First shown at CES earlier this year and more recently at CeBIT, OCZ this week officially announced the Sabre OLED gaming keyboard, a plank the company promises will be "affordable."
"The OCZ Sabre Keyboard offers the best of both worlds when it comes to OLED technology and a truly functional yet affordable gaming keyboard," commented Eugene Change, VP of Product Management at OCZ.
Nine OLED keys sit on the left side of the Sabre, each one user-programmable and capable of converting digital images or text into icons. Furthermore, the Sabre's proprietary software makes it possible for the OLED keys to change their icons and command tiers on the fly based on whatever application is running. Fire up your favorite FPS, for example, and the icons and macros change to whatever was programmed.
Other features include "glowing amber LEDs", blue side lighting, 128MB of onboard flash memory, "super tactile, low-noise key feedback," and a 5-10 degree tilt design.
No word yet on price or availability.

I've never been one to splurge on a keyboard no matter how cool it is. I mean, come on. It's a keyboard. All I need it to do is have comfortable keys that work when I press them. I'd rather spend my dough on video cards, ram or processors.

I'll bet you that it--just like all other OCZ products--will have a $35 MIR that will never be honored.

I'm gonna say it's going to be around the 150 to 200 buck range. And i bet it's specs are going to call for the use of 3 usb ports or a butt load of batteries to operate.

Affordable? Yet no price announced. Why do I suspect their idea of "affordable" isn't going to come anywhere close to my idea of "affordable"?

after using logitech's illuminate, i wonder if OCZ will make a slimer version down the road?
at least it will be more affordable than the Optimus Maximus Keyboard @ ThinkGeek

I want it just for the coolness factor of it. Looks pretty sweet even.
