Logitech Gaming Keyboard

It looks pretty sweet to these eyes.
Of course, I'm a recovering gadget-whore who used to be a sucker for any techno-treat making dulcet promises to make up for my lack of killin' fury in various games, so take it with a grain of salt.

But this part tickles me:

System Requirements

* PC with Pentium® processor or compatible
* 256 MB RAM
* 20 MB of available hard disk space
* CD-ROM drive
* USB port
* Windows® XP or Windows Vista™


Little could I have imagined in the dusty, distant past when playing Doom required editing batch files and operating systems came on floppy discs that even the lowly keyboard would eventually proffer a laundry list of pre-installation demands.

Also...does anyone else get the feeling manufacturers slap the Gamer tag on a product as an excuse to price gouge?

How many times have you seen someone take a standard beige accessory, spray paint it black, tart it up with a couple of LED's, paste on an edgy logo and bump the price ten bucks?

and...what do you figure the over/under is for Gordo picking one of these up on the expense account?
