Peripheral manufacturer Razer has announced a new entry for its MMO Gaming product line, the Razer Anansi keyboard. 

 

Sharing the same design formula as the world's best-selling MMO Gaming Mouse, the Razer Naga, this keyboard gives gamers a number of MMO functions and features such as dedicated thumb modifier keys and macro capabilities.

 

"The Razer Anansi gaming keyboard is the new weapon of choice for MMO gamers," said Robert "RazerGuy" Krakoff, president, Razer USA. 

 

The Razer Anansi allows players to use up to seven times more commands and abilities over the current 12 ability keys normally accessible on a standard keyboard. The Razer Anansi also features 100 fully programmable keys, on-the-fly macro recording, five additional gaming keys and the ability to customise the key backlighting.

 

The Razer Anansi is also designed to be used with the 12-button mouse keypad on the Razer Naga and Razer Naga Epic MMO gaming mice.

 

"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."

 

The keyboard will be available worldwide in December for the recomended retail price of $99 (around R700).
