"nothing for a keyboard?" Are you serious? Most people feel bad paying half of that. Case in point, my last keyboard made me feel like an overindulgent pig:

Been well worth the money, and I'll probably never buy a regular keyboard with standard style keys again (basically the keys are laptop style scissor-switches but with a full sized layout with a numpad).

I say if you want to buy that overpriced monstrosity, go for it. You're the one that will be using it. And if the price is "nothing for a keyboard," then why even ask peoples' opinions on it? If it goes bad, you paid "nothing" for it, so what's the deal...

The best keyboard for Fedora (and in general) is this one. It is simply keyboard perfection. All others just pale in comparison.

Eddy, I'm not the best one to ask. I paid $3.00 for my last keyboard. But the one you've chosen does look real nice.

EDIT: Looks like this will take a lot of abuse.

well thanks but one question well the keyboard you have is it standered one or is it a gaiming one ??

My last keyboard I got in the UK was £5. Dunno what that is in $$$. I'm all grown up so don't play games

No the top part was just messing with Dan, I know you haven't gotten it yet - only the link was for you.

It's a cool looking keyboard but since it apparently doesn't play nice with Mac I'm not so sure you should get it, at the very least you should wait and see if someone has used it with Linux and how it works. Most of the time keyboards work just fine with Linux, except for some of the special keys so just be prepared for that. Sometimes you can even get the special keys to work but it may require that you jump through hoops.

Yup, well here's your answer

I have this keyboard running with a USB KVM switch connected to a Windows
Vista and FC5 computers. Works great, nice feel, and the lighting really
helps in the dark. I didn't know that you can control the illumination
in software, and wouldn't want to add more always on utilities in Windows
to do so anyway. The illumination can be manually changed with a rocker
switch in the upper right corner of the keyboard. It's labeled with a half
white half black circle, to the right of the mute icon. You can also use
the light bulb knob located in the same vicinity to control the illumination
intensity.

So if you like it, go for it.

Jeeze! I just checked Tiger Direct. *Cough! Choke!* Looks like it!

But ...

This looks promising!
