Lay Your Hands On Me

PC keyboard technology has remained pretty much the same in its 30-year existance, so why is it that there are scores of new models coming out every year?  I personally have gone through the rise and fall of the first IBM "tank" keyboards, quiet keyboards, ergonomic keyboards, media keyboards, and the latest gaming keyboards.

What is is about a gaming keyboard that makes it stand out from any old "generic" QWERTY panel?  Razer thinks they have the answer, as they have released the latest elite gaming keyboard, the Razer Lycossa.

We previously had a brief hands-on look at the Lycossa when it debuted at the World Cyber Games 2007 in Seattle.  Since we only got to play with it for a few minutes, we decided to take a more in-depth look at what makes gamers drool when they play with this gaming peripheral.

With an awesome host of features, the Razer Lycosa is on an unstoppable mission to destroy and dominate.

Execute complex combat maneuvers with swift dexterity. Launch your assaults timed to perfection. Annihilate your enemies and reign supreme on the battlefield. You now have the tactical advantage on every terrain, and your enemies’ fates are in your hands.
