How is it with gaming, any noticeable latency or input lag?

Not so much a review, more of a sales pitch. But thanks anyway.

I've been eying the Mac version. It's definitely one of the nicest designed keyboards out there. Am I the only one who thinks the prices on these things are completely out of proportion though? ?100 for a keyboard! It's not just Logitech, Microsoft and Apple are equally as guilty.

For me personally it just doesn't offer enough over the Apple Wireless Keyboard that will ship by default with my new iMac. Although granted, I'm a sucker for the black backlit keys.

I just bought this but not sure what dongle to buy. Would ASUS USB-BT211 be any good, I guess it doesn't work on boot though?

Just noticed this keyboard won't work on boot even with my new laptop that has built in atheros bluetooth.

[Wakers]

Ugh, looks horrible. I hate those type of keys and there's no number pad either.

I'd throw that out after a week with the amount of typing I do.

If you do a lot of typing, there really is no alternative to a mechanical keyboard. Spending ?100 on something with domed key switches is madness.

I bought this for my living room HTPC, I wanted something that looks nice so i can just leave it on the table. Definitely wouldn't buy this for a work computer.
