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.

urgh this thing is ugly.... and minimum so overpriced as ugly

AvenZerg · « **Reply #3 on:** Thu, 27 October 2011, 14:24:19 »

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

Looks like a Hummer

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.

Since when did Caterpillar decide to get in on the mechanical keyboard game?

Bry · « **Reply #12 on:** Thu, 27 October 2011, 18:51:55 »

That thing is ****ing ugly. Looks like a damn tonka truck or something. Childish.

N8N · « **Reply #13 on:** Thu, 27 October 2011, 18:53:47 »

My God, it's like what would happen if you gave one of those guys who thinks that a Honda Civic with a fart can and basket handle is cool a Leopold and told him to go nuts.

Bry · « **Reply #14 on:** Thu, 27 October 2011, 19:00:55 »

I wonder if this one has rubber dome function keys too XD

damn and I thought the 6gv2 was a tank, when the zombies take over I know what my melee weapon is

Oqsy · « **Reply #16 on:** Thu, 27 October 2011, 19:14:36 »

Looks as ****ty as those mice with pointy bits sticking out, or anything labeled "Razer" or "gaming".

N8N · « **Reply #17 on:** Thu, 27 October 2011, 19:27:58 »

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!

Impure · « **Reply #19 on:** Fri, 28 October 2011, 11:23:56 »

Cherry Blacks? Pass xD
