    I've had this keyboard for a bit over a year now. It's very nice but the aluminum wrist rest of this keyboard is very cold to the touch (especially touch a sensitive area of the wrist). It does warm up after a while but it's a downside of the design.

    i agree with the arm rest, I have the same keyboard and it's quite uncomfortable (especially during the winter time) to rest your hands cold hard metal. it's not as comfortable for prolong use as my MX3200 (which has a rubberized armrest) but overall it's a very nice keyboard with cool orange lights!

    I like the look of it!

    Oh, and the price changed from $117.00 to $117.95................ :rolleyes:

    I can also confirm this keyboard works with Linux (Ubuntu 8) right out the box. Volume and mouse track pad just work. There is a weird issue of the keyboard not accepting keyboard input for the first 10 seconds of use from a cold boot in Linux. Never been able to figure out why. But after that it's rock sold.
