Still though a nice board... kinda wishing I got it maybe xD My Zowei has Red Black lit Num Cap SCR in the top right... which doesn't match all the BLUE led's I own lol

 

but USB 3.0 is pretty fast [not faster than Ps2 <3] but still good board and Good price, plus I'm sure you can use that Board with a Razer Naaga mouse for a nice set up! 

They're nice boards, but I've heard they have high failure rates. My friend is on his 3rd Ultimate, but my other friend hasn't had any problems with his standard BlackWidow.

xD I'm trying to be nice but yea... Razer doesn't strike me as high quality boards <3 I'm sure like many things they run on a lot of hype ^^

I think razer also sells a higher volume of boards so there are more people complaining about how failure than the niche brands... that being said I do believe the niche brands build a better keyboard.

My roommate, though, has put together a custom micro controller type board that connects the keyboard to his PC and gives it N-key rollover capability. I haven't tried it out myself, but I think he could make good money off it as a side job for the keyboard geeks!

Is the controller board in question meant for IBM Model Fs?

I've read a bit about how the Geekhack community developed such a controller board for Model F 122-key boards, providing full NKRO over USB if I'm not mistaken. If it delivers, then the Model F 122-key is definitely my end-game board, since nothing does it for me like buckling springs.

In the meantime, I've got my Model M2 in primary use, with a Model M 1391401 as backup...

Cm Storm mechanical keyboard with blue switches and rubber o-rings underneath to dampen the noise. Feels good 

I had a water spill on my laptop just yesterday, I had to switch out to a generic Dell keyboard :( 

I do use a Razer Blackwidow on my desktop though, I love Cherry MX Blue, Red just doesn't feel the same to me.
