Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of SteelSeries Limited-Edition Zboard Keyset Wrath of the Lich King

Customer Review: Stops working - Beware
Summary: 2 Stars

I had purchased the WOtLK keyset when the expansion was released. The keyset lasted about 10 months and then some letters and numbers quit working, and it would constantly need to be refreshed to keep the other bound features working. I tried uninstalling, reinstalling, etc. I downloaded everything current from the manufacturers site too (steel series/zboard).
To make sure it wasn't the actual base the keyset plugs in to, I put in my old Burning Crusade keys and they worked perfect.
Ok, so I order a new Wrath of the Lich King keyset from Amazon, installed it, and it worked great for about 10 months. As of the date I am writing this, it went out today. Last night it all worked, but today only the basic numbers and letters work. The emotes (bar 1 and 2) as well as the rest of the functions no longer work.
I made sure all the drivers were up to date, but it still shows like it is offline (the key tray icon is red, and should be green) even with a refresh and a PC restart.

I gave it 2 stars because this is the second keyset in just under 2 years that just went bad. I really love the functionality and that is why I did not give it 1 star. If you buy this, you will enjoy it, but don't expect the keyset to last more than about 10 months.

I guess for 20 bucks you aren't supposed to expect much; that still does not make it right.
I am going to wait until Cataclysm comes out before I replace this keyset again. I am sure they will have a ZBoard Cataclysm keyset.

Description of SteelSeries Limited-Edition Zboard Keyset Wrath of the Lich King

This SteelSeries Zboard Limited Edition Keyset (WotLK) is customized for the World of Warcraft® expansion, Wrath of the Lich King®, but will also work together with any other World of Warcraft® PC game. After mounting the keyset to the SteelSeries Zboard base, the gaming experience will enhance drastically due to specific keys assigned for Raiding and Player vs. Player (PvP) gameplay. Strategical placement of color-coded labelled keys and one-touch macros for frequent commands like roll, duel and invite, will help provide immersion, mastery of the game and help increase the users actions per minute (APM).
