The keys are not flat, are too high. This makes your fingers struck to other keys and the keyboard is very noisy. When you use them too much these no-flat keys have little blocks when you don't press them exactly from the top.

I could never play without keyboard with no flat keys. The Logitech G15 is bad as well.

Watch for Razer Tarantula, this is really pro.

Nothing can ever beat my old Compaq Presario keyboard I got back in 2000. It's so great and I know the keys by memory because I've been using it so long. It even has macro keys on it, something unheard of or slightly rare back in 2000. Especially on a normal keyboard. By chance one day I found a guy selling 5 of these on Ebay so I bought them all. I replaced the original with one of the new ones, but now I have 4 others just waiting to be used when this one gets too dirty or if I spill something on it.
Most the time when I try out these new gaming keyboards at Best Buy or Circuit City, they just don't feel right. Feel is very important for me, because I play FPS games just as much as I play MMOs. Pressing a wrong key, or pressing it too slow or uncertainly can cost you a round in a FPS, so I'm very hesitant to switch.

haha you must be talking about one of the old school 10 pound ones that you can knock someone out with right? When you press the keys they feel really soft and hardly make any noise what so ever. I have two sitting next to me as I type this. Kick ass keyboards.

Never really went for the whole gaming keyboard thing.

Just that a basic media keyboard has been suiting me well for a while.

Looking to replace it with an LED backlit keyboard and the Eclipse is looking mighty damn fine.

This keyboard sucks as the G15 Logitech. They have keys high as the 60's keyboards (commodore 64 keyboard, noob keyboards). Are old, all these keyboard will be replaced with the flats one. 2 years ago only 1 keyboard was flat, now are the most, and in the future all the keyboards will be flat.
For childs there will be keyboards with many buttons, colourful, with gadgets everywhere, but a bad keyboard with 10000 gadjets will remain a bad keyboard.

For gaming try the flat keyboards, or you will always struck with other buttons key.

You say that this keyboard is soft at pressing them and don't make noise, at the begin they ALL looks soft :D , you didn't try many keyboards in your life...  after 6 months they will have little blocks. All the keyboards are so made, but with the flats this won't be noticed because the pressing depth is small.

Try the Razer Tarantula, or even any other flat keyboard is better than tons of useless buttons, or display, or jack.
