Looks like it’s giving Logitech a run for the money.

I prefer to use keyboards sans wrist rests. The Osmium works well with and without its wrist rest attached.

Of course, as they say, YMMV. :)

To be honest, I think the angle of the KB in that photo makes it look even taller than it actually is. I’ve judged from other images on the official site (side view) that while it does appear to be a tad taller than the KB I’m using (Logitech G710+), it’s rather minor.

I couldn’t imagine using any KB without a wrist rest. For every KB that comes with one, it’s just been so much better with it than without.

I’m a bit doubtful about one aspect of this keyboard. How did it feel to game without the wrist rest?

Seems to me (especially from the last image) the keyboard is a bit tall for comfort. Making the wrist wrest practically mandatory for any game requiring intensive keyboard use.
