CES 2012: Roccat Intros Isku Illuminated Gaming Keyboard

Author: Gabriel Torres Date: January 18, 2012 - 3:14 PM PST Category: Input More Info: http://www.roccat.org/Products/Gaming-Keyboards/ROCCAT-Isku/#crb_2 The German manufacturer, Roccat, is finally officially entering the US market next month. One of their most anticipated products is the Isku, an illuminated keyboard (with six different light levels) featuring 123 keys and support for 36 macros. Each macro can store up to 500 actions. In order to save space on the keyboard, some of the macros can be stored on regular keys of the product. It has a handy “rec” button for you to record each macro, and the keyboard literally speaks, telling you how to program the macros. You can store up to five macro profiles. The driver recognizes which game you are launching and loads the profile you created for that particular game, so you won’t need to reprogram all macros you had already created, nor will you need to manually load them from the hard drive. The Isku keyboard recognizes the Kone[+] from the same manufacturer, and you are able to command mouse functions such as macros through the keyboard. This keyboard has a polling rate of 1 kHz, a response time of 1 ms, and USB interface. It will arrive on the market next month costing around USD 90. click to enlarge click to enlarge click to enlarge click to enlarge click to enlarge Print Version | Send to Friend | Bookmark This News | Permalink | Comments (0) top

SteelSeries Launches the Shift Gaming Keyboard

Author: Cássio Lima Date: September 24, 2010 - 9:05 AM PST Category: Input More Info: http://steelseries.com/press/steelseries-introduces-the-shift-gaming-k... SteelSeries has just launched its newest gaming keyboard, the Shift. This product uses the same concept of another SteelSeries’ keyboard, the Zboard (SteelSeries has bought Ideazon, the manufacturer of the Zboard), which we’ve already reviewed. What is really cool about these products is that you can switch the keyset according to the game you want to play for better performance. Want to play World of Warcraft? Just change the keyboard keyset for a specially one designed for that game. SteelSeries offers several keysets designed for games such as Aion, World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King, and StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty. The new Shift keyboard features gold-plated microphone-in and audio-out ports, as well as two USB 2.0 ports (one powered). Media keys are disposed on the left side of the keyboard, and it has a rubber wrist rest that prevents slipping. Its onboard memory allows users to easily record up to three layers of on-the-fly macros. Every key on the SteelSeries Shift can be customized; players can record a sequence of actions (Shift + Alt + P, for example) and then map that sequence to a single key. It also features anti-ghosting capability, which allows up to simultaneous seven keystrokes. The SteelSeries Shift has a suggested price of USD 89.99 and includes the Shift Base, and the Standard QWERTY Keyset. The SteelSeries Shift Keysets will be sold separately for USD 24.99 each. click to enlarge click to enlarge click to enlarge click to enlarge Print Version | Send to Friend | Bookmark This News | Permalink | Comments (0) top
