I did a search but didn't find any threads about it.
Anyway i was reading a review and it mentioned some feature to customize the fonts o_O;
Is the shift a mechanical keyboard ? Also any thoughts about the customizable key fonts ?

It's a rubber dome as you can clearly see on their product page and when they take the key set off.

Maybe not the font, but the keysets which are customizable.

I have tried it already, it has somewhat nice rubber dome and the product page said that it's more durable than treditional rubber dome too.
It has on-the-fly macros, media keys, all of those good stuffs (except LEDs). But I think the macro keys are a little awkward to press. The keyboard itself has a pretty solid build.
The keyset are changable for specific games like the older Zboard with nice improvments, maybe the only board from SteelSeries that have macro capability :)
black domes FTW lol!
software-wise, in the vid above they said that the software of the keyboard can even suggest you to remap the keys! My crappy Lycosa now looking so dumb!
