    Hi guys, had my r1 since April of last year and still loving it. Was just looking for some opinions out there on the TactX keyboard and how it compares to the one on the m11x. Sure, the teenager in me loves the whole Alien FX light up deal and all, but I was looking more to hear about the feel of it. Are the keypresses similiar to the feel of the m11x's keyboard? I'm not entirely sure why, but there is something that I really like a lot about the feel of the way that keystrokes hit on my m11x, and was looking for something similiar on the desktop that I'll be picking up next week.

    Do not buy Alienware peripherals. They're horrible and completely over prices. For that money, get Logitech's new G-series devices. They're unmatched.

    The TactX keyboard and mouse are rebadged Logitech, and at times, more expensive than the Logitech counterpart. In addition, Logitech has a great warranty, pretty much all my peripherals are Logitech, can't beat their warranty :) My G5 I've had for 5 years now, and I've RMA'ed it 3 times, each at no cost to me, and I got an upgraded 'revision' every single time. I'm pretty sure I'll buy a new mouse after since I feel guilty LOL!
