Gigabyte is going to make its entry in the gamer peripheral market with a mechanical gaming keyboard. The non-click Cherry MX-linear keys will have a life cycle of 60 million keystrokes.

It does have a lot of features but to summarize some of the features – it has 10 programmable gaming hotkeys that supports up to 103 customizable profiles. These profiles are also able to be setup and changed with the included 512KB onboard memory through the GHOST Engine software suite. If that is not enough for you, the GK-K8000 even includes the C-Media 6300 single audio chip for USB stereo audio for microphone in & earphone out.

The Gigabyte GK-K8000 keyboard will be available by the end of April. Am I the only one who thinks that's a butt ugly looking device though ?
