OCZ Releases Illuminati Keyboard with Color Customizable Backlight

comment Commentsprint Printemail EmailDeliciousDiggStumbleUponRedditFacebookSlashdot

OCZ has added a backlit keyboard to its Alchemy line of gaming peripherals, but this one comes with a twist. Unlike traditional backlit planks, OCZ's Illuminati lets users switch between blue or red LED backlit keys, erasing the fear that the decor at the next LAN party you attend might clash with your keyboard.

In addition to the user-selectable color scheme, the Illuminati comes equipped with rubber-coated keys, which the company claims will last for more than 5 million cycles. Gamers can also make use of 14 multimedia and internet hotkeys and a curved wrist wrest. What you won't find on the keyboard are any USB ports.

OCZ launched its Alchemy line last year in an attempt to offer gaming peripherals without the high prices that typically come hand-in-hand. The Illuminati is the third keyboard in the company's Alchemy series, with the Elixir and Elixir II having come before it.

No word yet on price or availability.

avatarThat is a rebranded Logisys

 I have the Logisys version of this keyboard, and I have to say it is my all time favorite keyboard. The wheel on the bottom right lets you adjust the brightness of the backlight (I keep mine all the way off). It has laptop style keys that are quiet and overall the build quality is really nice. The base of the is pretty heavy so it stays put.

Saitek already had multi-color backlight with its Eclipse II keyboard (blue, red and purple colors).
