How to design computer peripherals:

Give it a titanic name
Throw in extra zeroes in the name
Gun-metal grey
Throw in buzzwords like "sleek and stealth aesthetics"
Give it lots of flashing light options
Fancy mechanical switch wordplay
Extensive macroing ability which can potentially get you banned in online games

Bam, $200.

Asus took it one step further with adding a carrying case. Lol.

Double post.

For some reason my delete password which is saved to form is different than the password I use to log in to my account?

Pretty sure only Blue can delete posts.

GamerGear bahaha. I hope it has multicolored LEDs and perhaps even a speaker because why not?

Well the problem is there are only so many "features" you can tack onto a keyboard, and keyboard design hasn't evolved/changed one iota over decades (remember that scroll lock?). The keyboard and mice market is supersaturated with countless OEMs; it's remarkably difficult to differentiate oneself.

The one thing I'm seeing in this keyboard that stands out (pun intended) is the raised switch mechanism. I know most of us have all manner of cheezy poof residue and enough hair to replace Donald Trump's toupe residing under our keys.

I'm happy with my Brown MX Cherry keyed blue backlit Duckyshine Zero.

I thought you were continuing to riff with the joke, specially with a name like Ducky Shine, but google search says real product...

Blue, because bluesnews?
The max setting is crazy bright, I have had neighbors knock on my door and tell me to turn it down!

I'd love a keyboard done in the style of the Microsoft Ergonomic 4000 keyboard done with backlit keys. Some of us have very large hands and a straight keyboard is murder on the wrists.

The original ms natural keyboard elite, will always be the best to me! Too bad they stopped making it, years ago.
