The keyboard is a prototype

Needs some work... but might be just the ticket.

Looks promising, still needs work of course.  It has the two things that I really want: LCD screen and mechanical keys.  I still have no idea why Logitech hasn't made one.  With Logitech you have to chose between either a LCD screen OR mechanical keys; they won't give you both.  I will be keeping my eyes out for this keyboard since I have been wanting to upgrade from my G15 for a mechanical keyboard; I just can't give up my LCD screen since I monitor my temps/loads a lot while I game.

I'm kind of liking the soft wrist wrest it shows on KB.

pass. razer for life. 

I am guessing you have not used Windows 8? That is the new Windows logo. Secondly since they keyboard is extremely early and prototype level right now, I don't think anyone outside EVGA is able to judge the quality.

First, I'd rather kill myself than use Windows 8 for any long period of time. Secondly, I base my quality off EVGA's past products mostly P67 and other recent motherboards that are a mess of complaints and failures.

So I could go with Logitech which has a better layouts, more options, probably higher quality, better warranty and CS, and a proper Windows symbol or I go with EVGA which has none of that.

Layout is different for everyone, so yes maybe logitech is better for you. higher quality this is something that I trust only a few reviewers about, majority of people review such as "i hit b button it types b button... 5 stars!!!" but logitech quality is not what it was even 3 years ago I hope they return to what they once were but they seem to be pretty good about their top-end stuff. Now the warranty and Customer Support (?) this is where I think EVGA is far superior to Logitech. I had a G940 that was constantly having problems and the only thing they said was it was working as intended they eventually sent me a new one on the 4th RMA, I had a g600 that they recognized there was a problem and told me to RMA it back... never returned it and never had records of the ticket for RMA, but tracking had said it was delivered to them.
 
As for the windows symbol... what Jacob said.

I got RMA's for products years our of warranty, heck I had a G7 (the one that was defective for most people) and it was more than a year out of warranty they RMA'd it for me 5 times then gave me a refund and a discount on a G5.

I do like the keys,  I have a hard time with newer KB low profile Keys.
 
I guess I should have read all negative posts about EVGA in this thread before I posted mine about this new prototype keyboard.
I have only been coming to this Forum for a Year or so and for the last 3 or 4 months I find it hard to read positive posts anymore.

Mice and keyboards seem like a wasted venture since so many will stick with Logitech or Razer in an established market. They did bust into the PSU market well after the initial 1500NEX then going superflower so I hope I'm wrong and they hit it out of the park again.  As Arctic_Eagle showed, many wish they would double their efforts into motherboards instead. EVGA has certainly been aggressive in expanding their product range in the last 4 years.

Better layout?  There is only so much keyboard layouts differ, and it's all personal opinion.  They might have more options, but still none of their options have everything that EVGA's has.  Show me a Logitech keyboard with mechanical keys and a LCD.  Logitech has been lacking in high quality the past few years; and I haven't had any problems with my EVGA products (X58, X79 Dark, lots of GPUs).  I haven't used Logitech's CS or warranty in a few years, but I doubt it's gotten much better (didn't impress me at all but wasn't terrible).  I'm guessing you haven't seen Logitech's keyboards because they are using the same new Windows symbol that everyone is using now; it's the same as the symbol on the EVGA keyboard.

Logitech CS and warranty are just fine. The last time i needed to do a RMA, customer service agent was friendly. They sent me a brand new MX518 with a prepaid shipping label to return the old one. What more could a customer ask for when they have an issue with a product. I tried asking if EVGA covers shipping both ways on peripherals but they ignored the question. I'm surprised one of their techs didn't say "This isn't an official communication channel for EVGA" again.
 
The peripherals market is crowded. Gamers have a lot of choices who they buy from. It's going to be very hard for EVGA to shake things up.

The LCD that could link up with Precision X would be a huge selling point to me.  I haven't used a mechanical keyboard yet, but would be willing to switch over to one.  My biggest thing is custom illuminated keys when it comes to gaming, I don't really mess with macros. 
 
I also agree that a carbon fiber wrapped W,A,S,D combo would be sweet.

If you want custom illuminated keys you should check out Corsair New K70 RGB mechanical keyboard that's due out very soon. EVGA doesn't have anything that can compete with it.

Precision X would be nice so be on the keyboard and your FPS. Mechanical keyboard I have to say have been the most helpful in typing. My fingers aren't so exhausted and I do network management so alot of my stuff is hand-jammed into a command prompt eventually after about 3 hours your fingers begin to tire on a non-mechanical keyboard. I also hope EVGA gets their hands on the Cherry MX-RGB keys.
 
I also agree that carbon fiber wrapped WASD would be perfect. Like the Corsair keys how they are wrapped in metallic red.

I did expect something a bit more flashy/noticeable, but perhaps they are currently working on the mechanics of it atm, and will work on the looks later on.
 
Also giving what I know of Logitech's LCD display, the software makers have to set their software to work with the keyboard's LCD, and that makes me wonder how many different programs will work with an EVGA LCD screen at first. (assuming that anything made for a logitech LCD won't work for tech. or legal reasons)

Many things on prototypes don't match final design specs. I can't speak for EVGA directly but early prototypes are there to get the basic hardware in order first and foremost. Then aesthetics follow. It might be a good idea to also 'speak your mind' here in this thread about what you would like to see in a keyboard so that EVGA can read the feedback. Who knows...maybe an idea from some of you can be included in the final design... 

I'd like to see RGB cherry-MX switches (I think corsair has an exclusive right to use those atm, but it'll run out at some point) a larger LCD screen, and while I don't use them myself, more Macro/"G-keys" as well as a windows key lock (that I see is already added in this prototype). A totally new thing I'd like to see is a caplocks key lock, SO I DON'T START TALKING...  er sorry, start typing in caps when I bump a pretty much useless key. Granted I know you can just rip the key off on a mechanical keyboard, or do a registry edit to disable it, neither option is something I'd prefer to do.
 
And while some keyboards have a USB passthrough, or headset jacks, I don't see those as all that appealing to me.
 
as for the surface, I've had brushed metal bases on my corsair keyboards, but didn't really like it, I'd prefer a Plastic with a high quality look and feel.
As for the WASD keys, I would like a swapable option, but I'm not sure a carbon fiber option would be the best in this case. Maybe a durable textured rubber like on my Corsair would be an option.
 
I also saw the g6 and g7 keys by the arrow keys, but given that I don't know many people who game with the arrow keys, that location doesn't seem to really offer any advantage.

You got my full attention EVGA with this one. As MBP, I'm also looking to upgrade my G15 to a mech keyboard but none has an LCD screen. Macros are not needed in my case but an LCD + mech keys are a must. Right now my target is set on the Silver Corsair k70 with blue lights. The big reason I didn't buy one up until now is the LCD screen. The other reasons are, availability and burning lights.
