Hey. I was just wondering if anyone in North America has gotten their keyboard from Datel yet, as the release date hasnt changed (its still the 11th). I know its still a bit early on but.....

Oh and does anyone know how long it would take for something to get here from the UK?

I have several friends who have the keyboard now, they say that several of the keys don't work exactly right but its mostly on the num-pad which isnt really needed.

Agh! This is more antagonizing than the release of Worms World Party...which was pushed back a record six or seven times...

Hmph...for my sake and the sake of all Delawareans, that damn thing better be on my door step soon! http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif

yea I am gearing up to make the leap to GC PSO at about mid summer or so. I am still playing the trusty PSOv1 for DC http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif Was amazed sega is not forgetting about us. Easter decorations went up on dreamcast PSO as well http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

I seen the original ASCII keyboard on multiple sites. I am gonna probobly order that one....but...i am not sure how i am gonna like that wide controller feel. I wonder how natural/non-natural it feels. I like the tiny keyboard, however not having the standard controller in my hand through long hours of gameplay, I fear might throw me off if i buy it.

So thats why i was gonna get the powerboard, however some people are complaining about sticky keys, and a few keys not working.

Hmmmm. Powerboard 20 bux, ASCII keyboard 70 bux.

Anyone used or held the ASCII keyboard yet?(thats the official GC kb with the controller keyboard hybrid)

Thanx, -LordNikon

LordNikon the ascii controller is actually very comfortable....i was skeptic at first but now thats the only way i play....i like it alot better than kb and controller separated....well best of luck on pso gc this summer and about the easter decorations on DCv1...those decorations are on the disc itself ST dint put those up they are automaticly put up when the internal time on your DC hits near easter...one of the old codes for DC pso was to unlock the diff holiday themes......

When I hear of people in the U.S. actually getting their boards, I'll order one for myself. I'm glad I waited.

I agree with that too. For em the problem of the ascii more than the prize was the fact it is a controller and a keyboard all in one. But the first day I was already used to it and is a lot better than a keyboard separated. Very comfortable. The back of it suits perfectly in the jab. And being that wide isn't a problem. Actually I want something like that for my PC. Mouse and keyboard all in one and that very comfortable hehe

I've heard some people say that they got their Powerboards...however I haven't actually seen any of them, so i cannot confirm this. Atleast I'm covered for the whole keyboard thing. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif *hugs Happy Fun Box*

Wow thanx a lot for the feedback about the ascii controller, I am gonna snag one soon. I seen the broadband adaptor tucked away in the darkness at a local walmart. Was mad hidden in the back behind some gamecubes. Prolly just gonna get that this weekend to get it out of the way.

I eventually want my cube to have. Ascii kb controller, portable battery pack, 5.6" LCD screen, and broadband adaptor. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif Ultimate setup.

Thanx for the feedback, now time ot go track down an ASCII kb for cube http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

Right now, I'm convinced Datel bullshitted about the American release of their Powerboard. If it was true, then how come it's not in Electronic Boutique's and Gamestop's database? It makes you wonder doesn't it?

it better not be bullshit, they charged my account almost a month ago, and if they don't send me my keyboard soo I think we should all get together and file a class action lawsuit and sue there asses for all that money they made by selling crap products to suckers like us =)

we should still sue them though if they don't send it soon!

Ralt I'd be up for that. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif Stupid rat 'tards charging people before they even have boards in hand to SHIP. What kinda shady business practices DO THEY have. I'd like my almost $30 back now just for the wait... It's really ticking me off.

I still haven't gotten my KB...I don't expect to get it over spring break either! >

Anyway, a lawsuit would be useless. It's overseas, I don't think there is much that we can do. A few people told me you can't. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime2.gif

I ordered my keyboard last Saturday from the site and paid extra money so it would be here within three shipping days. It's Thursday and still has not come, I'm starting to get a little impatient, it better get here by tomorrow.

Also, it was sent from Clearwater, FL. So, it shouldn't take to long to get to everyone.

I don't have a set price, just offer. But keep in mind I ended up spending 30 on this board after shipping.
