14 DAY TRIAL // As if specially MMO designed gaming mice and purposely built keysets were not enough, Razer went one step further when it comes to MMO gaming and built the Anansi keyboard, claiming this is capable executing seven times more commands instantly compared to a standard keyboard.
Designed and engineered especially for MMO gameplay, the Razer Anansi features over 100 fully programmable keys, on-the-fly macro recording as well as five additional gaming keys, all of these using an optimized matrix for minimized ghosting.
Furthermore, Razer also allows its customers to deactivate the Windows key while gaming, trough their special Windows driver, a set of multimedia keys being placed on the palm rest, under the space key in order to provide quick access to music and other media files.
Key backlighting is also among the feature list, Razer allowing users to choose between 16 million different colors, something that we not so often see in regular backlit keyboards, although it seems to have become a standard in the gaming world.
“The Razer Anansi gaming keyboard is the new weapon of choice for MMO gamers,” said Robert “RazerGuy” Krakoff, president, Razer USA.
“Let’s face it, the regular keyboard that came with your PC was designed and built for typing, not for MMO gaming.
With its revolutionary seven thumb modifier keys, every key combination that you had before is now multiplied by seven times.
The Razer Anansi allows you to use every spell, ability or custom macro in your arsenal -- both instantly and in complete comfort,” concluded the company's rep.
If all sounds just about right to you until now, then wait until you hear the pricing, Razer deciding to sell this for $99.99 US (or €99.99 depending on where you live), quite a hefty price tag if you were to ask me.
