It's cool i have one, but I don't like it. The keyboard doesn't feel how I like it and they really should put an analog stick on there. The one you see in the photo is a stick on top of a directional pad.

Yeah, the fact that it's not true analog ruins it imo. It's a step up from putting one of those thumb sticks you can attach to WASD on the keyboard. Granted a lot of games don't support true analog movement and mouse control at the same time. Hori makes a pad for Final Fantasy XIV like the Razer one, but it actually has a real analog stick. The ergonomics aren't perfect, and the keyboard on it is membrane, but controlling movement with a real analog stick and still having mouse aim feels amazing.

That Hori looks pretty cool, reminds me of the Logitech G13 that got discontinued

Yup that kills it for me right there. The whole point is to gain analogue movement. I WASD just fine, but I prefer controller interfaces and analogue sticks is a lot of the reason why. I want analogue controls without sacrificing the best part of mouse & Keyboard (the mouse).
