I’ve been a PC gamer for a long time and one of my favorite gaming keyboards was made by Razer. Razer has unveiled a new gaming keyboard called the DeathStalker Ultimate, and it’s one of the coolest keyboards I’ve ever seen. Rather than having a questionably useful number pad on the right-hand side, this thing gets a touchscreen and customizable buttons.

The keyboard features the Razer Switchblade User Interface that we first saw on the awesome Switchblade portable gaming device. The Switchblade UI allows the touchscreen and 10 buttons above the screen to have custom programmable icons. The screen can also switch modes depending on what you’re doing at a particular time.

Razer offers a special interface for Star Wars: The Old Republic that has custom keys and uses that LCD panel to show a special application for adding control to your game. That panel also functions as a multitouch track pad with support for gestures and more. There are a number of apps available for that LCD panel.

The apps include a track pad, number pad, macro recorder, gaming mode, browser, YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, Gmail, clock, screenshot, and a game timer. There are enough apps to let you do just about anything you want using that touchscreen. The keyboard also features anti-ghosting technology allowing you to hit up to 10 keys at once in game mode. All keys are backlit as well for gaming in the dark. The keyboard will launch in September for $249.99, and I want one.

Now here is a gaming keyboard that you might want to consider getting if you are up for a jolly good time – the Razer DeathStalker Ultimate which will feature dynamic adaptive tactile keys. What makes the Razer DeathStalker Ultimate so special? For starters, it will come with Razer’s award-winning Switchblade User Interface (UI), sporting a customizable LCD trackpad and LED keypad combo that was first announced on the Razer Switchblade concept, and is in production at the moment on the Razer Blade gaming laptop and the Star Wars: The Old Republic gaming keyboard.

Thanks to this special interface, it has turned your gaming keyboard into a full customizable control panel complete with 10 dynamic, adaptive tactile keys which is useful in binding commands, macros, skills and spells so that you can enjoy an unparalleled in-game competitive advantage. These keys are able to display any image thanks to Razer’s Synapse 2.0 software, making this just about the smartest keyboard on the market. The asking price for such an exquisite gaming keyboard? Those living Stateside will have to fork out $249.99, while your friends who live across the pond will have to settle for a €249.99 price tag when the Razer DeathStalker Ultimate gaming keyboard arrives later this September 2012.

It’s pretty obvious from Razer CEO Min-Liang Tan’s one-man presentation at Gamescom that he’s buzzing about his new gaming keyboard. Ready to accompany the accessory maker’s Ouroboros gaming mouse (hands-on impressions coming very soon), the Deathstalker will arrive in Ultimate and Standard versions. They both plump for chiclet-style keys and the pricier (and larger) Ultimate felt both light and slim. The standard issue packs three backlit color options, while the bigger board adds in Razer‘s light-up Switchblade UI, seen on its first gaming laptop. The first part of this is ten LCD keys that can be customized to gaming buttons or more typical PC use. They’re still contextual, meaning if you launch the calculator from one of the keys, they will then transform into more appropriate calculator functions. Beneath that, a touchpanel LCD can act as a trackpad and accepts several gesture motions. It can also display your Twitter feed, game information and plenty more. The keyboard will also feature Synapse 2, Razer’s new cloud-based settings service. The CEO explained that a player’s custom layout and profile for the ‘board could be stored online and then accessed from any computer it’s plugged into, ready for your next (online) fight. Get our first impressions after our gallery and the break.

Both the players and fans will get to wear the CLG banner on their peripherals with pride.” Those who are interested can pick up the Counter Logic Gaming Razer Goliathus and Razer DeathAdder e-Sports Edition from Razerzone.com and clgaming.net.
