I'm having a hard time figuring that out myself whether it's a gaming keyboard or not Posted Image I guess you'll find out once the review is done Posted Image

Edit: I liked the fact that it's low profile, but that doesn't really give me a good reason for not having it to hurt my wrists. I don't really like resting my wrists on the table all that much.

It's a very basic keyboard, so if you want some inspiration on how to do it, look at my MX5500, G19, and MX3200 reviews. Fundamentally just talk about its looks, and how it types, etc.

Looks like a solid down to earth keyboard for me - at least the review is finally in progress. Looking forward to it Preston.

Focus on the typing quality and any lsyout deviations. I can bring over my Thinkpad one of these days to give you some reference.
