At the Computer Trade show there were dozens of keyboards on show, some with secret compartments, some with glowing lights, and others with a durable, sleek ergonomic look, but how about a keyboard that will make your gaming experience easier?

We hooked up with ACCURATUS by Ceratech and had a gander at their product line which includes a range of gaming keyboard called the Zboard, and the first look at the new Zboard Fang, not currently in the shops.

Now the Zboard is so called due to its shape (see pic) Get it? It’s currently the only keyboard that offers swappable key sets. Whilst working or browsing the net you’ll use the standard QWERTY keyboard, but by simply unclipping this set of keys they can be replaced by one of the numerous gaming keyboards that are available. It took me about 7 seconds to change the keyboard over to the funky looking GUILD WARS : Factions set. I had a few concerns that they keys wouldn’t be stable, but the clip fastens tightly and feels stable. Unfortunately there were no games to try out the various key sets which included Lord of the Rings Battle for Middle Earth II, Doom 3, and Call of Duty 2.

It registers up to 7 simultaneous key strokes. You’ll also be able to download MOD files to programme this keyboard with your favourite game controls.
