Blue is 50g, blacks are 60g
So is a typo on your part or GeIL
The potential new flaw is the keyboard angle relative to the wrist rest. I have a hunch that the design lessens the amount of blood flow to the fingers more than any other keyboard, and we FPS gamers need plenty of blood flow to the fingers when not engaging in the other extra curricular activity.
Perhaps some people drink/eat too much crappy food and sweat acid :)
Only thing this has going for it imo is the 2 year warranty lol.
I also chucked my steelseries Merc Stealth not so long ago. It had worn off glyphs. The only gaming keyboard I kept is an MS sidewinder x4 with worn off glyphs. Don't know why. I will put that in the wheelie bin, too. Would you like to see photos before it makes a departure?
I've never had a Logitech keyboard. One of those might be the way to go.
As to the comfort level, the keys are no difference in size to those on most of my other keyboards. I did install O rings under the caps to soften them a bit, but I do that to all my Cherry based keyboards.
Whatever though, at least you've moved onto something you might be more happy with.
