Is there really a difference between a gaming keyboard and a regular keyboard?

Very much so, these things can be everything from being decked out with keys of certain sizes and pressure limits on those keys to trigger action. Sometimes it's just little stuff, like back-lighting, or custom-binding keys. Could be any, or all, or even something unmentioned, but yes there is a difference between gaming keyboards and standard stock keyboards.

Not much. I think there might be a slight difference with how easily the keys are depressed and the surface texture of the keys. The other junky keyboard I have has keys that can stick and this has never happened to me with this keyboard

They're more in between. Definitely more substantial than laptop keys as they're also a little thicker, but much shorter than a mechanical keyboard. Try them for yourself :)

No, it isn't. FYI, the feel of typing is similar to a lot of keyboards I've used.

I switched to a Logitech K811 keyboard. The keys have a slight indentation and the keyboard letters are illuminated. Well worth the difference in cost.

Yes. The space bar, backspace, enter, any key that isn't the size of a letter key will sound different because they use a leveling bar. Still a MX blue underneath, but the leveling bar make a different sound

well for starters, there isnt much difference between the two. except one has clips on them to apply to tablet, making it easier to adjust the keyboard as you see fit. the other sits flat on the surface you put it on.

I'm a gamer, which means I'm all over my keyboard, and I've never hit them once. They're a lot lower-profile than the rest of the keys, so you'd have to be trying to push them. Plus they take more of a solid push to even click than the rest of the keys. I wouldn't worry about it. :)

Just buy a Deck Legend. It's a bit more pricey but you get an absolutely insanely good keyboard and as the box says, "the last keyboard you'll ever own". After owning it for a few months now I could not agree with that boast more.

Pretty sure you can use both, but I'd save some time and just NOT buy the keyboard. It's awful.

I think the only difference is the labeling of the keys. I use a Windows keyboard for my Windows 7 computer so never tried to switch them.

Yes it is. Son claims the keyboard and his headset make his gaming experience worth the extra cost.

Keys are "standard". They do "click" softly, but you do feel the "click" more than you hear it (similar to most laptop key boards).

I have used the keyboard for gaming... I found no issues, but I have not tried it extensively. It is obviously not a high-end gaming keyboard, but it should work fine for some light gaming. There is no backlight in this keyboard.

There are no additional keys (orange or black) in the box. Also, the enter/return key is not as long side-to-side as the typical keyboard and has caused a number of typing errors for me.

Well it has alienware logos on both. But they don't light up or do anything special. Keyboard has short cut buttons, above the f1 f2 keys for calculator computer email and internet.

To nagappa...I'd like to ask if the layout of the keys of a Bilingual keyboard any different from the American standard keyboard? Basically, what I'm really trying to say is--do they have the exact layout? Please, let me know. Thank you.

Yes. It's ok for gaming, although the dense layout makes it easy to hit the wrong keys. I usually don't have much trouble though.
