PC gamers looking for a new mechanical keyboard should take a look at what Tesoro has to offer. The company typically names its keyboards after famous swords, its mice after weapons you can throw or shoot, and its mouse pads after shields. Tesoro’s latest mechanical keyboard release is named after King Author’s sword, the Excalibur.
“The Excalibur looks as good as it plays with 4 levels of LED backlighting with dimming and 5 levels of on-key LED illumination. Keys can also be individually illuminated,” the press release said.
The Excalibur’s specifications also include an anti-slip rubberized foot design to reduce slippage during heated moments, a 1000 Hz polling rate, gaming-grade mechanical switches with a lifespan of 60 million key presses and the customer’s choice of using Blue, Brown or Red switches.
Tesoro plans to launch this keyboard in mid-September for $89 on Amazon, NCIX, Newegg and Tesoro’s own website. This should be a good investment for PC gamers that are on a budget. Still, for customers wanting a bit more in their gaming keyboard, Tesoro has a number of alternatives listed here, including the Colada Saint, the Durandal family and more.
