There are a lot of gaming keyboards and mice on the market at the moment. I own a Razer Lachesis and Lycosa myself. While I enjoy the occasional game, I hardly have the time. I write and I write an enormous amount. The Lycosa has the feel of an ultra-slick typing keyboard. I notice faster typing speeds and less finger fatigue than I have experienced on cheaper keyboards.
Wait a minute, aren’t we talking about the Behavior Tech Computer Cheetah? The reason that I am harping on about the virtues of the Lycosa is that there is more to a gaming keyboard than programmable buttons and some cool LED effects. Behavior Tech Computer does not seem to have picked up on this, their offering is all of the whistles without any of the bells. While this looks like a gaming keyboard and in many ways is, do not mistake this for a professional gaming keyboard. If you are serious about your games and have a budget, there are better options out there.
There is no word on price for the 9051H Cheetah Professional Gaming Keyboard and Mouse Kit, but I would hazard a guess that the price will be like the equipment, middling. The mouse is only good to 2000DPI, which is enough, but not as much as some other high end models. If you are only using this for games, then you will probably be happy with your purchase; but if, like me, you spend a big part of each day tapping keys, do yourself a favor and go for something a little bit more geared towards typing. Your ulnar nerve will thank you for it when you get to my age.

Hi I was wondering when you actually tested the 9051??
As I work for the company and know where the samples reside I was wondering if you compared the feel of the keyboard by use or just by brand expectation? but never mind maybe you can write your next article on the handling of the Ferrari F50?

Hi Dave,
It’s quite obvious that you don’t work for the marketing or public relations division at BTC because no one from those departments would leave a comment that would make them or their company look like a pompus ass. Thanks for your comment.

If you would like me to do a hands on review of your derivative product, I will be more than happy to oblige. I endeavor not to let your supercilious drivel cloud my judgment.

Hi Dave,
Are you comparing the 9051 to a Ferrari F50? Let’s be reasonable here shall we.

Hi C.S please contact one of the local sales offices to arrange a sample for review I will personally ensure that you ares sent 1 of the first samples.
The comments I took exception to were the typing response I think it is totally unfair to comment on this without testing the product, the R+D and build quility on this keyboard shld only be commneted on from personal use not from some press release and imagery.
Please see attached link for list of branch office’s
