The Force is strong in the 'Star Wars: The Old Republic' keyboard seen at the 2012 CES (Consumer Electronics Show).
The Old Republic keyboard brings next generation gaming to your finger tips. The company Razer made the keypad, and is being showcased at the 2012 Consumer Electronics Showcase in Vegas. This finger-flexing keyboard features mass customization, from everything such as hot keys to a gesture input worthy of Darth Vader himself. This year’s focus at CES seems to revolve around morphing sci-fi fantasy with reality. The Keyboard is larger than a regular desktop product to allow for a side LCD screen which lights up with excitement and becomes the perfect sidekick. Further features include, but are not limited to, anti-ghosting of up to ten keys, ten dynamic adaptive tactile keys, a multi-touch LCD track panel, and Star Wars-themed aesthetics.
