So for a long time I have a Logitec G15 gaming keyboard. Not the new one that you but the old one with the old liquid crystal display. I used the crap out of that thing, I had worn the paint off of most of the keys.

So a few weeks ago I was standing in Best Buy looking to replace the war horse that has  enabled me to play for years. I looked at the replacement of the G15, but man was that more money than I can spend right now. So I picked up the Cyborg Gaming Keyboard from Saitek. I have played with Saitek/Mad Catz's gear in the past and my impression was always that while the items they made looked a little clunky they were always very very high quality. (and I do own a few other products they made and have been happy)

I was a fool! As you can see in the image below, the yellow boxes are keys that do not work well at all. the Y is the bane of my life, I have to mash these highlighted buttons with a force that makes basic typing a nightmare.

So I reached out to the company using the same support that a non-gaming site would use to get a new keyboard, man did my disapointment go from "kind of" to "very" .

They would be more than happy to have a look at my keyboard, but... I have to pay to have it shipped, and, "Once it has arrived and a tech is available to work on it, we will proceed to fix or replace it." That makes it sound like it may be Q3 of 2010 before I will see this thing again.

Also, in order to do that, I would also have to GO BUY A NEW KEYBOARD, because this is the only one I have.

I am just going to haul it back to Best Buy for a store credit and pick up another keyboard. Those Microsoft keyboard is looking more and more appealing. 

Good-bye Cyborg Keyboard, I was hoping that you and I would be together for years, but alas my language is English, and the letters involved are used on a fairly regular basis, I cannot be your friend... Y, because you can not type Y - R - D - B - 3 and 4.
