I use an N52 it has everything I need for most games including WOW. The only games I haven't tried it with is strategy games. The Z board looks too big, the whole point of the N52 is so I don't have to search for keys and I don't hit the wrong keys (I used to always hit the wrong button in DAOC, and trying to switch through the command buttons 1-10 by holding shift was a nightmare during a fight).

I have looked at this, but kept my old keyboard. I remap everything to suit my style anyway, and my left hand always rests on the homekeys. I have considered a custom paintjob and the addition of tactile nubs on certain keys.

Thanks for the opinions. I've never seen the N52, so I'll look into that as well.
My general problem is I HATE the standard WASD movement keys for FPS games. In the past I have always shifted my keyboard to the left and used the keypad, but with new games like Battlefield 2, this is becoming increasingly difficult.
What I really want is the Ergodex DX1, but at $150 it's a little too spendy:
