OCZ Sabre Gaming Keyboard
- Pros: Look good.
- Cons: Keys do not light up. Priced much too high. Did not measure up to expectations. Returned the item.

Manufacturer Response:Hello,we are sorry that this product did not fulfill your needs. We understand that the choice of a keyboard can be a very personal thing, and we respect your comments. Thank you
Optimus Budgetus
- Pros: (purchased elsewhere) This is a good, solid keyboard. It has a good heft to it, and the most important function of any keyboard (the regular keys) it gets right. The keys have good weighting, are quiet, and are at a proper angle for my style of typing.
There is also a unique layout for the Home/Del/Ins/End cluster that works extremely well, and the 128mb flash drive built into the keyboard (which is where the driver software installers are at) is a handy idea.
Oh yeah, the OLED keys! The OLEDs are a sharp, crisp 64x64 pixel amber layout, with thick clear plastic key bodies. They have a firm, springy feel which is very satisfying. Any 64x64 BMP works fine, though you may want to convert to black-and-white yourself if you want to control how dithering works (remember, this is not a greyscale OLED, the pixels are either on or off).
The geek-cred of this keyboard is well-nigh infinite.
- Cons: There are several shortfalls and limitations. Firstly, installation on WinVista64 SP1 was a real pain, giving unhelpful "Error 1722". This is a permissions-related issue; you must turn User Account Control (UAC) off while installing; running the installer as Administrator is insufficient. This will require a reboot. You also need Microsoft .NET version 3.5 SP1 installed (get it at http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=ab99342f-5d1a-413d-8319-81da479ab0d7&displaylang=en), and this fact is not flagged by the installer. Once installed, you can turn UAC back on and you're fine. I'm sure this will be fixed in future releases. The manager software is clunky and not well-documented, but can be figured out. The manager software needs to be active for the OLEDs to work; minimize it to tray instead of closing. The OLEDs auto-turn-off after a few minutes (no doubt to extend their life and prevent burn-in; OLEDs aren't durable), but hitting one of the OLEDs will wake it back up
- Other Thoughts: Note that the main keyboard is NOT backlit.
A keyboard this expensive really should have a couple of USB ports built in. A keyboard of this type and expense should also have media controls (volume, playback-controls) and a brightness control for the glowy-blue-lights at the end.
Impressive
- Pros: This keyboard has amazing features and functionality. I use this keyboard here at work and I love the things you can do with it. For example setting one of the OLED's to read copy and another to read paste for two easy Macro's right beside one another. Also being able to switch profiles on the fly and have the OLED's change for example if you were going into a game to show different weapons, items, etc is very impressive. The keys all feel solid and the quality of the build seems superb. There is also an Internal 128mb flash drive built into this keyboard I guess if you need it for portability such as going to LAN parties and wanting all your drivers, cfgs, etc instead of carrying an extra flash drive along with you. Not bad OCZ...just get some new drivers out, keep up the good work. =)
- Cons: A bit steep on the price...I own a g15 as well which has great functions and setup for gaming. The advantage this has is definitely the OLED's and the software is fairly simple to use.
- Other Thoughts: Great keyboard OCZ! Perfect for gaming, office use, mobility, etc!
Now let's see another Mouse similar to the Dominatrix feel and quality get released. A lot of people loved that mouse, wish you would bring a revision 2 back with higher quality. I would be willing to throw a decent amount for another dominatrix build if it was revised and quality built. =)
