Razer Announces Anansi MMO Gaming Keyboard

Today, Razer has announced another addition to their constantly growing line of PC gaming peripherals. The Anansi is a gaming keyboard specifically aimed at MMO gamers. It shares “the same successful design philosophy” as the Razer Naga, the company’s MMO gaming mouse. It features dedicated thumb modifier keys, as well as “the power to instantly use up to seven times more commands and abilities over the current 12 ability keys normally accessible on a standard keyboard. The Razer Anansi also features over 100 fully programmable keys, on-the-fly macro recording, five additional gaming keys and the ability to customize the key backlighting from over 16 million colors.”
The Razer Anansi will be available in December for $99.99.
That looks pretty beasty, but as it’s a keyboard specifically for MMO gaming, shouldn’t they add a LCD screen to show some information that might get in the way in game or to have health/XP details readily available? Would still have trouble buying this over a G15/G19.

@Stiggz – Adding an LCD display would obviously greatly increase the price. It’s already $100 as it is. However, I don’t think it would’ve hurt to add something simple like the display on the G15, but until adding an LCD to a keyboard becomes less costly, you won’t see a lot of keyboards like the G19 for awhile.
