Gaming FPS MMORPG Monster

Seems like FPS gamers get all the lovin’ when it comes to gaming keyboards. Here at ThinkGeek, we’re guilty of selling some fragilicious ones ourselves. But what about those dedicated MMORPG players… where’s the keyboard honey for them? Lucky for you the G15 Gaming Keyboard is sexier than a dancing female night elf… and a lot more useful.

The sweetness starts with an adjustable backlit LCD display. This allows you to see crucial game data without using valuable screen real estate. You can track in-game resources and set timers for game events.18 Programmable “G keys” can perform complex macros – like casting spells – with a single keystroke. Of course the glowing backlit keyboard helps with stealthy night gaming… no need to alert the whole household to your insatiable addiction.

For those few minutes every day when you’re not gaming, the LCD display can update you with useful system stats such as current music file playing, unread e-mail count, CPU performance and clock. Channels under the G15 Keyboard conveniently allow you to route cables for mouse and headset.

Product Description

The Lifestyle 38 DVD system advances a legacy of performance, elegance and simplicity with proprietary new technologies that make listening easy and exciting. The ADAPTiQ audio calibration system evaluates your rooms acoustics and where your speakers are placed. Then it automatically adjusts the sound to your room environment, ensuring consistent Bose quality performance. Now, consider that CD collection youve compiled for years. Why let it eat up space when you can have thousands of songs right at your fingertips? The Lifestyle 38 DVD system features the uMusic intelligent playback system to digitally store up to 200 hours of your music. While youre listening to your CDs, the uMusic system learns your preferences so it can automatically select and play the songs you enjoy. No menus, no playlists, no computer. All of this technology resides in one elegant media center, featuring an integrated progressive scan DVD player and AM/FM tuner. All Lifestyle DVD systems are equipped with Bose link to bring Bose sound to as many as 14 additional rooms, even outdoors. Simply add compatible Bose products for access to your entire music collection from any room in your home. You can choose from two audio streams in any of these rooms and enjoy independent volume control, as well. Direct/Reflecting cube speaker arrays stand just over 6″ high, but provide thrilling, enveloping sound for everything you listen to or watch. These small speakers work in concert with the proprietary Acoustimass module to fill your room with lifelike surround sound. The Acoustimass module produces resonant lows that add impact to action sequences and depth to musical selections. Just place it in a corner or behind furniture, and all the sound seems to come from the cube speaker arrays. Youll even enjoy more from your VHS favorites. Videostage 5 decoding circuitry and digital 5.1 decoding give you a 5.1-channel presentation from practically any source, including vintage TV and movies.
