Have a teenager who has blitzed through all his/her school assignments/exams and who is now permitted to get some serious gaming on? Reward them with the
Zboard USB Gaming Keyboard!
The
Zboard USB Gaming Keyboard is perfect for games such as Battlefield, World of Warcraft, Counterstrike and Guildwars. I saw this when I was in the U.S. last year and couldn't wait till they were in Oz. I liked how you could add game-specific components to it to enchance gameplay, e.g. there's a WoW keypad and Counterstrike keypad with all the keys you would ever need in the game.
Three Key Components Of the Zboard:
1. The ZBoard Keyboard Base
A Zboard Base has an auto recognition feature for any keyset you insert. There's no need to install any additional software. It is the brain behind the brawn. Just switch Keysets & Play your favorite games. The Zboard Base comes with these standard features:
USB Hub Your Zboard Base is equipped with 2 USB (BUS powered) connectors. This HUB supports low voltage devices (up to 100mA) such as mice, joystick or memory sticks. Now you can plug devices directly to your Zboard without the hassle of crawling down to your PC.
2. Hot Keys A set of nine hot keys launch common functions such as E-Mail, Calculator and My Computer or allow you to instantly return to a pre-selected destination, such as a file, folder, program or web page.
Multimedia Controls A set of 7 one-touch multimedia control buttons: play/pause, stop, next/previous track, volume up/down and mute.
3. Additional LED indicators In addition to the standard 3 LED (Caps, Scroll and Num lock) Zboard has additional 3 LEDs to indicate Zboard enhanced functionality (Pad Lock, Bar Lock and Enable)

As a Mac user, I can say two good things about Microsoft. They're great at PC games and they make great mice. I'm sure there's other great things about them, it's just eluding me at this moment. So when these two are combined, it makes for a great gaming mouse: the Microsoft Habu Gaming Mouse. Powered by Razer, this gaming mouse is one for the semi-pro to pro-gamer. But we're all pro anyway right? So I guess this one is for everyone. Quick sensitivity switching, fast response time, ultra-smooth gliding feet, all housed in an ergonomic body. The Habu is not for noobs.
