Zibal 60 mechanical gaming keyboard
« on: Wed, 20 April 2011, 05:43:53 »
Here what news i find today...

The Zibal 60 gaming keyboard is said to have a 50 million keystroke lifespan, a tough steel frame and wear-resistant laser-printed caps. The USB-cabled Windows I/O device benefits from non-tactile black cherry MX linear mechanical switches mounted on 18k gold-plated switch connectors, green LED backlighting with three lighting modes and multi-level illumination, and, unlike the Isku keyboard from ROCCAT, has a detachable wrist rest.

Media control keys offer shortcuts to desktop functions, and a dedicated Mionix Action Key provides access to lighting and media controls. Gamers will appreciate the six key rollover functionality which allows for simultaneous keystrokes across the keyboard, and the inclusion of connect through audio in and out ports and a two port USB 2.0 hub.

The 17.5 x 8.1 x 1.7-inch (444 x 206 x 44 mm) Zibal 60 will be available from June at a suggested retail price of US$149.99.

Green backlight wouldn't have been my first choice, thought I'm sure wanting to have a unique color had something to do with it. We'll see how high quality the construction is when people get it. At the very least, I'll give it the nod that it's fairly restrained in its design, no fugly "look at me I'm a extreme gamer keyboard!" aesthetics. And no silly macro keys cluttering it up.

One thing I wished these "gaming "companies wanting to get in on mechanical switches would do is offer it tenkeyless. I know some gamers argue they use the tenkey (I think mostly MMO players) but the gaming benefit of having the mouse hand closer to neutral, and more space to move around, would make a tenkeyless version more desirable for gamers. Also it would differentiate them from "normal" keyboards and make uninitiated masses more likely to go, "Oh, that's different, it must be what the pros use!"
