The best weapon for digital warfare!

Aptly named for the kind of activity it’s made for, the Hunter 1.0 is a keypad designed explicitly for FPS (first person shooter) games. Putting everything you need under the span and within the reach of your left hand’s fingers, the Hunter can be used along with your mouse to become your most effective gaming gear. Built with arrow keys, a space button, a joypad, and 8 more programmable mechanical keys, the Hunter puts everything you need right at your fingertips.

The Hunter 1.0’s bullet mechanical keys are designed to provide a tactile experience most gamers die for. Spaced apart to prevent accidental pressing, and designed to be entirely backlit, the keypad even comes with an anti-slip underside and even haptic feedback, vibrating when you fire or get hit, to provide an immersive, undistracted experience. What’s worth noting is that the design is great to look at, but the minute you begin using it, its aesthetics recede into the background and it becomes a hardcore performance device, providing only one true function… a high competitive edge!

Designer: Iaroslav Neriubov

Razer promises sneakier sneak attacks with $130 Orbweaver Stealth Edition mechanical keypad

That guard you just stealth-killed in Dishonored never heard you coming. But everyone else did. Which is why you might want to consider a noise-dampened mechanical keyboard of some sort. There are a few of 'em out there, not least the Matias Quiet Pro we reviewed last year, and now Razer has a keypad option solely for gamers: a new Stealth Edition of the original Orbweaver that came out in January. The price is unchanged at $130, as are the main specs and adjustable design, but Razer promises "silent tactile feedback" that provides an "entirely new feel," alongside a slightly reduced actuation force of 45g (instead of 50g). Perhaps your long-suffering colleagues will throw in a decent headset to go with it.

Slice Keyboard Replaces Your Virtual Keyboard With a Couple of Pies

If the typical QWERTY keyboard just doesn’t cut it for you, then you might find a worthy alternative in the Slice keyboard. Slice is rotary keyboard where users are expected to keep at least two of their fingers on-screen while they type. This provides an anchor point for your fingers, allowing for touch typing without physical keys.

Slice KeyboardDepending on the position of the user’s finger, rotary menus appear with characters that the user can access by tapping. It looks confusing and the whole concept sounds confusing when explained, so I’ll let this video introduction explain it for me:

The Slice Keyboard app is available for Android tablets on the Google Play Store for $4.99(USD). You can also download a demo version so you can try it out before you buy.

RIM patent application describes rotating keypad that can be used in more than one position

We've seen smartphones with keypads that can spin away from the screen before (see the Motorola Flipout), but RIM seems to have something slightly different in mind with this patent application that was filed back in 2010 and just published today. It describes a device with a keypad that's coupled at one corner, but which can remain operable in at least two positions, or potentially three. That could include a position, for instance, where the screen is partially covered by the keypad and a second where it's below the screen, or one where the keypad can remain below the screen both in portrait and landscape modes -- or even flipped behind the device with the keys still accessible. Of course, it is still just a patent application, so we wouldn't recommend pinning your hopes on this as RIM's next big thing.
