5 out of 5 stars Awesome new innovation!!!   June 10, 2008
I was skeptical, at first about this product. I purchased it as a bundle with the Age of Conan keyset (which included a $20 rebate so I got that keyset for free). I did this as a pre-order and the z-board came about a week before the AOC keyset. I had been playing Call of Duty 4 so this was the first game I tried with the z-board and the "gaming" keyset. Whoa, very awesome. It was a new dimention in my gaming experience. Not only was the keyboard easy to install but it had so many features that I was overwealmed. The keyset itself could be programmed easily for COD4 with a simple mouseclick. All the special keys were mapped and in very finger friendly places. The keyset itself was ergonomically designed for ease with larger movement keys and rounded keys for ease of use. You can even program your own hotkeys and multiple key commands! This product is awesome! The regular keyset is smooth and very responsive. I'm typing this review on it now. There are specialty keys at the top as clear buttons that give you easy one touch access for getting to the z-board website, opening up a web window, the calculator, lists, mail, and all sorts of others. As an added bonus the base itself has 2 USB ports in it so you can quickly add a mouse, flash drive or other USB item. The z-board is very sturdy and well made. Lots of thought has gone into this product and there are many keysets add ons out there to purchase. The very nice thing is that each keyset has it's own memory to remember your programmed keys and pre-programmed keys. Just drop in your keyset and go. I love this product and give it the highest rating. Easy to use, updates on the web, easy to install, smooth key operation, and soooo many special features they are too numerous to name. Check out the z-board website for product info. Just remember that there are two versions a standard keyboard plug (you know, the round one) and a USB one. GET THE USB one. I have heard horror stories about the regular keyboard one. I have had zero problems with installation, use, or with any of the keysets. If you want THE BEST (in my opinion) gaming keyboard and most adaptable keyboard (I say this generally because they have a Photoshop and other "work-type" keysets available too!) this is the one for you.


5 out of 5 stars nice hardware   June 3, 2008
works as advertised and is solid product...you may need to download the drivers from website if you are using Windows Vista but it works great and extra boards hook up easy


4 out of 5 stars great keyboard   May 29, 2008
The z-board is an awesome product which makes playing the games we play easier. The only problem I have is that since I installed the keyboard my headset/microphone is not working properly with ventrillo. I think there is a driverr conflict.


5 out of 5 stars AWSOME!!!   May 22, 2008
well i will tell you i am 40 yrs of age, i bought this keyboard to use for my RPG,s. WHAT A Find, i dont know if it is the windows vista that i am using but i got this keyboard hooked up for gaming and the other one is still hooked up on the small table underneath. this thing does not crap out on me. the keys work very good in my oppinion. i like it better then my other keyboard, i just leave my other one hooked up so i dont have to change my Ageofconan keyset all the time for the game is awsome. needs lots of power to run this game . oh i have had this keyboard for 3 weeks know and still runs great, i dont have to do anything it works everytime...


4 out of 5 stars A little getting used to   May 14, 2008
the keys are a little closer together than my old Logitech Keyboard. So it took a little getting used to. Lots of preprogrammed games for the gaming keyboard module. Easy to swap keyboards. Easy to program it yourself.

I don't recommend the Gaming configuration for everyday use.

Only issue is my left shift key is either improperly installed or has a bad spring in it (On the regular keyboard.)

An update to this keyboard would be nice as the Tabula Rasa Keyset I also purchased for this has a better feel for regular typing. The keys on the TR version are a hair bigger and have better action.
