Source:AZiO has announced its Levetron Mech4 mechanical gaming keyboard, just in time for the cavalcade of games about to hit this holiday season.
Its industrial design, complete with faux screws in each corner, may or may not jive with your style, but the Mech4's modular design offers customization on a whole new level. The numeric keypad and macro keypad can detatch from the keyboard and be moved to suit your style of play. As mentioned before, the keys are mechanical, but it's unknown if they will have that "clacky" typewriter noise accompaniment. Regardless, the mechanical key switch tends to offer up one of the best typing experiences, as opposed to the more standardized scissor switch.
There's a volume control knob on the top right of the keyboard and along the left side there are five extra macro keys, in addition to the six-key modular macro keypad. Other features include a disable function to the Windows Starter key, two USB expansion ports, and configuration software. The software UI allows you to create unlimited profiles and customize the entire keyboard in addition to the included macro keys if you so desire. There are little details as to how extensive the software is, and how detailed you can get when creating your macros.
The Levetron Mech4 is wired and only compatible with Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7 operating systems. There's currently no word on pricing, but it will be launching in October.
