Looking forward to the Roccat Ryos MK-Pro RGB gaming keyboards this Fall

Keyboards start at 4:45 mark.

I love the Roccat Ryos MK Pro TKL but holding out for RGB.  Here are some in depth reviews of the Roccat Ryos which the RGBs will also include.

The lighting is pretty cool on those keyboards but they seem very big around the edges. That mmo mouse seems cool with the modular design as well.

Yeah wrist support is big with gaming keyboards, to prevent tiring.

Yeah wrist support is big with gaming keyboards, to prevent tiring. 

The problem that I have with things like the Roccat is that an extension of the case does not constitute a nice wrist support. For anyone who already owns a decent leather, wood, or even cloth-and-gel wrist rest, using something like the Roccat would force a significant downgrade in wrist rest quality; and even if you don't already have a wrist rest, using a keyboard with a non-removable built in rest means that you can't upgrade your wrist rest without switching or modifying your keyboard.

Check out this guys review of the Microsoft Sidewinder X6 (scissor switch) gaming keyboard where he discusses the wrist rest.

A lot of gamers like scissor switches or chiclets and really flat keyboards for extended gaming.  Like the Razer Deathstalker or Steelseeries Apex

That being said, gaming keypads are a better solution than gaming keyboards for no compromise comfort/performance.

I like the mechanical switches or scissor switches myself, and really like the any key macro ability of many of the gaming keyboards, plus individual key backlighting control (especially with full RGB) for learning new game controls.  Plus Tenkeyless to pull the mouse in closer.
