Razer Introduces Anansi Gaming MMO Keyboard
Are you a fan of World of Warcraft? How big of a fan? So much of a fan that you went out and purchased Razer's Naga MMO mouse? If so, this new Razer keyboard is probably right down your alley. The company's first MMO gaming keyboard is being introduced today, with the Anansi featuring seven ergonomic modifier thumb keys.
Like the Naga, this keyboard also presents gamers with an unprecedented slew of MMO functions and features such as dedicated thumb modifier keys and cutting-edge macro capabilities. Razer claims that the standard keyboard was just built for typing, and that this keyboard is well positioned for use in the gamer market. It also gives MMO gamers the power to instantly use up to seven times more commands and abilities over the current 12 ability keys normally accessible on a standard keyboard, not to mention over 100 fully programmable keys, on-the-fly macro recording, five additional gaming keys and the ability to customize the key backlighting from over 16 million colors.
It's designed to be used in tandem with the Naga mouse, and will ship this December for $99.99/ €99.99.

Razer™ Anansi MMO Gaming Keyboard to Feature Seven Ergonomic Modifier Thumb Keys Available Starting December 2010
Carlsbad, Calif. – October 26, 2010 - Razer, the world’s leading high-end precision gaming and lifestyle peripherals brand, today announced a new entry for its MMO Gaming product line, a keyboard that lets you Get Imba - the Razer Anansi. Sharing the same successful design philosophy as the world’s best-selling MMO Gaming Mouse, the Razer™ Naga, this keyboard gives gamers an unprecedented slew of MMO functions and features such as dedicated thumb modifier keys and cutting-edge macro capabilities.
“The Razer Anansi gaming keyboard is the new weapon of choice for MMO gamers,” said Robert “RazerGuy” Krakoff, president, Razer USA. “Let’s face it, the regular keyboard that came with your PC was designed and built for typing, not for MMO gaming.

The Razer Anansi allows you to use every spell, ability or custom macro in your arsenal -- both instantly and in complete comfort.”
Designed and engineered especially for MMO gameplay, the Razer Anansi gives MMO gamers the power to instantly 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 over 100 fully programmable keys, on-the-fly macro recording, five additional gaming keys and the ability to customize the key backlighting from over 16 million colors.
The Razer Anansi is also designed to be used seamlessly with the 12-button mouse keypad on the Razer Naga and Razer Naga Epic MMO gaming mice, giving gamers a supreme level of battle control and ergonomic comfort when playing their favorite MMO game.
