Razer today shared some details on its special gaming keyboard that it will roll out specially for Star Wars: The Old Republic game.
The stand-out is an LCD track-panel that can display information as well as accept multi-touch input. There will also special buttons dedicated to macros, as well as programmable keys.

The keys themselves are of the "slim cap" Chiclet style and feature gold (yellow) backlighting. For the added bling, there's also a changeable lighting system to remind you if you're on the Dark or Light side.
It looks pretty great, so all you need to decide if it's worth your $200.
Marcus Yam served as Tom's Hardware News Director during 2008-2014. He entered tech media in the late 90s and fondly remembers the days when an overclocked Celeron 300A and Voodoo2 SLI comprised a gaming rig with the ultimate street cred.
if that track pad can be customized, like i put a custom picture on it, and than macro off the things inside the picture, than it has a day 1 buy for me, couldn't give a crap about the old republic, but the tech for the macro gave me some hope, even though i think that razor blows at macro things (i have a naga, and a saitek 2500 game pad... the saitek has SO much better macro interface that its not even funny. the naga is such a pain in the a$$ to program i dont even bother with it, i set it up to do every command i need for chrome and fire fox, and thats all i am willing to program even though i have SO many other things i could use a 12 button pad for.
