New Gaming Keyboard Borrows From Old Technology

OCZ has announced a new gaming keyboard product line called Alchemy. Its first model is the Elixir, which features 10 programmable keys and Windows Media Player controls. Its construction also houses old technology that makes it sturdier than most keyboards, guaranteeing a longer lifespan.

The first gaming keyboard in OCZ’s new “Alchemy” series features keys made from “100 percent rubber-coating for no-slip comfort,” according to PClaunches. And in doing so, the “Elixir” is taking a tack used by old Royal and Underwood manual typerwriters, which occasionally sported rubber caps designed to endure the relentless pounding required to operate the primitive equipment.

It’s compatible with Windows XP and Vista. For $30 USD, it’s not too bad, if you can get over the bland design. Gaming keyboards tend to be flashier than how the Elixir appears.
