With ring in hand, it was a bit easier to enjoy the keyboard, yet overall I found the keyset somewhat lackluster. It's far from being an Age of Conan essential. Some of the features of the keyset are mildly useful, with only a slight advantage for beginner players who haven't yet familiarized themselves with the in-game commands. The built-in emote macros offer a bit of value to the keyset, but not much. Buying a new Z-board specifically for Age of Conan would, in this reviewer's opinion, be wasteful. But if you already have a Z-board, the Age of Conan keyset may be worth the value to you, mainly for the in-game ring you receive.
