These are the Old Republic Razer peripherals you're looking for

Razer has announced that it will be producing four peripherals tailored for Star Wars: The Old Republic. The peripherals come packing the (ahem) sharp design that Razer is known for, along with a few slick technical features. The neatest of the bunch is the keyboard, which features a multi-touch LCD panel with a set of adaptive keys similar to those seen on the Razer Switchblade device. The backlit keys can even be converted to the Star Wars language of Aurebesh, which is neat, if not exactly useful.

The SWTOR Gaming Mouse features seventeen programmable buttons, twelve of which rest directly under the thumb. A 5.1 surround sound headset is also in the works. Finally, there's the mouse pad, which features "performance-grade" surfaces and a "non-slip, anti-reflective, abrasion-resistant hard coating." Presumably, you can drag a mouse on it real good. All can be customized to show either the Sith or Republic faction insignia as well.

The mouse and headset will run for $130, while the keyboard will command a hefty $200 price. If you just need something Old Republic, the mouse pad is the cheapest option at $50 but, then again, it's a mouse pad. All the peripherals will be available when The Old Republic launches, which remains as much of a mystery to Razer as it does to everyone else.

Check out pics of the hardware in the gallery below and a trailer after the break.

While these look awesome, I can't understand how anyone can justify $200 for a keyboard or $50 for a mouse pad... Just sayin'.

@Apsac D

Indeed.

$100 is my limit for keyboards or mice.

Shit my mousepad was $3... lol

@Apsac D
Because some people hate cheap soft mousepads that disintegrate 30 minutes into gaming. I love having a rigid pad that'll never dent, break, bend, or deform in anyway.. And BTW the Blackwidow is AMAZING!

@Apsac D

Why is everyone "just saying" these days?

@Anticrawl
Also, "I'll just leave this here" is getting old too.

@Levi

I don't mind that so much because it isn't used in speech. I hear people all day say something and end it with, "Just saying." and it really pisses me off. I'm gonna snap one day and pop someone after they say it, hopefully it isn't a boss.

@Anticrawl

Less hate. Just typin'.

For that price these things better be made out of pieces of the Death Star and give me force powers.

@PrimeSynergy The Death Star has always been horribly built. Cheap materials that can't withstand much. Did you not see Episode IV?

@thisredengine

If I Cheeto falls into the exhaust vent say goodbye to your new keyboard

Man that keyboard is all kinds fo sexy. But $200? i might have to stick to my logitech noob keyboard =(

200 for the power of the force at your fingertips? that ain't bad...

I'm not paying $200 for an old pubic razor :p

@Pure Black World Tendency

You can pay them 30 now, plus 200 when you reach Alderaan.

*Waves hand*
These aren't the prices I'm looking for.

@Hivetyrant Ridiculous price. We could almost buy our own ship for that!

I get that there is a very niche audience with the funds to blow on shit like this, but come on! $200 for a keyboard?

Did you all say this when the G19 came out too? Or how about the R.A.T. 9 mouse?

If your dropping $300-400 on a good video card, what's $200 on a keyboard that you spend every day typing on?

I doubt I'd trade in my G19 or RAT9 mouse for either, but I might pick up the headset if it really does offer custom sounds from the game that you woudnt hear without that headset.

We'll see I guess.

@Ashane I spent maybe $45 on a Logitech keyboard about 10 years ago that still works great. It's just multimedia but nothing fancy.

Then again, I don't drop $400 on a video card.

Tsk tsk Razer...Jumping the gun on SWTOR based on the hopes that Star Wars fans will gobble everything about it up. Being sensible, i won't do compare it to WoW sales or subscription standards. If an MMO can stay up and give those who like it a good time for a few years then it has served its purpose.

Besides the pretty images at E3 there'was no in game footage. No footage, no news on game mechanics, just CG. So its awkward an MMO no one really knows anything about already has hardware available in such a shaky genre.

@Negatron
What are you talking about? The lead writer even did a live stream of Tatooine showing a ton of in-game footage AT E3.

And people sure as hell will be dropping money for this keyboard. Its Star Wars for frak sake.

@cloned

Sorry missed that part of E3, and as for it being "Star Wars" the $200 keyboard and $50 mouse pad are utterly ridiculous. Star Wars Galaxies hit the scene and was remarkably bland. Star Wars has been used in and on everything to pillow cases to coffee mugs, not everything is worth buying for fraks sake. :)

Too bad the game is only on origin

@Timjoy
And retail box......

I will be getting a collectors box anyway.

numpad...where is it...I mean I get it it's a multi touch lcd screen...but I won't like putting my hand over there and not knowing where my fingers are at because theres no physical identifiers.

Just teared up a little... So beautiful... So 'spensive....

I never understood these customized keyboards. Is someone amassing a collection of PC keyboards like guitars?

"That's my Warhammer keyboard. Bitch'n. And that one...Old Republic. Don't touch it. I just greased it."

$200 for a keyboard?! That keyboard better come with a lifetime sub to the game!

The Star Wars geek inside me really wants this. I can't help it :'(

I REALLY want that keyboard. It looks loaded with nice features but, like everyone else, I feel $200 is a bit much for a keyboard. Maybe if I win the lottery.

I have a feeling the price has something to do with Razer licensing that image shifting key tech from that overpriced Optimus keyboard. Maybe they are manufacturing and pricing these so high initially to get the cost-per-unit price down before releasing the Razer Switchblade which features the same keys.
