I must have a keyboard with dedicated volume controls...two hand keystroke for volume through a function key is a no-sell.

i bought a keyboard with a rolling volume. i'm trying to remember if there was actually life before this.

maybe you guys need to look past the 100y old windows player..
at least i havent seen a decent player (MPC/AIMP) that wont allow volume control thru mouse (wheel) or arrow up/down.

I want system volume control through independent keys with a mute button. I use them all the time when I play guitar or am in-game. Mousewheel and arrow key functionality is available within winamp, which is very old software.

You do realize there are many more programs that use volume other than a media player, don't you? What if they're playing a game, or viewing YouTube in a browser, or one of the other million things they could be doing? Will your fancy media player scrollwheel volume functionality help in these cases? No, it won't.

Trust me, you want an external volume control that doesn't control windows system sound, something like an amplifier, if the windows volume isnt turned all the way up it also degrades the sound quality.
P.S "Its anti-ghosting technology, implemented in the 19 keys that are most vital for gaming" fail.... those keys do not include the key "R" which is a must if you play mobas, at least the most popular ones.

while this is true, for me at least with what i use, its still hand to mouse to aim to wheel, where my keyboard has become an easy single movement.
i prefer it to the old way.

bleh. I have heard people talking about bit-depth reduction, digital vs analog volume controls, etc.....the fact of the matter is that testing that sort of thing just leaves you with nuance and any possible differences don't matter in a game of BF4 or with the guitar. The guitar is hard enough to normalize the volume as it is.

One of those annoying myths.
Setting windows output signal to 80% will avoid distortion and clipping that usually happens at 100%, and will more then compensate for any theoretical benefits of higher SNR.

I know, right?

I'm just going to necro this thread and ask a question regarding this keyboard:
Has anyone tried it?
I've been looking for a replacement keyboard for my logitech k740 (it doesn't support simultaneous W + CTRL + Space pushes) and I don't want any goddamn mechanical CLICK CLANK CLONK "gaming" keyboards.
This cougar seems to have scissor switches, so that's good.

My old keyboard had dedicated volume control buttons...I miss it.
