Awesome peripherals are a trademark of gaming PCs, so it stands to reason that Genius would always have one on the backburner, ready to come out and dance.

The latest to make its appearance is called GX Gaming Manticore and is a colorful keyboard.

Well, colorful might not be the best term. After all, the keyboard is mostly black, with a bit of red on the sides.

What is colorful is the backlighting system, which can light up its three distinct zones in different colors.

Add to that the mechanical key switches, the 16 million RBG color palette for the LEDs, and the three special keys below the space bar, and you have a winner.

There are even eight macro keys on the left, for a total of 24 macros. A single press of a button swaps between setups.

Sales of the Genius GX Gaming Manticore keyboard have begun for $79.99 / €79.99.
