True gamers know only very well that in order to achieve perfection in this field, one needs the best possible dedicated hardware (besides his/her innate skills, of course). And one of the manufacturers of such pieces of equipment is the Hong Kong-based company Flexiglow, who has just announced the launch of their Cyber-Snipa Warboard programmable gaming keyboard.

Besides its very dangerous look, the Warboard provides gamers with a few features that might prove to be extremely helpful in fast-paced combat situations. Thus, the keyboard is accompanied by the proprietary Macro-Force software, which allows gamers to set the macro keys as hotkeys for any combination or sequence of keystrokes, mouse movements and mouse clicks.

Moreover, the Warboard comes equipped with five macro keys on both the far left and far right hand sides, making a total of 10 physical macro keys. However, the Warboard also sports a very important "macro mode" button, which, upon being pressed, allows the macro keys to switch between the first or second profiles, extending the Warboard's maximum amount of assignable macro keys to 20.

The gaming keyboard from Flexiglow also features a Windows key lock button whose purpose is to deactivate the Windows key, thus preventing the possibility of accidentally opening the Windows Start menu while in the process of gaming. Moreover, the Warboard also offers a full array of media hotkeys including volume up and down, mute, forward, back and stop, as well as a Home, E-mail browser and Find hotkey.

"The Team at Cyber Snipa has a long-standing, proud tradition of bringing PC gamers high quality, innovative, and unique gaming products and peripheral devices. The new Warboard gaming keyboard is no exception," states Gavin Bernstein, Director of Sales and Marketing for Cyber Snipa. "The Warboard will truly revolutionize the gaming experience. The unique Macro-Force software, removable custom keys and sleek ergonomic design all work to ensure a competitive advantage for the novice and professional PC gamer alike."

Cyber Snipa's Warboard will become available later on this year at a MSRP of around $69.99, which seems to be quite fair, considering what this device can do for users, both beginners and more experienced.
