I am a big fan of Razer gaming gear and use a Razer Lycosa keyboard and a Razer Lachesis gaming mouse all the time. Typically when Razer releases new gear, gamers in America are the first to get our hands on it. Razer’s latest offering is different and will be offered exclusively in China.

The Razer Aurantia is called an ultra-portable keyboard and measures in at 446mm L x 205mm W x 29mm H with the wrist rest attached. The keyboard has 104 fully programmable keys that are labeled in English. The keyboard has the features you would expect form Razer like the ability to record macros and to disable the Windows key.

The keyboard can store profiles for ten games on-board and if Razer holds true to previous driver features the profiles can change automatically with the game being played. One departure the Aurantia makes from other Razer gaming keyboards is the backlighting. Every Razer keyboard so far (even the Razer powered keyboard from Microsoft) uses blue backlighting. The Aurantia uses red backlighting, which is appropriate considering it’s a China exclusive. The keyboard will be available in China in mid-July for RMB 399 (about $58 USD).
