Excellent board, not exactly simple though. All I wanted was a decent backlit board, but there's simply not too many of those around.

Macro keys are easy to use and program. Handy to hold an e-mail address or password, if you feel comfortable programming a password into it.

Cons... I guess be carefull not to scrape anything on it: the paint can chip off, but that hasn't happened here yet and I've been using and moving it about a fair bit. And it lacks some of the hotkeys you find on simpler boards, to open a browser or media player for example. (does have prev/next, pause and stop for WindowsMP + volume control and mute button)

Bit overpriced considering you'll likely only use half of it (features that is, not keys ). Stuff like the build-in soundcard and ports for a headset, and I don't even use half of the macro keys. USB port goes unused as well; thing to note: it's low powered. Can run something like a mouse of it, but don't go plugging in a USB harddrive or something.

Its a good board for gaming. The reason being is pressing two keys at the same time will allow certain movement of your character or vehicle. Basically, stick with gaming mouse and keyboard.

I thought I should mention the GPU that I'll be using with this monitor is the GTX580 x 2.

Been looking at 1200 vs 1080, can anyone tell me if a higher pixel count of the 1200 will be an issue with the 580 graphics card? I want to be able to max out settings with my games & if the 1200 pixel monitor hinders that I'll go with the 1080.

Here are some of the monitors Im looking at

DellTM UltraSharpTM U2311H 23”W Monitor

Are you kidding? SLI gives better returns on higher resolutions.

* might wanna read up on the pros and cons before you get into it.
