the quick and dirty : I have to buy a new keyboard when I dump a full glass of wine on my old one . this one be great . backlight rock . the macro key be all but useless . the keyboard be a bit thick so you finger will take a bit to get use to it . the thing be a bit wide , too . the lcd version be relatively useless for gaming since you have to take you eye off the screen to look at it , though there be a subculture that code all sort of thing for it . I highly recommend this keyboard .
