    What is the best deal anyone has found on the Alienware TactX Keyboard? The people who have bought one, what do you think of it? Thank you

    It does good for me. I paid full price for it. The only annoying thing is that it takes two usb slots. One to make the keyboard work and the other for lights only..
    Other than that, it has a good feel and key presses are solid and all.
    The selling fact was that I could match the colors to my alienware M17x

    It is just a rebranded logitech, just like the tactx mouse.

    So, if you like logitech keyboards like I do, you should really like the tactx keyboard.

    One is to power the lights and the other is to work the keyboard. You can use with just one but the lights will not work on it.
