Razer's Tarantula Gaming Keyboard

From the popular gaming hardware developers, Razer, comes yet another gaming device, Tarantula gaming keyboard. Razer has been working on the Tarantula, a gaming keyboard, since its debut at CES back in January. The Tarantula is a fully programmable keyboard wherein you can assign certain functions to a key or just disable the key. There is also complete macro functionality; any kind of macros can be bound to the outside keys on the left and right. All this customization is possible using Razer's software.



Razer has developed new technologies for the keyboard to facilitate gamers, namely Anti-Ghosting and Hyperesponse. Anit-Ghosting prevents the keys from jamming due to multiple inputs and Hyperesponse reduces the key-press latency down to supposedly 1ms-response time. There is no backlighting because of the features mentioned above. But the Tarantula is equipped with a mini lamp attached above the "F" keys. Also included are five programmable profile settings that change on the fly according to the game; a microphone, headphone, and USB ports. The Tarantula is expected to be in stores by August for $99.
