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
