[Keyboard] Saitek Cyborg V.5

The Good:

This keyboard comes with some really neat features that you would only find on an expensive Logitech G19 keyboard. This includes 12 programmable macro keys that the keyboard will remember for that specific game, and will do so with every game you play. Another kickass feature of this keyboard is the touch sensitive control panel it has at the top which allows you to change your backlight to multiple different colors ranging from red, to amber, and to green (and in between) Like my rhyme? Yeah, I thought so. It has different areas you can change to color of, so, let's say you want your main QWERTY setup to be red, you can do that and have your number pad set to green and your arrow keys set to an amber color. You can also change the color of the programmable buttons to one color. Yet, another good feature of this board is the "Cyborg mode" this mode allows you to turn off the windows button so you don't accidently press it. Although, while in cyborg mode your whole keyboard can only be one color, but when you turn cyborg mode back on your main color scheme that you set earlier will return. Also, the keyboard comes with a separate USB hub in the back so you can plug your mouse into your keyboard, which I though was really awesome. It has an adjustable wrist rest, headphone and microphone jack in the back. And its connectors are gold plated so you get the highest speed possible. Finally, Metal plated keys for extended use. These are only covering the space bar, WASD and the arrow keys. This is so those keys will last longer than the other ones.

The Bad:

There are only a few bad things I've found about this Keyboard and that is the SST program it comes with. It's very difficult to use and doesn't come with any instructions on how to use it. I still haven't found out how to do this, and I've had it for two years. Another bad thing about this keyboard is that when not in cyborg mode it doesn't retain your unique color set, and can only be changed to one color. If you have both of your keyboards USB cables plugged in it uses two slots which if you're on a laptop this can be quite bad if you use a lot of your USB ports.

The Rank:

Overall this is a great keyboard I would definitely recommend this gaming gadget to all of my nerdy friends, Yes Adam, I mean you. I would rate this as an 8/10. The reason I took off two points, is for one the SST program, and secondly it's cyborg mode color scheme.
