What I liked most about the Thermaltake TT eSPORTS Challenger Pro keyboard was its ability to load up to four different profiles. In Starcraft II, this gave me the ability to use the same key to produce units regardless of which race (Terran, Protoss, or Zerg) I was playing.

What they ought to do is put macros on a little detachable keypad that will attach to either the right or the left based on the users preference. Shouldn't cost more than about $10US extra to do something like that.

Left handed players like myself would use them. It's very difficult to find a keyboard which can be used by lefthanded players - I started gaming using the numeric keys and despite trying several times just haven't been able to retrain...

My only question is can the default keys be overwritten and does it include odds keys like numlock...
