Any gamer playing with this keyboard? 1st, 3rd Person Shooters, etc...

I purchased this as a business keyboard, but I'm a gamer as well. It's great for business tasks, but honestly i think it would be a little awkward for gaming. It also doesn't have the quality and responsiveness you would want out of a gaming setup.

Games felt weird at first while I was getting used to the switch from traditional keyboards to ergonomic. It just takes about a week to get used to, but I like it more than a traditional keyboard now. Much less hand cramping/shaking out with this style, especially if you're on the computer a lot (for any reason).

If any gamer uses this board, then ANY keyboard is game. I don't think this keyboard meets the demands of a gamer.

so far ive been able to keybind them to whatever i want in games, most games i play are like guild wars 2, blacklight retribution and rts titles like starcraft. all of which had no problems of remapping the side buttons

This keyboard is not wireless. I don't use wireless keyboards or mice for gaming so I can't respond to the second question.

Yes, for the most part. W,A,S,D and later in the game, Q, F, and G are added (as you get more abilities). I had no problem playing with a mouse and these keys.

I haven't had an ounce of trouble with the eMachine, I play games all the time. My only problem is the letters wear off the keys.

you can hot-key the 2 thumb buttons easily, but the "double-click" button next to the LMB is detected as the LMB in all of the games I have used it with (Planetside 2, Crysis 3, etc.)

I use it for BF2 and no problems, though I don't use the wheel for anything, I do use the other buttons. I still prefer my old MX518 though.

this keyboard sucks for gaming... seriously! I don't know what its is good for hit the cat with?? It does not remember the state it was last in so every reboot required reactivating the lights. The key to illuminate was print screen / scroll lock which screwed up some other applications that i used when i was turning it on or off. I bought a Logitech illuminated K740. The illumination works great and it remembers the state of the lighting. It also is flat and the keys are easy to see / use. I play BF4 so this works great although i use a Logitech g13 with that also. But games like Far cry 3 work great. good luck this keyboard sucks for gaming... seriously!

I tried to use an Xbox controller but it was really weird (for example, clicking in the stick will pause the game). But I've only tried Assassin's creed one I don't know if its better on assassin's creed two but in my opinion its much easier and better using keyboard and mouse.

There were no instructions for reprogramming the keys, so I'm assuming they are not. If you are considering this for gaming applications, I would steer you towards a real gamer's keyboard. As a multimedia keyboard, it's pretty awesome. I hope this helps.

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. :)

I have found this keyboard to be very good. Especially since I game with it. It's still holding on strong for all the gaming i use it for.

I've been using it for gaming but I wouldn't recommended it, the right enter key fell off after the first month, overall the keyboard is nice but not for excessive button smashing

W7 will bark about that, I opted to ignore the driver and simply plug it in as a USB keyboard, it registers as a gaming keyboard. Caveat: I bought it to have a mechanical keyboard and use it for coding and writing rather than gaming.

Yes, I had the same issue, as well as some keys not working at all. I think this is a lousy keyboard despite all the great reviews. As writer for more years to remember, I know a crappy keyboard when I use one.

Mine was like this right out of the box. At first I thought it was just me, with gaming, my fingers don't hit the keys directly on dead-center. But even typing, it's really bad. I've only had this keyboard -maybe- a month, actually USING it for about a week. I'm about to pull my old keyboard out to use... you know, the one I bought this one to replace it with. I think this keyboard would only be useful to someone who can't see AND can't type well at all.
