if you get one of the ones with browns, 40$ shipping isnt that bad. I got my board for 30+44 shipping to germany and it is the best board Ive had so far for what i need at work. Ive programmed autocad shortcuts to the extra buttons, for example. Only gripe I have with the board is left shift...I don't understand why they put the ANSI shift on a board with an ISO enter. So im basically missing a button for the regular ISO layout, but im slowly adapting to not having it.
Even with clears this board is a solid performer, especially in situations where you can use extra macro keys, I keep hearing MMO-players asking for more buttons^^. I find the programmable buttons around the arrow keys nice and comfortable to use, and could imagine arrow cluster gamers would love this layout.
