    Me neither - I use the left win key a lot with arrows / other shortcuts... With my fingers on WASD I actually find it really hard to reach the left win key with my little finger (admit it - you just tried it)

    People without a physical or assigned win key are going to struggle with Windows 8!

    I use winkey shortcuts on the desktop quite a lot too, but I don't need 2 of them. I guess it depends how you bind keys for gaming. I use both the left ctrl and alt for stuff and find the winkey to be a nuisance over there, which is why I made my primary keyboard (GH60) I use for gaming not have one there at all. Still have a winkey on the right side and that is just fine.

    I use Lwinkey alot I never use Rwinkey. I don't mind no Rwinkey and don't mind this being replaced with Fn. I use Rshift and never use Lshift. I must type funny.

    As previously discussed I don't game on keyboards...

    Interesting, I don't think that I have ever used the RH win key. I couldn't live without the LH one!

    I occasionally find myself being aroused by keyboards again, that picture was one of those moments!

    Free cable? How can I refuse?
    Yes there are some limited number of sets of CMYK and purple left. I will post what is available after some issues are resolved with production error. Looks like I will also have some very limited amount stray keys available as singles that were overruns or something.

    You don't like the old cable I had from my broken meizu player? Eh, I don't know what color. Do you have CMYK, or just cyan or magenta, or if not then I guess plain white.

    Needs to be beige sleeving shrop. :p

    I think grey sleeve and white shrink would look good!

    & me (for two actually)

    Going to have an ISO poker with blues & beige cherry ds caps and a hybrid poker / pure thing with reds (maybe with a split backspace - haven't decided yet. Thank goodness for the universal plate!)
