If you're into Guild Wars 2, SteelSeries has some nice branded products for you. Today, they are announcing the Guild Wars 2 Gaming Keyboard, which joins the headset, mouse, and mousepads in their Guild Wars 2 line.
The keyboard will set you back $79.99 and comes with a nice black, white, and red color scheme. The keys also have a red illumination to them and have 8 different levels of brightness.
To help you play, the keyboard has raised macro keys on the top and left side so you can get to them easier. For movement, the W key has small bumps on it so you know exactly when your finger is back on the movement keys. As you can see, the space bar is quite big so you won't miss it. The arrow keys feature an additional up-left and up-right key. 20 of the most common keys also feature anti-ghosting of up to six key presses at once.
All in all, a very nice looking keyboard and one that Guild Wars 2 fans should look at. Also for a limited time, you'll get the Guild Wars 2 Gaming Mouse free when you pre-order this bad boy.
