game backlight mode as well only the keys the game uses light up)

Macro(60 macro system

Seems like a customized Logitech G19/G110 with mechanical keys.

Interesting... 60 macros per profile? I can really use that

I have the Mega G1 and it's pretty nice except for that rope they called cable. It should be a pretty good keyboard if it has similar quality. How much is it?

Wow - maybe that will give mionix a run for their money? Anyway, I wonder what the backlighting color will be. It's nice seeing all these new options!

That L enter key gets to me everytime. Seriously, why do companies do this, you would maximize so much revenue in the US, if you just fixed that damn shape. Get your **** together, talking to you, Steelseries..

Can anyone explain to me why they do the L enter key? I mean from a gamer perspective since these are marketed to gamers. I game, but I find I pretty much never have to press enter in a game, unless it's in game chat where I'm just typing regular anyway. I remember when Steelseries came out, they said they consulted top gamers and said they were told the L shape enter is better, don't know why.

It's just different layout. Most of the US layouts have bar Enter keys where other countries' are different. For example, Japan has different shape Enter key and Korea uses L Enter key widely.
I am a gamer, and I don't really mind whether Enter is L or not. But I do mind when backspace is shorter...
Many games don't utilize Enter that often anyway so I don't think it matters anyhow.

Well that's kinda my point. :-)

That's why I'm putting forth the question, if anyone knew why gaming companies seem to think this style is better.

Oh well, firstly it looks like this.

Then it come out with the mini version.

Cause most progamers are now Koreans are and L shaped Enter ones are the layout they use XD
And Steelseries are just implying that and saying "Now it's L shaped, now it's for progamers" lol

You can have it for $80 + shipping - pm me

1 week of total usage. Awesome board w/ Cherry black except for the gigantic cable. I have too many full size keyboards and looking to get a tenkeyless if I can sell it.

i'm not down with the angular styling. i think their first effort was better looking. it also kills me that they (companies that exploit the 'gamer' market in general) keep tending to make 'gamer' boards bigger and bigger which in my opinion results in a less comfortable experience. before too long it will be like 2 keyboards side by side in length. i don't like having my arms spread way apart. when i'm gaming 10keyless or smaller is a must. also i refuse to buy any keyboard that does not have a straight bar enter key. i need my backslash where it belongs. i will give them kudos for actually using mechanical switches and not only membrane like i would have expected from thermaltake. considering the terrible quality of many of their other products. at least its still better looking than the challenger. i lol'd hard at the built in hand fan gimmick on that one.

noodles256 · « **Reply #14 on:** Sat, 14 May 2011, 01:23:17 »

is it the mini one? I want the mini one

edit - I guess not, since you link large one in video =[

mmmty · « **Reply #15 on:** Sat, 14 May 2011, 01:41:19 »

Fine! I'll put it in classifieds section. I'm sure somebody will want it. If not, I don't mind keeping it

OMG, I have the 20 Amp industrial Blendtec Q-series Smoother. That was the best purchase I have ever made.

Tallon · « **Reply #17 on:** Sat, 14 May 2011, 10:11:53 »

The large enter key really does kill this for me.

RiGS · « **Reply #18 on:** Sat, 14 May 2011, 10:21:27 »

The Bigass name for that L-shaped black Enter is confusing and stupid.
It is the same as calling The Keyboard Company KBC.

mmmty · « **Reply #19 on:** Sat, 14 May 2011, 10:21:43 »

I thought this was BIG ass...

MasterBlaster · « **Reply #20 on:** Sun, 15 May 2011, 08:58:27 »
