Led has nothing to do with image quality (if anything it makes colors blueish), it's only refers to the light behind the actual panel.]]></description>

It's okay. But the coating wears of really quickly and makes it look and feel like shit. And you can't replace them on the razer keyboards, because they use non-standard caps.]]></description>

		<blockquote>any thoughts on the deathadder black edition ziggy? is it virtually the same as the deathadder v2?

was thinking about picking it up soon</blockquote>

I wouldn't buy the black edition, I had it for 2 days before i sent it back and bought a standard one again. The sides look more "grippy", but in actual fact they are slippery as hell... playing straight after a shower was a massive no in that respect because the mouse literally just kept falling out of my hand... not sure what Razer were thinking for this one.

So as pretty as it looks i would steer clear, if you want something a little different check out this guys ebay store, my brother just bought the dragon age 2 version: http://computers.shop.ebay.co.uk/PC-Accessories-/171959/i.html?_catref=1&#38;_fln=1&#38;_ssn=shop4up&#38;_trksid=p3911.c0.m282]]></description>

		<blockquote>[...]

I don't think those cherries do nkro, you'd better check the geekhack wiki on that. Also those cherry keyboards are fairly light and not as well built as other mechanicals. If you dont go mechanical, don't get the cheapest keyboard you can find though. Get something that has decent kro @ gaming keys.</blockquote>

That specific model does has no key roll, but the keys are lasered. So they have smooth slippery keys. If you want red switches, with more rough keys and good looks and better quality, you'd best look at choc mini keyboard, or flico 104 with reds. The choc mini is less expensive. They have those in brown and reds. I saw the flico 104 on gamegear.be for over 200 euro's. It has keypad extra though (I was tempted, but it's an insane amount of money).
What surprises me, is that there are no LED versions to be found. I really love LED keys in the dark, when I'm gaming :)]]></description>
