Tesoro Technology USA Inc., announces the Lobera Spectrum mechanical keyboard, featuring RGB per-key illumination, 9 LED effect modes, instant recording capabilities for every key and USB pass-through.

The Lobera Spectrum allows gamers to individually customize virtually any color, to any key. With 9 different LED effects, such as dimming, full zone, trigger, ripple, firework, radiation, rainbow wave, and per key customized mode as well as 5 levels of brightness and 5 distinct profiles to store them. There are endless combinations for a truly unique configuration.



Audio Mode
When Audio Mode is activated, the LEDs of each individual key dance to the beats and bass of your favorite tunes.

Switchable N-Key Rollover / USB 6 Key Rollover
Allowing gamers to switch between N-Key Rollover (NKRO) and USB 6 Key Rollover, the Lobera Spectrum is immune to ghosting or jamming issues. A fast 1000Hz polling rate helps makes sure no keystroke is missed, and with instant game mode switching, users don't have to worry about accidental key presses taking them away from the heat of battle.

USB and Audio Jack Pass-Through
The Lobera Spectrum comes with a pass-through hub with audio/mic jacks and 2x USB 2.0 ports with a DC-in jack allowing gamers to charge their smart phones and tablets directly through the keyboard.

Instant Recording / 512kb Built-in Storage
Gamers are able to instantly program macros across the whole keyboard on the Lobera Spectrum. Profiles can be switched in just a couple keystrokes, and all the media keys are accessible with one hand. Built-in storage gives players the freedom to carry their preferences with them, even on different computers, preventing any tedious reprogramming.

Built to Last, Designed for Play
The Lobera Spectrum uses Kailh switches rated for 60 million keystrokes and high quality Costar stabilizers. Rubberized feet with tilt control, preventing slipping even during intense play.

Price and Availability
The Tesoro Lobera Spectrum is available now in North America at Amazon and Newegg for the suggested retail price of $149 USD in Kailh Blue, Black, Brown and Red mechanical switches.

how about they ditch the rainbow bs and make it out of actual metal (brushed aluminium) instead of just platics with a metal look.

Because many people like the "rainbow bs" and not many people want a metal keyboard.

Well, considering that now three multicolor keyboards exist on the market, four if you count corsair has two different models( corsair's k70 and k95, the blackwidow chroma from razer, and now this one) and that gaming laptops from alienware still sport multicolor keyboards and sell well, yet nobody makes a metal keyboard, I think the market speaks for itself.

Thats incredibly simple minded.
Nobody is buying it because it barely/does not exist.
With your way of thinking their would not be any change in the landscape of products because clearly nobody wants anything different because everyone is buying what is currently available.

Why go make Windows 10? clearly everybody is only buying Windows 7, 8 and 8.1 right?

"Just" the cover. I think it's perfectly fine. I don't want to imagine how difficult would typing on heavy metal buttons be.

Aluminium is not heavy man... and certainly not when they are hollow (aka made exactly like the current plastic once but just made form aluminium).
Also you are pressing them down, how does their weight have anything to do with you?
The only thing that needs to cope with it are the springs that press the buttons back up and yeah... that wont be an amazing technical feat to overcome.

The key type are good keys i have seen people hate them but i my self like them more than cherry's. But to get a keyboard like this gotta get some o rings to which will make the experience even better.

Is about time these company's added o rings as a option, how ever led lit keyboards stay away from rosewill clear as their a plain rip off and find they can be a little to thick.

BTW i have the Lobera and it's a solid keyboard, whats more bothersome is using their software and don't know if they made firmware upgrades better or not yet for these newer ones.
