New Computer Keyboards For Your Typing Pleasure

Hello there,this time I would like to share some tips with you about the new computer’s keyboards. Here comes the three brand-new keyboards that are all worth to take a look at… and greatly recommended for you:

Type A: Razer Lycosa

This keyboard for gamers is slick as it gets. Completely black in color, with matte buttons covered with a rubber sheen that gives the button keys more grip than standard plastic keys. This Lycosa requires a quite amount of setup: 2 USB ports and 2 audio connections. Do you know why? Because there’s a passthrough USB and audio ports on the rear of this gaming keyboard, and also to power the backlighting on the keyboard. All the keys on the Lycosa light up, but it’s also dim: Unless you’re looking straight down on the Lycosa keyboard while you’re using it, it can be hard for you to find out what button you’re really pushing. Gamers can also set the WASD keys to be the only ones lit up. The Lycosa’s gaming keyboard can be just the thing for gamers who’re looking for that little tech-keyboard. Price= $80

Type B: Kensington Ci70

This oddly designed keyboard holds a secret or two beneath a sliding panel on its upper half. 5 user-customizable hotkeys appear to the upper left of this keyboard, but when you slide the panel to cover them up, you’ll reveal not just a single standard USB jack but a mini USB connector too. There’s also one additional standard USB port on the back. You can hook up your MP3 player or cell phone to the mini jack without having to fumble around for an adapter cable, and when the charging is done, that panel slides back to cover it up smoothly. The keyboard itself is an ultra-slim designed, closer to the latest Apple keyboard, and whether you like it will be a matter of personal taste. Some of you will probably love the Ci70. Price= $50

Type C: Das Keyboard Professional

In the past, the designer at Das Keyboard -Czech Republic made a new trend by releasing a keyboard that had no labels on the keys. Sounds weird? It was a novelty and popular among geeks factor, but they didn’t sell too well because of that (no labels on buttons). So, Das is back with a new keyboard type that has two impressive improvements: 1) Labels printed on the buttons. 2) It gets rid of the cheap membrane keys that is the kind you’ll find in virtually every keyboard today in favor of mechanical switches. When you’re using this Das, the keys don’t weakly mush down, they click. Typing on the Das sounds just like typing does in the movies. You also haven’t felt anything like this, either; it’s actually fun to type on. The bonus features include two pass-through USB ports and an extra-long 6 1/2 foot cable. It is not yet released. Price= $129

So, have you decided which one to buy?
