Zboard Fang Gaming Board Review

Introduction

Continuing in my recent fashion for gaming accessory reviews, today I have the Zboard Fang to take a gander at. This board seems to be (As the WolfClaw devour is also) the gaming part of the original Zboard, sliced off from the keyboard section and packaged up ready as a standalone product. Today I am going to test this board with a few games from different genres. These games have all been gifted with Fang Keysets, so lets see how they do.

A little About Ideazon

As PC gamers around the world can attest, the excitement of being the first to get you hands on the latest and most advanced PC game is easily dampened by the cumbersome and lengthy process of learning how best to play the game.

  • Print and memorize the manual
  • Learn keyboard shortcuts
  • Change keyboard layouts
  • Do whatever it takes to win

For Oren Kramer, a flight attendant and an avid gamer, the proverbial light came on while learning to master the basic commands of StarCraft, an intense real-time strategy game. Oren wanted to start strategizing immediately, but couldn't do it without knowing the commands required to play. Even in the middle of play, he'd be to referring back to the manual figuring out how to switch commands or determine which moves would optimize his performance.

So he asked himself, what if there was a simpler way for new users to get into the game? What if gamers could focus more on strategy instead of memorizing key commands? What if a keyboard could allow gamers to execute complex manoeuvres requiring a combination of movements with just a single keystroke? From these simple thoughts emerged the promise of the Zboard, a revolutionary interchangeable keyboard for gaming.
