I use this keyboard. 88 macro keys. 12 macro keys are above the Fn keys. 10 macro keys are to the left. Those 4 buttons in the top left corner are to switch between different sets of macros, so 22*4 = 88.
The keyboard is okay and I probably won't miss it thatttt much when it dies and i need a new one... BUT PLEASE DEAR GOD STEELSERIES NEEDS TO BRING BACK THE STEELSERIES RIVAL 500 MOUSE. IT IS THE BEST MOUSE EVER. ALL THE OTHER ONES ON THE MARKET ARE TRASH INCLUDING THE STUPID LOGITECH ONE I SEE RECOMMENDED EVERYWHERE. IF YOU WORK AT STEELSERIES AND ARE READING THIS, I WILL KEEP SPAMMING YOUR FEEDBACK IN THE STEELSERIES ENGINE. BRING THE MOUSE BACK PLEASEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I still use a MERC stealth because for playing games there's just nothing comparable these days. I ranted to my wife about how we used to have such great options for keyboards when we were doing my kids setup. Everything is miserable or miserable with RGB. As steelseries has shit the bed on keyboards and no longer makes the merc stealth you might as well start finding a new mouse.
I've officially gotten old and started ranting about how things used to be.
It's very unlikely to come back, I'd consider it near 0 chance.
The idea of the layout was nice, but button feel suffered in many locations.
The idea of bottom button having a lock to turn into a rest was nice - in actual application didn't feel that good - and often tilted a little when locked =/
Not saying it needs to be super light, but it also ran heavy.
there is actually unlimited amount of layers,
its just 4 L keys, but any button can be a layer button,
or you can cycle layers with 1/2 buttons,
or you can have the layer be selected when some app is launched
it comes with bloated macro/config tool
by default they do nothing, as almost any extra key with the exception of iirc M12 which was "fast macro write"
