At a glance, Razer's newly announced Anansi keyboard looks like any other modern gaming plank. Ask Razer, however, and they'll tell you the Anansi is the world's first MMO gaming keyboard, and a perfect compliment to the company's Naga MMO mouse line.
"The Razer Anansi gaming keyboard is the new weapon of choice for MMO gamers," said Robert 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. With its revolutionary seven thumb modifier keys, every key combination that you had before is now multiplied by seven times. The Razer Anansi allows you to use every spell, ability or custom macro in your arsenal -- both instantly and in complete comfort."
Razer's Anansi sports seven thumb modifier keys, over 100 programmable "Hyperesponse" keys with on-the-fly macro recording, 20 gaming profiles with one-button profile switching, five additional gaming keys, customized backlight options, anti-ghosting, and a gaming mode that disables the Windows key.
The Anansi will ship in December for $100.

The Ideazon Zboard gaming keyboard had specially designed MMO keysets years ago, even before the G15.
Razor is and continues to be full of brown stuff emitted by the back-end of horses, IMO.

I have a really old Logitech G15 gaming keyboard with a little LCD screen. I know they've made better versions since then, I might try to get one for Christmas. I don't game too often, but it (and especially the little screen) is great, and very useful in a variety of applications.
This keyboard doesn't appear to have a screen, which is a shame. Otherwise, it looks pretty similar. The thumb modifier keys sound like they'd be very useful in WoW, so obviously they have their target audience and this would be the main reason to get this one.
