I really like my CM Storm Trigger. Now it is a gaming keyboard, but the only extra "frills" you would notice are a few extra keys on the left side. Mechanical keyboards are extremely high quality, and this one is no joke. For a dispatcher you would probably want the Cherry MX Blue switches, the have a bit more feedback and are better for typing. I can guarantee your dispatchers would love you forever if you got them this keyboard.
In case you aren't familiar with the mechanical keyboard lingo. The various coloring of the switches indicates how the keystroke works. Blue is really "clicky", red is a smooth action with no click, and brown is somewhere in between.
I got mine on amazon.com:

I'll be playing with:
Also have a 3D monitor and glasses if I feel inclined to play GW2 in 3D, though after having tried it during recent stress tests, I'm not sure I will.

On the subject of peripherals, if anyone is browsing through these posts trying to get ideas on future purchases:
Razer products: Use caution and make informed decisions before buying them. With Razer, most of the time you're paying for the brand name more than anything. Their quality control is known to be really shoddy compared to other brands. Their mice and the Nostromo are typically good (though even then, my first DeathAdder mouse was faulty and had to be RMA'd), but everything else is average at best, faulty and unreliable at worst. I was looking into buying a Blackwidow in my mechanical keyboard search this month, but decided against it in the end because there were simply far too many reports of faulty, flimsy, or otherwise broken parts (both out of the box or down the line) for me to buy with confidence. Bottom line, do your research on the likes of Google, Amazon and Newegg reviews, etc. before making a purchase. Not even just with Razer products, but anything you ever plan on investing significant money into.
Mechanical keyboards: They're a really great investment if you're in the market for a keyboard and can fit them in the budget. They're a lot more pricey, but you really get what you pay for with these. Mechanical keys are an absolute pleasure to type and game on compared to the cheap membrane keys which are standard today. These keyboards provide great tactility, feedback, accuracy, and are made to last far, far longer than your standard keyboard.
Audio Peripherals: First of all, do not buy gaming headsets. Once again, you're paying a lot more for the brand and the title of "gaming headset" than the actual product quality. Frankly, most (if not all) gaming headsets' quality and audio fidelity are downright poor in comparison to dedicated headphones that you can get for the same or lesser price. The best thing to do if you want to get the most bang for your buck is to buy a nice pair of headphones, and if you're dead-set on having an attached mic, invest into something like the ModMic or mod one on yourself.
Really I added it from http://www.amazon.com/Cooler-Master-Storm-Trigger-SGK-6000-GKCM1-US/dp/B007TFOO6K/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1348455527&sr=8-1&keywords=storm+trigger and it was still 95.00.
Not that I'm trying to prove you wrong I'm actually interested in the keyboard and if I can find it cheaper that would be nice.
Nah, this one: http://www.amazon.com/Cooler-Master-Storm-Trigger-SGK-6000-GKCM1-US/dp/B007TFOO6K/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1348580868&sr=8-1&keywords=storm+trigger
Devastator is an "advanced membrane" gaming keyboard. I checked Devastator II but it doesn't have macros.
The ones with macros is the old CM called Trigger Z but it's not available in Brown but Cherry Blue.

The original Trigger is available with Brown and macros, but not sure if you want to go that old.
