Hey guys, i didnt know if anyone else here used zboards or not, but i love mine. I was hopeing that they would make a limited edition keyset like they have for eq and eq2 for giuld wars. I sent them feedback telling them to do it.

(yes i know a zboard may seem like a watse of money to some, but my girlfriend works @ compusa so i get to buy this kinda stuff.)

You lucky person. Zboard made a layout for WoW, and EQII, so I don't see why they wouldn't make one for GW.

Bleh, I'm sticking to my Compaq keyboard until the buttons either a)brake off or b) stop functioning due to all the soda and other stuff I spillt on it.

I'd have to agree there.
Also, looks horrible to type on.

Looking at the EQII Zbard with all the black buttons over the right for things like "Inventory", it seems useless, its easier to just press I, the only thing useful i can see are the Emotes on the F Keys but im not spending loads of money for that. I might aswell just print off a GW pic and stick it on my keyboard and say its a Zboard.

I agree with Nash.

I've had no problem using my normal keyboard to get all of my skills and such out, and it's become quite natural for me to shift between using the keypad to move and my number pad to use my skills, so I think I'll just stick with this.

Speaking of keyboards, has anyone tried the Saitek gaming keyboard? (http://www.saitekusa.com/usa/prod/gamerskey.htm)

I don't think I am gonna replace my microsoft keyboard anytime soon, but I have heard good reviews about the Saitek keyboard. Is it actually worth the money?

I agree with Nash and DatD. Zboards are an utter waste of currency. And plastic.

Tried, no. Seen, yes. It looks...interesting.

I ought to look into a few of its reviews, lest I just go for the Logitech wireless keyboard bundled with the MX1000 laser mouse (the latter of which I already have but could always pass on to someone else).

Well, they have one now...and it looks pretty sweet. Although being an AWSD player I am still up in the air as to if I will buy it. But they have a lot of options already bound in to the keys (like function keys do emotes)...also for those of you who haven't seen one, ZBoard comes with two sets of keysets; a standard set for typing and another for gaming. Anyway, here it is :

Seems pointless to me. Only newer players that do not know their keys well should think of getting the zboard.

To me it just complicates things. Most of the time, you don't look at your keyboard.

But ... but ... it's pretty!

I plan on getting one of the keysets, whenever they come out. I'll report back on how well it works (from someone who's very used to the current key settings)
