Im Hit!

im sorry to hear all this bad news, but it doesnt concearn me i enjoy this style key and like i menetioned abovbe i truley am not a machanical believer, i believe in the physics of the switch not that it gives ANY advantage or inhibits your game play in any way shape or form and with the digital expansion to 10 possible keys as the same time, your litlery in the same exact classifcation as a black widdow or any other comprible gamer keyboard, a switch is not the end all be all answer for everybody, you should keep that in mind when giving feedback out, i never say nay about any featrue, just if its for me or not.

perosnaly their isnt a feature id change on that board, i love the low profile keys. i type on a siderwinder x6 microsfto very low profile keys, no tilt bars and built in wrist wrest ALL very important features to me, far out reaching does it have machanical keys. see i'm a conciouse gamwer, i know i log COUNTLESS hours and i know this is horrible for my boddy in many ways, why pretend you cant do anything about it by using these super tall keys that develope carpetl tunel in 80% of high use users. i'm just saying, lets look at other things when comparing this board, its a very one sided bunching berage right now with no consideration for the other features. for the price, no those features aren't their, but your not paying the premium on the price for the keys. razer did this at 250$ which is prety close to cost compared to other products, just look at its brother the strike 7. they marked that baby right up to 300$ no quewstions asked. i suspect the same costs because of the cheaper screen on the strike 7. 

Pricing is interesting, to say the least.

MadCatz is offering, arguably, a bit more. You don't get a USB hub on the Deathstalker, like the STRIKE 7. MadCatz offers 12 additional macro keys plus many profiles and numerious icons on the touchscreen to map into macros. In addition you also get 4 dedicated media keys. The Deathstalker has 5 dedicated macro keys. No media keys. You do get 10 extra dynamic adaptive tactile keys but those can only be assigned to launch programs, assume mouse functions, keyboard function...etc but cannot be remapped for macros.

You're supposed to be able to set a wallpaper on the touchscreen. That would have been cool. Does not seem to work so far. I am hoping I just have the file size or type wrong, but I don't see anything that states this. I also want to change the homepage for the touschcreen browser app. This might not matter if I could set favorites for it. Alas, you can't do either, from what I can tell.

Neither has very useful apps for their touch screen. But I did like the Teamspeak embed on the STRIKE. Also the notebook/journal app is very cool for quickly jotting down DayZ coordinates and such.

I am torn really. The Razer Deathstalker looks better and more elegant to me. The STRIKE 7 looks like a toy. But it has more useful functions and features. The capacitive HD screen on the Deathstalker is much nicer and plays back video, shows a browser and youtube functions.
