Re: Thermaltake Poseidon #3
Yep and it is too expensive. Why are there almost no keyboards with displays? AsRock Z68 Extreme 7 / Intel Core i5 2500K @ 4.3 GHz / Corsair H80 / 16 GB Corsair Vengeance DDR3 2133 MHz / GTX 770 / OCZ RevoDrive 3 240GB / Samsung PM 840 Evo 256GB / Cooler Master Silent Pro M2 850W

Re: Thermaltake Poseidon #4
I find it somehow odd these day with peripherals manufacturers. They take a standard shaped keyboard, put some mechanical switches in it, give a back light and voila ==> Gaming keyboard is ready. In this case they're also hiding some steel or lead somewhere.

This thing doesn't even have a unique design. I guess the USP with this thing is that it's heavy. Imo the is a bit ridiculous.

Asking myself the same question.

BTW: Razer has only one keyboard with a display, the DeathStalker Ultimate, but the Keys are crap, just like apple keyboards and the num block is missing.
