Zboard and Wrath of the Lich King

orchidsrpretty

I'm trying to get one of the above keyboards(for my bfs bday!) but I can't find one! The only websites I can find that sell these, wont deliver to Ireland(Play and Amazon).

Any ideas? Could I order one from the states or would it work? Or if anyone knows of any shops that sell these, doesn't have to be the lich king one, please let me know:o I'm getting a bit worried!

I'm curious what someone would do with a monstrosity such as that... bloody ugly thing and cant imagine how much more useful it can be compared to a normal keyboard.

Personally, I'd prefer a G15 over that any day...

Sadly though, I cant offer any kind of help with tracking them down.

I just check a few more sites in the uk that do deliver to ireland (yoyotech.co.uk scan.co.uk overclockers.co.uk) yoyotech and scan have the zboards, but not the wow ones.

I did however manage to find it on the esl shop, and afaik they do deliver to ireland:

Although i am with ivan on this, i had one for doom 3 and i found it a nightmare to use. But if your bf is looking for this then he's gonna be happy

I got the 4 Zboards back in the day from my old job, and they are rubbish to be frank.

You would be much better off investing in a logitech G11 or G15...pricey, but way better then Zboards and much more durable.

You can get better functionality of G series keyboards, he can bind macros to the macro keys etc, the G15 has a lovely lcd screen that he can download a wow programme that interacts with it, he can quick see info like gold, whispers etc on his lcd screen.

Its just much better, to put it frankly, the Zboards are an awful gimmick that everyone jumped at first, but then quickly realised its a horrid keyboard.

I'm sure he performes more functions on his pc then wow, music, video, web browsing, typing...and a Zboard is horrid.

If my girlfriend bought me a G15....she would be entitled to ask me for whatever she wants whenever she wants, and get it

copeyhagen

would you go down on the brown for a g15?!

are they that good??!!

orchidsrpretty

Thanks everyone:) I will look at getting the G15. I haven't a clue about these things and the Zboard was the only "gaming keyboard" I knew about:P

KilOit

G15 is a gorgeous board he'll love that, Zboard is tacky piece of ****.

Thanks for the lol of the day haha

its well pricey though coming in at 100 euro retail.

But its defo worth it, you can put a lovely phrase saying across the lcd

" Dont forgot who bought you this, and when I whistle better get running"

Nehaxak

Yeah I had one of those Zboards. Found it rubbish really.

Using a G15 original now for the last couple of years and it's been great, best keyboard I ever got, even the WASD key printing hasn't worn down at all yet

Anyway, would you not be better getting your BF one of these keyboards instead...

See now that's pure love if you bought him one of those

orchidsrpretty

Thanks for all your help I ended up getting the G15, heres hoping he likes it:o

Ivan

If he doesnt, you should consider looking for a boyfriend with better taste

i didnt actually like the g15, frustrated me to the point that i ended up ripping it out and smashing it against my tables untill it started raining keys and bits of plastic. Gief standard dell no frills keyboard.

Behold the keyboard of win:

copeyhagen

haha +1 manties thats how im rolling at home.

only cuz i couldnt be arsed spendin my hard earned dollar on a keyboard, especially that thousand euro one..

seeing as though everyone seems to be viewing this thread, and cuz i dont wanna start another useless thread, can any1 tell me the cost of moving a toon from one account to another.

sorry for hijackin this young ladies thread but shes bought the keyboard!!

cheers

Anti

I have no problem spending the money, but ive gone through both generatiosn of g15's logitech ones, saitek ones but i honestly find the dell keyboards the best for my style. Plus they take up feck all space

As for transfer, i think its something like 16€ but not sure at all.

copeyhagen

dell one works grand for me alright!

cheers ill do that later.

TheDoc

char transfer is €20

****it now im hovering over the buy now button for a G15....

Nehaxak

Just make sure you get the Irish/UK keyboard layout when you buy the G15. Komplett at one stage were only selling the US keyboard layout.
