Razer announces new Lycosa keyboard and Piranha gaming headset at $79.99 each.
Many ardent PC gamers will agree that one of the best gaming keyboards to come to market in the last few years is the Razer Tarantula. Today Razer announced its newest gaming keyboard called the Razer Lycosa.
Unlike the old Tarantula keyboard that lacked backlighting on all the keys, the new Lycosa gaming keyboard is fully backlit similarly to the backlighting on the Razer powered Microsoft Reclusa keyboard. Razer provides functionality to allow gamers to choose full backlighting on the Lycosa or to simply backlight the WASD keys used for movement control.
The key tops are rubber coated for non-slip grip and use Hyperesponse technology. Like the Tarantula, the Lycosa has mic and headphone jacks built-in as well as a USB port for powering other USB peripherals.
In addition to the Lycosa keyboard, Razer introduced a new stable mate to the Barracuda gaming headphones called the Piranha gaming headset. While the Barracuda headset uses surround sound technology, the Piranha makes due with simple stereo sound.
In-line controls allow for adjusting the volume and a mute button for the mic is available as well. The headset has a frequency response of 18 – 22,000 Hz, and impedance of 32 ohms and a 3-meter cable. The headphones connect via a standard 3.5mm headphone jack rather than the DVI connector used by the Barracuda headphones.
The Lycosa keyboard is scheduled fro availability in November for $79.99 and the Piranha headset is slated for October at the same $79.99 price.
