In my opinion, the Fang definitely does not fall into the "must have" category of PC accessories... but it sure is nice to have one! The keys are soft and comfortable and the response time is good. It doesn't have that clicky feedback you get from your keyboard but that's not necessarily a bad thing. The button placement is great and the ZEngine software is very nice (if a little prone to startup crashes). The Fang could theoritically be a great accessory for gamers on the go because it is far superior to any integrated laptop keyboard. However, in practice, it is a little too big to qualify as a portable accessory. Then again, if you are already lugging around a 15-20lbs gaming laptop then I don't see why you'd have problems adding this one to your backpack (or trailer). All in all, I am very happy with the Fang.
