Razer, a leading manufacturer of high-end precision gaming and lifestyle electronics peripherals, has today launched its latest gaming keyboard - the Razer Arctosa™. Engineered with industry-leading gaming technology, the Arctosa gives gamers the competitive edge to perform faster in the heat of gameplay.

A lightweight gaming keyboard, the Arctosa’s slim keycap design features Razer’s Hyperesponse™ technology, designed to reduce key latency and maximize response for critical actions during competitive gameplay, ensuring fast, accurate and consistent responses.

The Arctosa also addresses ‘ghosting’ signal failure that occurs when you press multiple keys simultaneously on traditional keyboards. Its selective anti-ghosting around the WASD gaming cluster allows more commands to be entered at any one time without experiencing signal failure.

Additionally, the Arctosa’s macro-programmable keys enable a variety of commands and executions to be bound to the entire keytop, enabling efficient and lightning-fast responses. Its 10 customizable profiles allow storage of individual keyboard configurations for up to 10 of your favourite games.

While the Arctosa includes similar features to that of other high-end gaming keyboards, the focus is simplifying advanced gaming. Razer “RazerGuy” Krakoff, president of Razer, explains:
“While it includes fully programmable Hyperesponse™ keys with macro capabilities, customizable profiles with on-the-fly switching and 1000Hz Ultrapolling™, it does away with the non-essential ones like backlighting and rubber-sprayed keys. No-nonsense, no bling; this baby does what it’s supposed to do – allows you to perform better and faster in-game.”

The Razer Arctosa keyboard is available now from selected retailers, with an RRP of $99.95.
