Hey, guess what, I don't need a keyboard with tacky light up keys, hundreds of thousands of extra buttons, USB ports and LCD screens, the standard set of keys works fine!

Light up keys: Useless since I always turn my light on anyway, otherwise I get a headache and eye strain from looking at the monitor in the dark.

'Special buttons': Pointless. My email client opens anyway when I login, and a quick Windows key + E opens My Computer. I can't think what else I might want to do so quickly that I need a special key for it. Exception being volume up / down / mute keys, which do indeed have a use.

USB ports: Guess what, my PC has 10 USB sockets, 6 at the back on the motherboard and 4 on the front. Why the fuck would I want more than this? Heck, I don't even use half of them as it is.

LCD screens: Quite simply the most absurd idea I have ever heard. Why would I look down at my keyboard to see how much ammo or whatever I have when it's on the screen anyway? While I was busy trying to locate the information I want on this tiny little LCD screen someone is going to come along and kill me ingame.

In conclusion, I think that people who spend £80 or so on a keyboard with all sorts of fancy pancy gadgets and crap are plain stupid. My £15 LogiTech keyboard is 7yrs old now and still works perfectly, even after years of heavy use for programming. Not a single key has faded at all, and the only special buttons it has are volume control.

And yes, I know this is sort of off topic, but I am kind of bored and felt like having a rant Razz

EDIT: Fixed a few typos and some questionable grammar.
