Woo-hoo!! I don't know about you but I love my gaming sessions with my led back-lit keyboard to be interrupted by dead batteries!! It's the best ever!!

Would be nice for couch surfing for HTPC and the like, I'll admit. But can't really see using it on my main PC where running a USB cable just isn't an issue.

I've got a handful of various bluetooth keyboards that I use for that now, most of which get used maybe twice a year.

I've had good luck with my Logitech 915 wireless keyboard. Battery life is excellent. Because these have the ROG name I'm sure they will be expensive.

Hmm wanted to read the article but I get a bad gateway error.

I could see myself using a wireless/wired keyboard to more easily switch between machines but other then that.

I'd really like one for the test bench. I also like the clean design of the one in the article image. I don't want a bunch of volume knobs and other BS on my keyboards.

I'm curious about the full-size model as well. It'll really depend on the price and what kind of batteries are used. I've got an old Logitech K800 for the rig in the living room and it's been awesome. I've had it almost ten years now and it uses 2x AA NiMH which I have to replace about once every 3 years or so. It stays plugged into the CRG9 for charging most of the time but it's nice that I can disconnect it when I move everything to game on the LG C9. If this has a similar solution I might be interested in getting it for my laptop that is connected to a monitor.

I was actually looking into getting a new keyboard during the holidays but couldn't really find anything that fit the bill of what I was after. Namely illuminated, rechargeable, and with BT since I don't do hardcore K+M gaming that needs the lower latencies and I don't like dongles on laptops. I'm on neither side of the fence when it comes to the rainbow-bright RGB, as long as I can pick a color and the white is nice. However, if this thing is in the $200-$300 range, forget it.
