Is a separate keyboard required to use this keyset? Will the keyset work with any keyboard or only steel Series keyboards?

Yeah, you have to use a separate keyboard for this keyset. I used mine with the Z-board keyboard, but it's a little buggy. I bet the Steel Series keyboard would work better.

only from this company but will work with new drivers with old version , you get the new drivers from Website

the key set is only the buttons for a steelseries keyboard i think its for the zboard it will only fit the steelseries keyboards its made for, i forgot which it is but i had bad problems with driver compatability with other gaming accessories

We bought a separate keyboard set because this is just the keys. We bought the steel series as a gift so I am sorry this is not clearer

Yes, it is a "unique" key. You don't "cut" a new key, you program the lockset to accept a different key. If you have other "Kwikset" keys laying around, you can use those. Very neat lockset.

The set gives one complete set of all keys on a typical keyboard. Some keys are given in several combinations since some keyboards arrange the symbols in different ways. Some of the stickers were not used by me. They are black with bold white letters/numbers/symbols on them. I have bought a set once before from Amazon that had 4 complete sets - one was black on white, one was white on black, one was yellow on black, and one was black on yellow. Cheers, Lisa

Hi, unfortunately the whole set of keys will have the same colour. I figured out why individual keys are lighted so dim, it is largely due to having too small see-thru sections for the lighting to come through. Still, it is a sturdy keyboard. I am pounding on it and it is working fine. As for Mice, the corded G600 is excellent for its price. Superb Value. My hand doesn't cramp grasping it for hours on end.

The keyboard doesn't come with a driver disk so it's basically compatible with anything. It's a plug and play type keyboard.

This is NOT a standard size key layout despite the size of the overall keyboard itself. It will take you time to get used to if you need to maintain your typing speed. If you want a full sized keyboard with a full "normal" key layout then you need to look elsewhere. I would suggest going to a local computer hardware shop and putting your hands on a few keyboards before making your descision.

I have no clue, however, I do know you need an adapter to connect it. Mine came with it. After that, its the same as any other keyboard I've used.

To nagappa...I'd like to ask if the layout of the keys of a Bilingual keyboard any different from the American standard keyboard? Basically, what I'm really trying to say is--do they have the exact layout? Please, let me know. Thank you.

We bought the Key Set first and realized we needed the actual Keyboard. The keyboard we bought had a generic key set with it, we just added our World of Warcraft keyset to the key board.

If you want to program the keys, yes you do need software (I never used it). If you just want to use it like a normal keyboard and take advantage of the back lighting - no software is need for this. If you read my review, my biggest complaint is the return key isn't large like the picture - it's the sizeof the backspace key. I say false advertising.

Throw it away. They no longer make it. Steel Series was never able to really support the product or make it function well. I tried for weeks to get it to work. You can use just about any USB connector but that may not resolve the connection issues due to difference in wires between manufacturers. I stopped using Steel Series due to poor or no support.

It has the standard number of keys like a keyboard, minus the extract number pad keys. It's pretty comfortable to use after a few usages to get used to it. The keys are a little small if you're used to a laptop keyboard but apparently this keyboard is one of the full sizes.

Thanks for the info but by clicking stowaway keyboard icon and connect to keyboard command doesn't work. And when I use the connection manager from BB menu it detects te keyboard but I couldn't pair it because it won't accept my password. I think I'll have to use this only for my Sony micro pc.

The shift keyboard is a gaming keyboard. Each keyset is customized for its corresponding game. You do need the keyboard for the keyset to work. You remove the generic keyset that comes with the keyboard and replace the custom keyset for the game you've chosen. Hope this helps!

Actually I wondered that myself when I got it and it's a little quieter go on their website www.steelseries.com and I forgot what colors the keys are in the color chart but that chart is !really! Accurate. But as an over all keyboard I love it and all around (sorry for the Grammer doing this off my phone)

PS/2 keyboards have a standard wiring configuration. If the device uses a PS/2 interfaceit is setup to accept any keyboard with a PS/2 connector.
