which Riverside store? I went to the one that is basically in Moreno Valley off Day, it is still considered Riverside though, you talking about the Tyler one?

ringing up for 79.99 at Riverside, CA
was just in the Riverside store yesterday the shelf is saying $44, it's an open box though so possibly would be less? I was tempted to get it, but seeing $19 from the OP make me SICK! for 45 this is a killer deal, if I saw them for $20? I'd buy a dozen if they had that many in stock.

Perhaps I will have to try the one I have (it's still sitting in its box). I really like my Logitech Wirelss keyboard for everyday use (don't need the 'wireless' part). I use my N52 for gaming, so I really don't think I will be giving that up and start putting my left hand back on a keyboard with in a FPS.Originally posted by: QueBert

build quality is outstanding, keys are flat and have the perfect amount of tactial feedback, has onboard memory so you can save profiles to it and take the KB with you and keep them intact. I am a KB junkie, I own like hummm 4 or 5 high end boards and the Razer easily takes the cake as my favorite. I own one and would buy another in a heartbeat, I know mine won't last forever and in 4 years when it dies finding a replacement won't be easy. I don't think anyone will outdue this board by than so I want a backup.
You have to use it to understand how good it is.

Umm... that MS ergonomic keyboard and a Tarantula seem to be in completely different leagues when it comes to high end gaming keyboards and features in general.

erm, keyboards unlike mice aren't going to increase your kill to death ratio theres no high resolution sensors involved its a keyboard
features of "gaming" keyboards tend to be gimmicks.
since he apparently couldn't get one in his area i was just suggesting an alternative which i think is far superior. you spend most of your time on a pc interacting through the kb, it might as well be a decent one. the razors features are of questionable worth.
not having a sore wrist probably helps any gamer more.
ms ergonomic with mouse $35

just the kb

If its a razer product then its gonna be buggy. I had one of these keyboards last year and the keys had a mind of their own. I hit "t" and got "ttt". BUT for $18 Id be all over it even though I prefer the Lycosa for its slim LIGHT design. The tarantula is a beast and the "wrist rest" is hard and awkward thanks to its height.

Not a bug you have to turn down the key speed in your control panel. At default it's too sensitive for most people, but I guess that's good if you can type 150wpm or play a FPS where you need every millisecond advantage.
GF got the white model off Woot a few weeks ago, she commented in LOTR how when you pressed the key to do something it did it 3 times. once I got use to how responsive the keys were I love this board.
