Well, I finally got my new keyboard in the mail :D. I'll be honest, and tell you guys that this thing takes a lot of getting used to: the keys are spread apart (as opposed to other keyboards where the keys are closer together), and the hotkeys, while brilliant, took me a lot of trial and error to figure out (I think it's cool that you can turn off the Tron lights, because those things are freaking bright!) and there's actually a way I can turn off my desktop at the press of a button (something I figured out by accident :lol:.). Anyway, took me hours of typos to finally get the hang of this baby. Now, my fingers are (almost) graciously flying across keys and making sense, and gaming is...well, it's a Razer brand. I think they put more effort into gaming performance than personal use :P.
The thing that's akward is the num pad..it's a separate add-on, and as of now, something I can really do without...what can I say, it's bulky, and takes up room on my mouse pad, so it's very uncomfortable to have. Granted, I rarely ever used that thing on my computer anyway (and the only thing I know of that actually makes use of the Number key is DC Universe Online...and that's just for auto-glide :lol:.). All in all, I'd say it's more flash than substance. If you're the type who needs to look at the keys he's typing, then I pity you (think of the letters used in an Alienware...that's what the keys look like :?) but as a Tron fan, it was worth the wait....I can confidently say that I proudly own a keyboard that no one else on this island does (you know, becaus I've yet to see Best Buy offer one for sale...and Best Buy's the only place for your computer parts here) 8). Anyway, I know I promised a picture of my setup, but I'm not quite satisfied with it...you know those spike strips that people put on their motorcycle helmets? Yeah...I figured that'd look pretty killer on my desktop as well, so I'm holding out for that :P. Rest assued, you will all see my dojo in the next week (and how much of a mess my room is :lol:.).
On another note, finally picked up Mortal Kombat for the PS3...and boy is that whole "PSN down" thing killing me right now. I got a pretty cool pre-order bonus which is all but useless to me at the moment :|. Other than that, the game is just as brutal (if not more) as every other MK in the series. I'm a little disappointed in the roster (seriously...no Frost? :|) but other than that, I need some time alone in this game anyway...been a while since I popped in a fighting game, and you know you're on your computer too much when you pop in a PS3 game, hop on the keyboard, and wonder why there's no response :lol:. Also doesn't help I have it hooked up to my monitor as well :P (well...mostly because my monitor has a better resolution than my old TV). Anyway, great game...might be even better once I pick a character I'm good at and can really kick ass in the game :P.
