I jove the lycosa

get a regular keyboard.

Get an IBM Model M.
Mine has lasted since September 1989 and the keys don't ghost like on cheap new USB KBs.

I use a Lycosa so I can give you a bit of information about it.

Pros:

Keys feel awesome

Keyboard looks awesome in the dark (I play a lot in the dark so this was a plus for me)

You can program or disable any key on the keyboard. (I disabled the left windows key and made the right windows key open my web browser)

I listen to a lot of music so the media control panel was a nice feature. Can program the media keys to open/work with any of the popular media players.

Anti-Ghosting for most of the keys around my movement keys. Capslock and Alt aren't included in these keys

Really fast response from the keys, I used a Saitek Eclipse II before buying this KB and I wasn't able to perform certain trick jumps in one of the games I used to play because the input lag was too high. Lycosa cuts alot of input lag out of the picture for me.

Cons:

Cheaply made. Keys can malfunction causing them to be ultra sensitive and activate with the slightest touch. This happened to my "4" key and now I can't bind this key in any of the games I play because it will randomly activate the key with the slightest nudge around it.

Some people will not like how weak the back light is on the keys, I however don't find it to be weak at all.

The analog jacks for mic in and sound out are also not good on them. If I plug in my HD280 Pro's into my analog jacks on my keyboard the sound will sound a bit weaker, bass weaker as well. If I plug in my mic into the mic in jack, people complain about my voice containing loud line static.

Keys need cleaning after heavy use frequently. They collect the sweat and oil produced by your hands and make the keyboard appear as if it is losing the rubber coating on the keys.

Thats about all I can think of concerning the keyboard's pros and cons. If I were to get a new keyboard I would probably get the new SteelSeries 7G or an old IBM Like I have on my downstairs PC. Either way it has to be black :D
