Corsair's Vengeance K60 FPS Keyboard Is a Headshot-Making Monster [Keyboards]

Corsair's Vengeance K60 FPS Keyboard Is a Headshot-Making MonsterLet's rush past the part where we acknowledge that grabbing a keyboard with easily-replaceable WASD and 1-6 keys and an ergonomic wrist rest is probably overkill and get right to the part where Corsair's K60 keyboard looks to be a pretty wonderful brand of nerdy.

The K60 has anti-ghosting tech, which means that even when you're mashing a bunch of keys at once, you won't get glitchy responsiveness. And that's good, because it's got a pretty preposterous, unnecessary, and awesome 20-key rollover, so you can slam about a third of your keyboard at once, which is always useful. It also claims a 1ms reporting rate and super-responsiveness for double- and triple-taps.

As always, though, you should maybe be selective about picking this up, or at least showing it off at your next LAN party, unless you're good enough to actually make use of the thing—lest you be the dweeb with the expensive keyboard at the bottom of the scoreboard (like me). It's $110 and out now. [Corsair via HotHardware]

The Levitatr Bluetooth Keyboard Raises Its Keys On Command [Gadgets]

The Levitatr Bluetooth Keyboard Raises Its Keys On CommandOne look at the Levitatr and you would think the sleek accessory was an add-on display or a large touchpad for your tablet. But hidden within the glossy, black design is a full-sized, retractable keyboard with backlit keys.

Besides its elevating keys, the bluetooth accessory has an anodized aluminum chassis and includes a kickstand for holding your tablet. It's a slightly beefy 12.5mm thick, but that extra bulk is needed to provide room for the movable keys.

The keyboard is still in the prototype stage, but you can reserve a unit via Kickstarter. Pricing starts at $79, but you can give as little as $1 just to take part in the final design of the device. [Levitatr via Technabob]

Celluon virtual laser keyboard also has sound

by Mark R - on August 17th, 2011

I never thought that I could get used to those laser-powered virtual projection keyboards. While I think it would be handy to pair a device with something that would create a keyboard on any flat surface, I need the haptic feedback of the clickity-click of the keyboard.

I know that I should just evolve out of this, because touchscreen keyboards are quiet, and I think we are moving away from traditional button keyboards. Fortunately, I can wait a little while to get over my fascination with keyboard sounds as the Cube Laser Virtual Keyboard comes with gesture recognition software so that the user can hear the click to indicate control gestures as well as keystrokes.

In addition to this feature, the Cube Laser Virtual Keyboard has a very liquid interface for its laser projection, so the image of the keys is much better than before. It pairs with devices via Bluetooth, which means that it is compatible with most smartphones, tablets, and even laptops.

I suppose that I wouldn’t mind having one of these for myself, but I just tried tapping my fingers on my desk for a few seconds, and it wasn’t the same as typing on a keyboard. However, if this is for you, then head over to ThinkGeek and lay down about $170 for it.
