Have you ever spent what felt like hours on end looking for a decent gaming keyboard in your local computer store? I know I have. Keyboard after keyboard after keyboard. After a while they all start to look the same. Normally that's because they are. If anyone knows how hard it is to find a good keyboard it's me. After all, I must spend 4 to 8 hours a day behind one typing away and that's not counting game time. Over the years I've definitely wore out my share of keyboards so I know how important it is to choose a good keyboard that is not only comfortable, but built with certain level of quality that can withstand the abuse of gaming. Now find a keyboard that is all that plus includes great gaming features like programmable macro keys. While you're at it, keep the price down around $30. Impossible you say? Well OCZ Technology, famous for their high quality overclocking memory, has done just that with their new Alchemy Series Elixir Keyboard.

The OCZ Elixir Gaming Keyboard features a wealth of user-friendly features combined with an ergonomic and sturdy design. The Elixir features 10 tri-mode programmable macro keys and a pop-up menu shortcut. The keyboard has a sleek design to help maintain your comfort during long gaming sessions. Each key is 100% coated with a rubber membrane that I find to be one of the best features I've seen in a keyboard. As for quality, OCZ boasts that the Elixir has a 5 million cycle life, which is very important for gamers who use the same set of keys constantly during game play. Here are the features and specs in detail:
