Razer Pro|Type Desktop ready to go



Razer announced the pending availability of their Pro|Type keyboard back in August. Honestly, we were wondering it was ever going to ship, and how much it would cost. Now we finally know.

This week, Razer announced that their battleship-sized keyboard will cost $130US and begin shipping today, April 6th. The Pro|Type keyboard features in integrated iPod dock, two USB ports, 10 programmable keys, media keys and 10 available "profiles," which we assume are for multiple users. If you're a real keyboard jockey with a yen for customization, this keyboard is for you.

I'm using an old Pro keyboard from an SE/30. It's huge, heavy, made in the USA, and has awesomely well-made keys. I'm using an ADB to USB adaptor to hook it up to the MacBook.

Nothing beats the possibility of hitting 'enter' with my right thumb while I mouse that the ordinary Mac keyboard has, specially if ya gonna have to pay $130. Altough a "left-hand" enter button would be nice…

No thanks. I prefer separate devices. $130 is on the steep side anyway, my preferred keyboard + an average dock totals $80.

I so much wanted this, last year! But after months and months of waiting, I went and bought the Apple wireless keyboard and the iPod dock in December as a little gift to myself. Sorry Razer, I'll pass.

@Crashead: I don't know... It looks a little like the S530, but not enough for me to call one a Photoshopped version of the other.

Anyways... It sounds good and all, but looks a little bulky for my desk.

Unfortunately, it still IS Logitech S530:Mac keyboard in the picture with wider border and iPod dock added :(
