Razer BlackWidow Stealth keyboards keep the mechanical keys, ditch the noise

You know what's great? Mechanical keyboards -- what with their satisfying clicks. You know what's less awesome? Having to listen to that obnoxious racket all day. Razer claims you can have your cake (in this case, tactile feedback) and eat it too (blessed silence!) with its BlackWidow Stealth Editions. These are, more or less, the same boards that debuted last August, but with quieter switches and a matte finish. Both models are available now, with the same programmable keys and on-the-fly macro recording, while the Ultimate version adds "extreme anti-ghosting" to its already impressive noise pwnage. The standard model will run you a cool $80, while the Ultimate weighs in at a hefty $140. Check out the gallery below, as well as the PR and video after the break.

Hopefully it's brighter than the Lycosa.

And what are they doing about the tendinitis these keyboards can cause?

I told you that was caused by your online porn addiction, Chuck, not the keyboard!
In all seriousness though, I had the same problem with the Razer Lycosa keyboard I used.

The brightness?

When you have the WASD only on it's bright. But when the whole thing is on it's dim. It's like it's missing a setting.

Not the brightness, the keyboard causing tendinitis from using it

I just want a G-13 gameboard with an extra row of keys on either side, kind of the same layout as a keyboard, but for one hand, and comfortable like the normal g-13.
