The keyboard will also feature Synapse 2, Razer's new cloud-based settings service. It can also display your Twitter feed, game information and plenty more. Beneath that, a touchpanel LCD can act as a trackpad and accepts several gesture motions. They're still contextual, meaning if you launch the calculator from one of the keys, they will then transform into more appropriate calculator functions. The first part of this is ten LCD keys that can be customized to gaming buttons or more typical PC use. The standard issue packs three backlit color options, while the bigger board adds in Razer's light-up Switchblade UI, seen on its first gaming laptop. They both plump for chiclet-style keys and the pricier (and larger) Ultimate felt both light and slim. Ready to accompany the accessory maker's Ouroboros gaming mouse (hands-on impressions coming very soon), the Deathstalker will arrive in Ultimate and Standard versions. It's pretty obvious from Razer CEO Min-Liang Tan's one-man presentation at Gamescom that he's buzzing about his new gaming keyboard.
