Thermaltake Flare kills Zboard headaches

[Majestic]

I was tired of the drivers from my Zboard that gave me nothing but headaches. For example: Mozilla popping up in front of my game while I'm playing. Zboard software suddenly turning off then requiring a reinstall to work correctly again.

Most games let you remap keys so why do I need a 50MB driver?

So when I saw this keyboard from Thermaltake I hoped it had no drivers. Yes! No Drivers! It just works like a keyboard. I like the feel better than my other keyboards. So I think I'll just use this and try to find a buyer for my zboards.

You can disable those keys that pop up the other utilities.

It looks cool, but I don't have any money to spend on anything anymore. (see my other post.) If I could, I would be trying to upgrade my rig, but that's not going to happen for a while.

Let us know if you get it.

Are you going to the Showdown lan?

I meant the W key. Try hitting the W key with no drivers. It'll pop a browser up. Although the Fang seems to acts differently then the Merc. It still behaves badly unless you have the correct drivers. Drivers that acted buggy even before I switched to xp 64bit.

Every time I get killed in a game because my fancy keyboard decided to throw a F11 in my keystrokes, I wonder why they make you bind keys in the Zengine instead of the game. So I was happy to see a keyboard with a nice layout that worked as soon as you plugged it in. The complaint must be common because they even advertise the fact it doesn't have drivers. Go to zboard.com forums and you'll read a lot of complaints with their software.
