Razer Orbweaver Chroma Mechanical Gaming Keypad
Razer, a world leader in connected devices and software for gamers, today announced the launch of the Razer Orbweaver Chroma, a customizable, mechanical, ergonomic gaming keypad that is specifically designed for tournament-grade controls and color synchronization with other Chroma-enabled devices.
Building on the success of the original Razer Orbweaver, the all-new Razer Orbweaver Chroma provides gamers with 20 fully programmable Razer Mechanical Switches; an eight-way directional thumb-pad; adjustable hand, thumb and palm modules; and now, with all of the beloved lighting features first seen on the Razer BlackWidow Chroma keyboard.
The built-in green Razer Mechanical Switches come with a required actuation force of 50 grams, ensuring that commands are executed as fast as users' fingers can trigger them. The thumb-pad can be used for movement or even as a modifier to enable nearly endless spell combinations, which can be set through Razer's cloud-based driver software Razer Synapse. With the Razer Orbweaver, gamers will be able to unleash a rain of spells, macros and abilities upon their opponents, all with incredible speed and efficiency.
"The Razer Orbweaver Chroma is the ultimate instrument of game control and style," says Min-Liang Tan, Razer co-founder and CEO. "It's a powerful feeling to have all essential gaming keys at your fingertips, without any distractions, on a device that offers absolute comfort."
The Razer Orbweaver joins other Chroma-enabled Razer devices, including the award-winning Razer DeathAdder Chroma and Razer Naga Epic Chroma gaming mice; the Razer BlackWidow Chroma gaming keyboard; the Razer Kraken 7.1 Chroma headset; and the Razer Firefly gaming mouse mat. All Chroma-enabled products feature 16.8 million customizable color options and a range of effects enabled through Razer's Synapse driver software. Razer Synapse also allows for inter-device color synchronizing with just the click of a button.
Product Features:
- Razer Mechanical Switches with 50 g actuation force
- 30 fully programmable keys including and 8-way thumb-pad
- Chroma backlighting with 16.8 million customizable color options

Logitech made one: The G13. By default it is set to be programmable to keys like WASD, but it can be switched to an analogue joystick. The G13 doesn't have mechanical keys, though. I'm interested in the Orbweaver, because it's easier to switch to other layouts than the G13 and I rarely use the G13's LCD screen. The Orbweaver, because of its mechanical keys, is probably more responsive as well.
I love the idea of these kind of devices. You use your left hand to control that little keyboard. Because your thumb controls the WASD keys, you have your other fingers free to press buttons. Your right hand is controlling the mouse as usual. I'm using the G13 for years now and play all my games using it.
The only time I'm using the analogue stick is when using some kind of vehicle. Choppers are great to steer with that stick and a mouse. However, not many games are supporting an analogue stick these days, so it is not that useful as you think.
This thing would be interesting if that was an analogue thumbstick... why hasn't anyone made a combo of keyboard and analogue stick yet?

I love these things. Have an norstromo and wouldn't play fps games without it.

As long as they have cloud-based drivers, I am not interested in their wares.
