Create Your Own Keyboard

People who play computer games often have one complaint: the keyboard.  A computer keyboard is set up for typing, not for gaming, and it can be cumbersome when you're trying to get around an obstacle or switch weapons in your game.

If you've ever wished for a totally customizable keyboard just for gaming, today is your lucky day.  The DX1 Input System from Think Geek lets you stick keys wherever you want them and assign whatever functions you need.  The keyboard's background is also customizable, so you can stick in your favorite piece of fan-art from the game or make a map of which key controls which function.

There are two stationary buttons that can't be moved.  They control the keyboard's menu and let you input the functions for the keys. 

Best of all, you can input strings of commands for any key.  That means that if there's a sequence in the game that you repeat constantly, you can execute the sequence with just one keystroke. 

The DX1 works with any program at all, so it's perfect for that software you use often that is just too complicated to use with a regular keyboard.
