Final Thoughts and Conclusion

It’s really hard to knock the Wolfking Warrior Xxtreme after using it. This keyboard is clean, responsive, and at least halfways well designed. It’s priced in a fairly standard bracket, and is readily available. It even has some interesting features. Really all we can do is run down what’s been covered.

On both sides of the board you’ll find responsive keys with solid tactile feedback. The WASD cluster is laid out in a fashion that provides your fingers with shortest route to the needed key. This aides in comfort by preventing you the gamer from having to contort your hand in ways that would make Gumby scream. The added features make the experience all the better, especially the bright cool blue backlight.

Unfortunately certain questions of usefulness pop up, especially when considering the right mounted single hand keyboard. The keys are in a layout that is unfamiliar, and not very ergonomic even after you’ve gotten used to them. This makes it difficult to use for text based in-game chats, the one thing t’s most suited for, and renders it to a button farm for macros and combination key bindings.

In the end, we’re really left reviewing what Wolfking claims this product is good for. They say that it should be good for FPS, RTS, and MMO titles. In reality, the Wolfking Warrior Xxtreme is a jack of all trades, and a master of none. Only one half of the keyboard is useful in FPS, and the other half in RTS. I could only find myself using this regularly if I found myself in the realms of Azeroth on World of Warcraft again. The keyboard is technologically sound. It just tries to be too much to too many.
