QPAD has introduced a new keyboard for hardcore gamers. Known as the MK-80, this mechanical gaming keyboard comes jam packed with state of the art technology such as individual LEDs for each key and switches plated with gold/silver alloy. What makes this keyboard more special is that its mechanical nature. Unlike your average keyboard, that functions through rubber domes, forcing you to press each key all the way down in order for the stroke register, the QPAD MK-80 features true mechanical switches with unmatched accuracy and feel. No more pressing cheap plastic bits with full-force in order to activate the keys. The QPAD keyboard will respond to your every move in an instant. Each key is built to last 50 million strokes. The QPAD MK-80 also has a two-port high-speed USB hub, a 3,5mm headphone jack, a microphone jack and a detachable wrist pad. The QPAD MK-80 mechanical gaming keyboard will be launched in May 2011.
