steelseries PW1USE1-B3ZBD01

still works great purchased it in 2005 ; cleans up good can even wash keys

sometimes keys stick after changing overlay ; i just have to reseat overlay again works flawlessly

The Price

Sometimes it doesn't like to be switched between the regular and the gaming keyboards. Tends to stick and some keys don't work until I bang on it...not good.... but you get what you pay for I guess

The Pictures make it look a lot better than it actually is ; It was Cheap after the mail in rebate ; the ability to change 2 different types of key sets Gamer/Standard. Its a unique concept

Quality is awful. Cheap plastic. It started falling apart in about 2-3 months. You have to be Very careful switching the keysets. as, it so flimsy, one little mistake will cause clips to break off. several keys on the (standard) set stopped working....

Probably the worst keyboard I've ever used, wouldn't buy. Most of my keys are not working, using character map atm

Cheap ; 2 USB Ports ; Panels switch easily ; Labels below function buttons say what they normally do in programs. Good for beginners ; Very easy to clean. Remove overlay, blow or vaccumm, blow out the overlay, and done

Wrist insert pegs are brittle and easily broken. Broke 1 of my old one, but was my fault, and not worth knocking an egg off

the butterfly layout keys

without any sort of mistreatment, the key mapping went nuts after about four months

easy to clean, fast response, price

none

Bought this to replace a 7 year old Merc because it has the similar gaming key layout. For $20 , it was a steal. the functions i need worked just fine with the generic driver in win7 64 bit. The keys feel more sturdy then my old merc

not really a con, but there are differences compared to the merc (spacing/button layout), so does take getting used to. The split spacebar is annoying

Keyboard kinda works as they say

The software to use all of the features isn't working on my windows 7 system. I have emailed support to see what they say. But well without that it's just a standard keyboard and not a gaming one
