Full review

Most important fact not discussed in the owner's manual: it can handle 6 keys pressed simultaneously. You BTC-5339 owners, this is the keyboard to go.

I own this keyboard for more than a year. Spilled soda pop on it, dropped heavy object on it, and it still works all right.

It is somewhat larger than normal keyboards, because it accomodates loads of extra macro/multimedia keys, LCD display, USB hub. Ships with detachable wrist support, very comfortable.

LCD Display
Windows support:
By default you can have several modules: stopwatch, clock, system load monitor etc. Game support is very limited as I found out.
Linux Support:
There is a module that provides basic scripting interface, you can have your own scripts displaying whatever you want.

Embedded USB hub: be sure to plug the keyboard into USB2.0, otherwise it will not be able to power even an usb flash drive.

Backlit keys: you can have it off/dim/bright. There is little difference between dim and bright setting, but it is not a problem, the illumination is just right.

All in all, its a great keyboard. Quite expensive for a wired keyboard, but compared to wireless, its still a bargain.
