Razer has unveiled a new mechanical gaming keypad this week in the form of their new Razer Orbweaver, which is equipped with 20 mechanical keys and a programmable eight-way directional thumb-pad.
Razer has designed the Orbweaver mechanical gaming keypad to only require 50g of pressure to activate a key press, allowing you to execute multiple key commands as fast as possible.
Ergonomic Design for Extended Gaming Sessions
The Razer Orbweaver is fitted with adjustable hand, thumb, and palm-rest modules. Razer explains:
“The Razer Orbweaver was designed with adjustable, hand, thumb and palm-rest modules to let you customize the most comfortable experience with the keypad during marathon gaming sessions. Slide either part back or forth so that it sits under your thumb or cradles your palm perfectly, reducing hand fatigue, and optimizing ergonomic access to your controls.”
This ergonomic design is particularly beneficial for gamers who engage in long gaming sessions. The ability to adjust the hand, thumb, and palm-rest modules ensures that users can find the most comfortable position, which can significantly reduce the risk of repetitive strain injuries. This is a crucial feature for professional gamers and enthusiasts who spend hours honing their skills.
Advanced Customization and Performance
The Razer Orbweaver is not just about comfort; it also offers advanced customization options. Each of the 20 mechanical keys can be programmed to execute complex commands and macros, giving gamers a significant edge in competitive play. The eight-way directional thumb-pad adds another layer of control, allowing for quick and precise movements in-game.
For example, in a fast-paced game like “Fortnite” or “Call of Duty,” the ability to execute multiple commands with minimal effort can be the difference between victory and defeat. The 50g actuation force required for each key press ensures that commands are executed swiftly, providing a tactile and responsive gaming experience.
Compatibility and Software Integration
The Razer Orbweaver is compatible with Razer Synapse 2.0, Razer’s cloud-based configuration software. This allows users to save their custom profiles and settings in the cloud, making it easy to switch between different setups depending on the game or application. The software also provides real-time stats and heatmaps, giving gamers insights into their performance and helping them to improve their gameplay.
Moreover, the Razer Orbweaver is designed to work seamlessly with other Razer products, creating a cohesive and integrated gaming ecosystem. Whether you’re using a Razer mouse, keyboard, or headset, the Orbweaver can be synchronized with these devices to provide a unified gaming experience.
The new Razer Orbweaver will start shipping later this month for $130. For more information, jump over to the Razer product page.
