The touch pad for the functions are cool, I give it that...
Other than that...erm...a keyboard? With rubber-tipped keys and backlight functon? I really don't understand what they are thinking when they left the 'secondary lighting mode' to be wasd only...
Which games nowadays only use those 4 keys alone? o_0 The rest of the keys' markings are almost impossible to see without the backlighting on, making things WORSE. They should had included the cluster of standard keys around the WASD 4-keys(something like QERT FG ZXCV, L-Shift, L-Ctrl, 12345, F1~F4 and Tab)... Only then would the secondary lighting mode be remotely functional...And I believe a 80USD product should have included that in the first place.
The only salvation for this keyboard is that every single key on the board are programmable, and profiles can be switched relatively easily...
And a 'pulsing backlight'(like the Razer icon on the Lachesis) would be cool too, when I am in the 'blink' mood... >D<
At the moment I would rate it worthy of at most 80SGD. All it has going for it is the not-very-blinky blink and fully programmable keys. If you don't care about the color of the LED, the Rev2 G15 may be a better choice, or if you DO care about the color, the original G15 or the Saitek Eclipse II may be better choices.
Razer flunked, IMHO, on the current Lycosa.
