Does anyone still make this type of keyboard?

This is my main keyboard for gaming,.. and I love it

However Zboard sold out to SteelSeries, and they no longer offer these. I can find them used, but wondering if there is a company that makes anything like it today. Really wanting one that is wireless, but beggars can't be choosers.

Even one of the smaller style that is not a full keyboard would work to... just having a hard time finding any company that makes something like it.

Cyphilis, that's the most awesome keyboard I've ever seen.

Me envious!

Man its the most awesome keyboard Ive ever used :) Its almost impossible to go back to a normal one. I may just have to buy a used one and sit a little closer to the TV. Do they make extensions for wired keyboards?

You sir, have your head on right today. I on the other hand,... do not.. obviously. I blame my 7 week old causing a lack of sleep.

You're not the first one to come into this forum and post insanity because of that, buddy.

I went ahead and bought another new one still in the box... so good to go! My first one I've had for a long long time with no problems,. hopefully it will continue or someone else will start making something like it again.

why not just use a gaming panel like a nostromos or a G13?

Because I still need a full keyboard as well as the gaming pad. Having them incorporated into one single unit is nice because I can find keys in the dark without having to look down or hunt one or the other down. Im just used to this keyboard layout, and plan to move it from room to room.

I used to have a ZBoard and after the initial excitement about the changeable panels waned, I ended up sticking with the stock layout. The problem with these game layouts is that the button placement is really no better than the default keyboard. I now use a QPAD mechanical keyboard.
