The thought that this is supposed to be an entry-level product is ironic

You'd think that an entry-level keyboard would have little besides the basic frame and keys, but that's not what Speedlink felt when it made the RAPAX.

Then again, this is supposed to be the “low end” model of an entire line, so the feature set should, supposedly, seem modest compared to the others in its collection.

The Rapax keyboard somehow crams configurable red backlighting (still, or pulsating in 2 steps), five profiles, macro support (five macro keys), and single-key function configuration into a €29.99 / $29.99 price.

More importantly, the keyboard can do all those things without needing a driver. This is quite useful for when you go to a LAN game competition where they provide their own systems, but want to use your own, familiar hardware.

Sales of the Speedlink RAPAX keyboard should start soon, if they haven't already.
