[Engadget] Razer Deathstalker gaming keyboard announced

Quote:
It's pretty obvious from Razer CEO Min-Liang Tan's one-man presentation at Gamescom that he's buzzing about his new gaming keyboard. Ready to accompany the accessory maker's Ouroboros gaming mouse (hands-on impressions coming very soon), the Deathstalker will arrive in Ultimate and Standard versions. They both plump for chiclet-style keys and the pricier (and larger) Ultimate felt both light and slim. The standard issue packs three backlit color options, while the bigger board adds in Razer's light-up Switchblade UI, seen on its first gaming laptop.

Really Razr?! hahahah Still making crap and advertising as 'gaming professional L331 ubergear'... but this time they really pulled it off XD: chicklet

EDIT: I'd like to thank all the readers and commenters for making this thread possible. In a short amount of time this thread has grown to 250 posts and a many thousand views. I'm honored to have provied the community with such popular information. Thank you and see you around wink.gif

I really like the look of it, is it rubber domed?

Edit: Yes, non-mechanical. is wrong with these companies!

And i also do not like the gaps between the keys, but may get used to it.

While I like mechanical keyboards, my second favorite keyboards are laptop keys... so for those complaining about chiclets, they are hardly the worst thing to deal with. This keyboard does appeal to some people though, hope Razer sells a bunch so they can lower the price of my Deathadders some tongue.gif

Usually you have to lower them completely. They're a bit like the keys on a remote control but with a keycap over...

Edit: 250$! doh.gif
