Razer Orbweaver Elite Mechanical Gaming Keypad

When it comes to gaming peripherals, there is one name that would surely inspire confidence right from the get go, and that would be Razer. Here we are with the $129.99 Razer Orbweaver Elite Mechanical Gaming Keypad which will definitely help up the ante whenever you game. After all, if you still lose to your opponents after having the Razer Orbweaver Elite Mechanical Gaming Keypad in your hands, then surely there is no other explanation for your inability to break into the professional gamer fold (and hence, do keep your day job) other than the fact that you lack the relevant “gaming mind”, since the tools at your disposal are already at the very pinnacle of innovation.

What kind of goodies can one expect from the Razer Orbweaver Elite Mechanical Gaming Keypad? For starters, how does 20 fully programmable buttons sound to you? In addition, it is further augmented by an 8-way thumbpad, where that is accompanied by adjustable hand, thumb, and palm-rest modules. The main selling point of the Razer Orbweaver Elite Mechanical Gaming Keypad would be its technology that delivers a distinctive tactile feedback in the form of a light pronounced tap and click to your fingertips. Individual keys are accompanied by an optimized actuation force of 50g in addition to a reduced actuation distance of 2mm, allowing you to unleash commands and attacks without batting an eyelid, as your adversaries start to wonder since when did you have such blisteringly fast reflexes? With other features such as unlimited macro lengths, a backlit keypad for total control under dark conditions, and unlimited customizable profiles via Razer Synapse 2.0, you’ve surely got a winner here.

Razer Announces Orbweaver Stealth Edition

Razer Announces Orbweaver Stealth EditionAre you the sort of gamer who would buy accessories and peripherals that would give you that added advantage in a competitive situation? If you are, Razer has announced the availability of the Orbweaver Stealth Edition. Essentially it’s still the Orbweaver, albeit a much more quieter version, or so Razer claims. It will still feature mechanical keys, but for those who’d rather not wake their house mates or parents up in the middle of the night while frantically gaming away, this could be it.

For those unfamiliar with Razer’s Orbweaver, as you can see in the image above, it’s an external keypad with 20 different programmable keys that you can macro to your games. Basically instead of fiddling around on your regular keyboard, you will now have dedicated macro keys to activate abilities and the likes. It will also come with an 8-way directional thumb pad that can be programmed as well, an adjustable hand, thumb and palm-rest modules, along with the ability to instantly switch between 8 key maps. It is available for purchase via Razer’s online store. [Product page]

Razer promises sneakier sneak attacks with $130 Orbweaver Stealth Edition mechanical keypad

That guard you just stealth-killed in Dishonored never heard you coming. But everyone else did. Which is why you might want to consider a noise-dampened mechanical keyboard of some sort. There are a few of ’em out there, not least the Matias Quiet Pro we reviewed last year, and now Razer has a keypad option solely for gamers: a new Stealth Edition of the original Orbweaver that came out in January. The price is unchanged at $130, as are the main specs and adjustable design, but Razer promises “silent tactile feedback” that provides an “entirely new feel,” alongside a slightly reduced actuation force of 45g (instead of 50g). Perhaps your long-suffering colleagues will throw in a decent headset to go with it.

Razer releases $130 Orbweaver for single-pawed, mechanical PC gaming (video)

Razer

Belkin made gamer’s hearts flutter with the original N52te speedpad, which Razer took over a couple of years ago and developed into the Nostromo. Now, that peripheral-maker has taken the concept to a new level (and price) with the $130 gadget-tastic Orbweaver gaming keypad. Each of the 20 mechanical keys is programmable with unlimited-length macros, and produces a tactile click when actuated with 2mm travel / 50g of force — all in the service of max speed to give gamers the drop on foes, according to Razer. Also provided is an eight-way directional thumbpad along with adjustable hand, thumb and palm-rest modules, plus Razer Synapse 2.0 software for re-binding buttons and assigning macros. It’s available now for Windows or OS X, so if you’re looking for a way to get that tricky drop, roll and fire combo into a single, satisfying click, check the source.
