I just got mine today. Only bought it in case my main one breaks so I haven't actually used it. It's about as long as the Ideazon Merc and the keys feel a little mushier. It comes with extra keys for WSAD, arrows, shift, and space cuz OCZ rocks like that.

Thanks for thinking of us, but this deal has already been posted. OCZ Elixir keyboard for 99 cents after MIR

That's a very similar layout to the Razer Tarantula and also a logitech and a few others. The key feel on the tarantula was great. BUT, I had a few complaints about that layout. 1) I didn't like the non-standard layout of the keys above the arrows. They removed one of the keys to make the del key huge. 2) This is the big one for me - that row of function keys on the left is so close to the left control key that I was constantly hitting it instead of hitting the control key. When I need to hit control, whether it's in photoshop, copy/pasting, or playing a game, I usually hit it with the left side of my palm. But even if I used my finger I would select the last key on the left as it's been for as long as I can remember. This was a constant frustration for me.

Like I said, the feel of the keyboard was incredible. And the keys were lower in depth than normal keys which I liked. But the wonky positioning of the layout put me off. (Not to mention that the usb passthru on the razer was only USB1.0 and it failed along with the LED flickering like crazy. :(

But hell, for 99 cents if you don't mind rebates! :)
