5.0 out of 5 stars Awsome keyboard, 15 Aug 2006
By far one of the best gaming keyboards around, at the top with other zboard keyboards. good for typing and comfortable gaming contorls, easy access to keys so no need to look at your keyboard to see what keys you are using.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Gaming Keyboard, 30 Jun 2006
Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
Great keyboard. Mainly for gaming but pretty good typing keys as well. With the top notch software included and its price tag this is the best you can get for your money (At least to date).

Does improve your gaming skills!

5.0 out of 5 stars Gaming just got better., 24 May 2007
Fun:3.0 out of 5 stars 
I picked up this keyboard the other day, and I have to say it is well worth the money if you are a serious gamer. Finished in a cool black and silver hard plastic, it looks the biz and feels pretty sturdy, and it is quite a wide keyboard. To accommodate for this, Zboard have combined the cursor and home keys into the numpad, with lock keys to activate the various functions. TBH this is the only sensible option, as this keyboard would not fit on many desktops otherwise.

Now onto the main point of this board - the gaming pad! I must warn in advance that for a few days it takes some getting used too, but once you get the feel for it, you will not want to go back to an ordinary board. The main problem with the Pad is that it is a little cramped, and the number buttons are set in a rounded profile above the movement keys. This often makes it hard to hit the 3, which for most games is the primary weapon. Other than that I found the layout felt very natural and comfortable for long into the night server sessions.

The sortware that comes with the Zboard is easy to install, and it comes with most keysets pre mapped for the most popular online games.And there are loads of keysets for Fps, mmorpg, adventure and action. Just load the keymap and then start your game, and the keys are ready mapped. However you can still map the keys in the normal way if you do not like the mapping. As a side note - This is a different keyboard to the other Zboard products, in that you do not need to buy any extra keysets for games, that slot into the baseboard - this is a complete gamepad/keyboard combo that is software controlled, this means it is by far the cheaper option than having to buy a different keyset for your top games.

The only other problem with this keyboard is that the keys are set on rubber gromits, giving them a very spongy feel. If you do more word processing than gaming then I reckon you would be better off looking elsewhere - but for gamers this keyboard is a must.
