Get one. I've had one for about 8 months and I love it. It's very programable and if you move your fingers off the keys, it's alot easier to get them back on the right keys again (I always lose my place on a keyboard and end up getting fragged because of it). It's also very comfortable for my hand for those 16 hour LAN parties.
The new N52 sounds pretty good with 3 rows of keys instead of 2, got to check into one.

I loved mine but the original interface on the very first issue of them was poor; if you get an old used one make sure to use the downloadable software.

It is decent, HOWEVER, I have a problem with mine where if I press 3 keys simultaneously a fourth key is also registered as pressed. this really limits the uses for that key.

not sure if it is just mine, but I have seen a couple of others mention similar behavior.

Its nice to have, but for some strange reason I like the keyboard better. I think that's because I like having a couple of larger keys to hit (spacebar, shift key) for more common tasks like jumping or sprinting in Red Orchestra (Red Orchestra Homepage).
But, I'm not a video game god, either!!
