Or at least that’s what you think. This might look like a fancy keyboard at first glance, but its abilities are definitely more than just skin deep. The Cyber Snipa Warboard comes with a whole bunch of programmable keys that it will definitely overwhelm the newbie when he/she first lay eyes on it. With 10 assignable macro keys located at either end of the keyboard in an even spread along with 10 keys made available whenever “macro mode” is toggled, you get 20 keys of sheer power, limited only by your mind and how do you want to program them. Programming is made pretty easy thanks to the Warboard’s Macro Force software, so you don’t need to be a rocket scientist before getting started.

A grand total of 17 swappable combat keys are used to specify controls we take for granted on a vanilla keyboard, including movement directions, weapon selection, reloading, chat, and others. While battle hardened veterans won’t give two hoots about the picture labels located on each of these combat keys, beginners will definitely find the references useful, especially when getting used to a new game where all the weapons are still pretty much mucked. Gamers are often well known for wearing down their hardware pretty quickly, so it would be comforting to know that additional Warboard combat keys can be picked up in the near future should the need arise due to unforeseen circumstances.

Currently, the Cyber Snipa Warboard seems geared towards the FPS genre, but I’m sure the macro functions on the other keys will definitely set tongues wagging among fans of other genres. You can pick up the Cyber Snipa Warboard for $69.99 a pop. Each purchase comes with the keyboard itself in an armor plate finish, a full set of tactile keys complete with 10 multimedia keys, and the neat ability to render the Windows key impotent at the push of a button.
