Tango: Built in LCD eh? I wonder what the point is. Who wants to look at their keyboard to check their health / ammo etc? Surely the HUD would be easier and closer to the action? What it might be useful for, on the other hand, would be framerate, or network connection info for games like BF2, or round timers etc. Stuff that you don't need to see all that often, but it's nice to have. Looks like you'll be able to get the display to show you whatever you want. I'd like to see the temp on my vid card for starters so I can see why it keeps crapping out on me when I play BF2. That and the temp of my CPU, CPU and Memory Usage, would all be very useful for me as I'm playing a true hog of a game. You can already do this with some LCD kits, I wonder how much of a performance hit your system will take as you're running this stuff? The rest of that keyboard sounds amazing, and I've been waiting a while for a cordless mouse that will let me do the same stuff as my Logitech MX 518. 180$ American for the set is pretty DAMN expensive, I'll most likely be picking up that mouse though. Edit: Keyboard looks ridiculous. They didn't even give a thought to ergonomics for it. http://www.engadget.com/entry/1234000043054056/ This comment was edited on Aug 11, 16:03.
