Honestly this looks just like another overpriced Gamer Keyboard with fancy lights to me.
Why should I pay 229$ for this board if I could get a Filco/Ducky for less money?
The only thing that is a little interesting is the alu case, but overall the board is way to big for me. I prefer TKL boards so this giant 104key board with the integrated wrist rest just takes too much space away from my desk.
But hey, that's just my personal opinion - maybe others like it :)
Hey guys. We have discovered a keyboard brand out there that we are considering carrying, but we want your input. Have you ever heard of Rogue, would you be interested in buying one, etc. Thoughts...?Show Image(http://www.roguegamegear.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/rogue_board_mondo_design.jpg)

So far, it looks like these only come in Black Cherry MX switches...doh! But, if you would want them in other flavors, let us know...
Hm. If this had been around a few years ago, when I was still using a Mac, I probably would have given it a second look, just because of the shortage of keyboards combining a true Mac layout (command key next to space rather than between control and option/alt, Mac-style number pad with small +) and gaming features. Dunno if I'd have decided in its favor in the end-- the price is a bit rich for no mention of keycap material/construction, and I only award bonus points for using steel, not aluminum-- but it certainly would have been considered.

So, you're saying this keyboard is a has-been all the way, eh?

Well, for me, personally, I don't use a Mac anymore, so I no longer have use for such a thing. But I feel that, when I did have a Mac, this keyboard might well have appealed to me (in fact, I never really found a keyboard for Mac that I was entirely happy with by the time my last Mac expired), and if there are people with the same preferences now as I had then, they might be interested.
Then again, I'm kind of weird, so expecting there to be a market of people like me out there might not be the best bet.
