The latest in customizable gaming keyboards is now available with the Nighthawk X9 mechanical keyboard. The midnight black keyboard allows gamers to customize both the lighting and key switch of each individual key. Whether you prefer a colorful typing tablet or a standard red and blue color combination, the Nighthawk X9 can reflect your gaming preferences as well as visual taste.
To prevent the inevitable onset of video game-induced carpal tunnel syndrome, the X9 comes with a memory foam wrist pad that stretches the length of the keyboard while simultaneously comforting one's sensitive gamer wrists.
Perhaps the most impressive for those who prefer to assign their own hotkeys is the ability to create a total of 50 macros -- perfect for those whose keyboard is an extension of their body.
