Back in October, we brought you information about a peripheral that Func was going to release before the year was out, and now we can safely say that the KB-460 Mechanical Gaming keyboard is finally up for sale.

The keyboard bears all the hallmarks of a successful, high-end gaming peripheral, from the detachable palm rest to the full N-key roll over anti-ghosting.

But we are getting ahead of ourselves. First, we may as well say that this is the sort of keyboard that hardcore gamers will drool over.

The Cherry MX Red mechanical switches beneath each key are one of the reasons, granting both good tactile response and long life (up to 50 million strokes per key).

Another asset is the aforementioned full N-key roll over anti-ghosting, which prevents the computer or keyboard from choking if more than a few keys are pressed at the same time.

Another important advantage over most other keyboards, and even some gaming ones, is the customizable backlight key illumination. You can adjust brightness according to your own tastes.

Then there's the ability to re-assign keys and disable the Windows logo button during games, to avoid accidental game minimizing during fast-paces shooters or strategy sessions.

There are other features, of course, like that detachable palm rest we mentioned before and two USB connect-through ports (allowing other USB devices to connect to the PC through it).

That leaves the Func key, which can deactivate or activate your pre-assigned keys and disable the Windows logo at the same time. Basically, it's a sort of “Game On” button.

"We are working hard to create a complete range of gaming products with interesting features, designed for an enhanced gaming experience" says Calle Conradsson, brand manager for Func.

"What makes the KB-460 unique is the combination of functionality and superb build quality. We are extremely proud with the result and glad to say that there is more to come from us!"

The price of the Func KB-460 gaming keyboard is $99.95 / €99.95.
