Folks living in the US and Canada, heads up! If you have been wondering whether there is a need for you to change your gaming keyboard after all these years of faithful service, where the keys are well worn to the extent where you can no longer see what are the alphabets printed on their respective keys, and the spacebar has started to act all wonky due to unusually excessive force distributed by your thumb through the years, then it would be prudent to consider a rather affordable alternative which caters to both MMORPG and RTS gamers (First Person Shooter fans will have to look elsewhere), in the form of the Genius Imperator Gaming Keyboard.
The Genius Imperator Gaming Keyboard is proud to be the latest addition to the GX Gaming Series, where it is touted to deliver customized control to gamers in the heat of battle. It will feature half a dozen programmable keys that are stashed under a trio of game profiles. This would mean the Genius Imperator Gaming Keyboard is capable of letting you assign up to 18 macros to get your game on. Not only that, the included User Interface makes it a snap for you to manage and customize your macros.
It must be said that once the macros have been programmed into the Imperator, you are then free to go on a spell casting spree (as long as there is enough mana that flows, of course) with but a single keystroke. Not only that, previously complex acts can be executed with a solitary press of a key with the right macro programmed. In addition, Genius knows how irritating it can be whenever you switch to Windows by accident during one of the more frenzied gaming moments as you press the Windows key, which is why when it is in gaming mode, the Windows key will remain disabled.
The GX Series Imperator will also boast of up to a 1000Hz report rate and 1ms response time for speedy performance, while on-board memory prevents APM (actions per minute) loss, so that you will have every available bit of tactical advantage in your virtual battles. Hopefully the braided, 6 foot long USB cable is more than long enough to play without experiencing a wired mess.

Genius has announced the launch of its latest product in the GX gaming line called the Imperator keyboard. The new product is a gaming keyboard aimed specifically at MMO and RTS gamers. I think the keyboard might appeal to gamers who are in into other types of games as well. Some of the features would be perfectly suited to FPS gamers.
The big feature is that the keyboard has six programmable macro keys on the left side that can be assigned up to 18 different macros. Macro keys combine multiple keystrokes into a single button allowing the gamer to perform complicated actions with a single press. The keyboard also supports gaming mode to prevent gamers from accidentally exiting the game by hitting the Windows key.
The keyboard supports three different game profiles and has integrated onboard memory for storing profiles macros. Other features include six different media keys for controlling media when you’re not gaming. Imperator has a 1000 Hz report rate and a 1 ms response time. That high report rate and quick response time means no lag between key presses and actions taking place on the screen.
The keyboard connects to a computer using a 1.8 m long USB cable. The keyboard supports Windows 7, Vista, and XP. It requires at least 100 MB of space and naturally, an available USB port. The keyboard has some nice features when you consider the MSRP of only $49. Many gaming keyboards cost more than twice that amount.

So you have given some thought to change your gaming keyboard after a few years of using the same old one, and since there are quite a number of different keyboards in the market, how about trying a brand that you normally would not have considered? I am referring to the Genius Imperator Gaming Keyboard, where it has finally arrived on US and Canada shores, being a gaming keyboard that delivers customized control for MMO and RTS gamers alike. The Imperator is the latest family member of the GX Gaming Series, where it boasts of half 6 programmable keys under 3 game profiles, enabling you to stash away up to a whopping 18 macros.
It also has its own User Interface that makes it a snap to manage and customize your macros. All it takes is a single, accurate keystroke to cast spells or execute specialized commands when programmed properly. In gaming mode, the Windows key will automatically be deactivated in order to prevent any unwanted departure (albeit a temporary one) to the Windows operating system. Would you fork out $49 for this puppy?
