Saitek Cyborg Gaming Keyboard

Well over the weekend I was searching around for a new keyboard because I am afraid that my current keyboard might just decide to croak it rather soon. After all its survived roughly 5 years of my physical abuse. So I was browsing around and came across a beast of a keyboard called the Cyborg Keyboard.
Now it could be that this keyboard is nothing more than a load of rubbish and has too many unnecessary functions but for the uber elite among us this keyboard should be very tempting. It even has for the hardcore gamer, metal-plated key caps metal-plated key caps.
Also it has 12 programmable "cyborg" keys which would be extremely handy just for net surfing or for gaming as well. You can even change the back lighting colours, while this is really not amazing or needed it is none the less cool. Its even got a usb and audio jack.
So needless to say I was pretty impressed about this keyboard just because it looks like something out of Stargate or Starwars, but yet I'm not 100% sure I'd use most of the functions of this keyboard. Apparently some reviewers have had a hard time with the software that comes with the board. Also after all these years of having a corded keyboard it would be kind of nice to have a wireless keyboard which this board is not.

Check it out.
