COUGAR Launches 200K Gaming Keyboard

The 200K is the best choice of its segment due to its compact and durable design, that also offers a quality feeling unseen until now in non-mechanical keyboards. Its anti-ghosting technology, implemented in the 19 keys that are most vital for gaming, ensures perfect accuracy when gaming, and the implemented extra functions (media controls, brightness adjustment and more) are implemented in a non-intrusive way. This means the 200K is able to maintain the standard keyboard layout, altering it in only two keys, one for backlight control and another one to activate the secondary functions for keys.

In what is another extra specially designed for gamers, the 200K allows to switch the functionality of the WASD keys and the direction keys, which is especially useful for left handed users or for those who for any other reason might want to adjust in this way the keyboard layout. Finally, the possibility of adjusting the repeat rate will become helpful when facing games that require repeatedly pressing a specific key. The final touch comes from its durable and sturdy build: The 200K's weight and its anti-slip rubber feet ensure it stays stable and give it a quality feel that sets it apart from the light weight and instability of most membrane and scissor switch keyboards of the market.
All those features come packed in an elegant design in line with the high standards COUGAR sets for its products, with a hairline style surface and an elegant 7 color backlight both for the keys and for the front of the keyboard that can be controlled through the dedicated backlight key. This design also includes an option to, through a key combination, activate the breathing effect of its backlight, creating an impressive visual effect. COUGAR 200K has already been acclaimed by pro gamers.

It's been out here in Australia for a couple of months now. I tried one out in a shop just because I thought all the marketing jargon was, well, jargon. Much to my surprise the feel of it is really nice and the build quality is absolutely outstanding, especially for a non-mech keyboard. The scissor switches were very precise with shallow travel which I don't mind. The keys don't wobble either which is great.

Prices here are around $35-$40AUD. So I'd say expect $25-$35USD over in the US.

Yes but you gotta hate a caps lock like that, although seems to be a common thing now and the shit annoys me no end.

What's wrong with the Caps Lock key? Is it that it isn't '2 levels' like what used to be common several years ago?

Yep, for $30 it seems to be a pretty sweet little keyboard.

What annoys me more is the color scheme: Black + Orange.

According to this poll, Black + Blue are far more popular. Probably they are not doing polls. :shadedshu:

Ya don't have to settle for "orange" as there are 7 different back light colors. :wtf:

yup, i am sick of hitting the dam thing all the time, thought i would get used to it but it's been a over a year now and they still piss me off lol.

Whats wrong with the idea being old, it was a good idea which apparently a lot of company's for get some shit should not change as it was perfect before they screwed with it.

Actually the LShift is gigantic on this one. On Logitech UltraX it's smaller than CapsLock...
