The first thing you'll notice here is the size of the keyboard, under a foot in diameter. This is quite a bit smaller than most keyboards, but a perfect LAN party portable size. A lot of time when you're LANing at a friend's place, your computer setup room is limited, so a small gamepad is perfect.

While the Warrior may take a bit of getting used to, it's pretty comfortable under your hand if you give it the chance. For starters the thumb doesn't rest in an awkward position when you're playing a game; it rests directly under the thumb.

In fact everything about the design of this keyboard is very ergonomic, just as they say it is. The most used keys rest within easy access of the fingers and thumb, even if it does feel very weird to use at first.

I had this thing around and was using it for a day or two before my hand really got used to it. Now, depending on the game, I've come to prefer it's feel when in a shooter. Its just more comfortable than a standard layout.

Another cool feature is that it requires no special drivers to run side by side with another keyboard. This means no having to keep yet another little program running down on your taskbar, or worse yet having to swap out keyboards whenever you wanted to use this one.

There are volume keys on the keyboard itself, like many keyboards tend to include these days. I would have actually been disappointed had this not been the case, as that volume key can come in very handy in late night gaming.

And speaking of keeping your gaming silent, these keys don't make hardly any noise when pressed. I would even say that this keyboard would even be useable with someone asleep in the room, without fear of possibly waking them up, just don't forget to put on headphones.

The Warrior also features dual Ctrl keys. Not every game does, but quite a few look upon the left and right control keys as separate buttons from one another, allowing you to bind something to both keys in games that will allow it. There is also a full set of F keys, F1-F12, for those games which use the full range. Little things like this can make or break a product of this type, and Wolf King kept that in mind when designing this board. Things like this are why Wolf King products are a good value for the price.
