I like this idea.

It's the SteelSeries Merc and costs $40. OK, no mini LCD but do you really need that?

that keyboard looks godawful to use

backlit keys, macro programmability, special WASD pad with gaming keys near, media buttons and profiles which you can store for different occasions.

i really don't know why people drop so much on keyboards. mice i can kind of understand because of the precision better ones can offer. but keyboards not so much.

check that out

£15! D:

And it's called the "Cheetah" lol

You all know I'm not a mega gamer, really I want a decent keyboard with customizable hotkeys that'll look good with my Razer Deathadder... buuuuuuut a certain SOMEONE keeps saying you may as well buy the best v.v

Hai, because the functionality exceeds gaming purposes by far^^

if it was cheaper, trust me I wouldn't hesitate. But it's just way too expensive for what it is, IMO.

Note that 'best' right now is a short term descriptive word. Best fps last year was mw2 and sequel and plenty of as good alternatives is already in the pipe.
Even if you don't like the new ones, the old ones will be cheaper then. So for all iknow, buy the one closest to your need. Don't really need excessive functions

The shape reminds me of a sega genesis controller.

Just use the mouse / keyboard you already have.

Being good at gaming is a ton of practice mixed with a bit of strategizing (or a lot, depending on the game). Or if you're the MMO type of gamer... just a lot of time spent grinding.

Anyone who thinks being good at gaming = expensive keyboard and mouse, obviously sucks at gaming.

I don't even consider the G19 a GamerKeyboard for myself nor do I use any of it's features ingame, it's just great looking and the display has millions of uses along with the G-Keys^^

don't have any - I have a laptop. hence why I'm looking around.

i reckon that cheap donkey one i showed you would be fine

you can even find microsoft ones which use laptop-style keys which are a dream to use.
