0.o Standard? That there is a clicky dell.

I rate the sidewinder X6 (My current keyboard) over the BlackWidow. I have a lot more macro keys. You have 10 profiles, as opposed to my 3. But I generally use the first, and have sets for programs instead of modes. Also, I have more macro keys which means that switching profiles is also less needed.

Everything can be made to work with Linux, even keyboard shortcuts. A keyboard regardless of style or fashion is easily the most simplistic I/O device that a computer has. Each key/symbol/letter provides an interrupt which is interpreted on screen as a character/symbol etc, in Linux it is especially easy to assign a function to an interrupt. I have never really found much use for keyboard shortcuts using Linux anyway. I use only one. Alt + t opens terminal.

That's nice, but this is MUCH nicer.
@Mark: I bet one of two of the following things are true;
1) There is an underground community developing drivers + software for Maximus
2) The keyboard works with Linux, but it does not support key customisation.

Similar to mine, i use Ctrl + Alt + t for a terminal and Ctrl + shift + esc for system monitor.
I used to have a fancy, wireless keyboard which cost 3 times as much as my clicky dell and i hated it, not as much as the mouse but it was horrible. I like the feel of the clicking, also a beauty to type on.
