We sit at our desks all day hammering away on (looks for the brand) plastic Dell keyboards, so we think we know a thing or two when it comes to keyboards. We don't, however, pretend to know the first thing about musical keyboards though.

Let's get the best bit out of the way first; it's a cracking looking keyboard with a sexy blue backlight, perfect for those moments when you're playing alone in the dark (not the game, that's rubbish).

A cool blue - imagine the Doritos packet - pulses up from your desktop allowing you to continue playing long after the sun goes down and you can't be arsed to stand up and turn the light on.

Microsoft Reclusa Gaming Keyboard

It's not just a pretty face though as the Reclusa gaming keyboard is powered by Razer, some pretty cool gaming technology. Probably the biggest feature for us is comfort. We type and play games pretty much 24/7 and the soft pads of the Reclusa put important things lie RSI to the back of our minds. Until we get to work anyway.

Official bullet points are thus:

• Blue LED Backlighting Ambient backlit keys allow gaming in low-or no-light conditions.
  
• Razer Hyperesponse Gaming Key Action Reduces key latency for maximized response.
  
• Two 360-Degree Jog-Dials One on each side of the keyboard for quick access during gameplay.
  
• Four Bumper Buttons Programmable buttons that enable easy access to common keyboard commands.
  
• Six Programmable Gaming Hot Keys Create and store different macros and keystrokes for each game profile - gamers can combine several moves with the touch of one key.
  
• On-The-Fly Profile Management Users can create and store Key Mapping and Macros for each game profile; keyboard software also automatically assigns different game profiles for supported games.
  
• Detachable Padded Wrist Rest Ergonomically designed for exceptional comfort.
  
• Gold-plated USB Ports Provides additional peripherals plug-in access with maximum conductivity.

The Reclusa Gaming Keyboard doesn't come cheap, but then again it's got a lot more going for it than anything you can pick up in Tesco during your big shop.
