Yep.. I have it. Used it for about 30 seconds and then put it away. I like my keyboard better! heh

Used to, back when I was big into Halo PC. The keys were pretty stiff, and never really loosened up with age, so it wasnt ideally suited for faster-paced games like UT2k4. It was capable of taking a hell of a beating, though, and was comfortable to use and didnt move around once I had it mounted on my desk.

clearly i played tooooo much ... my keys are plenty loose now... of course that is VERY typical of belkin.

SHOUT OUT: to my few IBM Active Response keyboards that still work. smooth like silk!

I use it all the time. My fingers get lost on a regular keyboard.

Excellent for Photoshop, SimCity 4, and others.

Couldn't use it, I use my thumb for forward and I coulnd't find a comfortable button for that on the N52. Plus the keys are way stiffer than the keys on my laptop keyboard, so oh well.
