Cherry mx blacks included! Of course! Makes it a insta-win.

Is it just me, or does it look like this thing can swipe your credit card on the left hand side too? Rofl.

Nope, thats actually a cover to hook up the numpad...you can hook it up left or right of the main board.

altho it looks pretty neat (especially since you have the option to remove numpad) the black switches are a giant turn off for me =/

Id rather buy a leopold and spend the rest of the money for nice keycaps. Jesus christ this "tank" is more expensive than leopold.

Edit: blacks is ugly anyway

And the IGN article link to the manufacturer is broken.  Do these people never actually *check* what they are posting?  So annoying.

"a new heavy-duty gaming keyboard that is designed to be spill-resistant with tight rubberized seals and special drainage gutters."
 I am starting to understand.

I actually have a RAT 7 mouse and like it. (except the palm rest is a little wobbly, and the thumb scroll doesn't do what I was hoping it would do, that is, scroll sideways.)

I'm thinking that I would not have the same opinion of that keyboard.

Spillproof? I spilled a cup of steaming hot coffee on my KBC Poker 2 days ago...
Stopped working until I dried the controller with canned air, now it works like before!
