And a statistics area to see the hottest areas. It is usual to find the keys A, W, S, D but there are others that receive more keystrokes.

Steelseries shift is a special keyboard for PC gamers. The integration of custom skins is an attractive point for your purchase. We also have to highlight other features:

Integrated two USB HUB and audio input and output.

• Macro keys.

• Multimedia keys.

• Long USB cable.

• Tilt adjustment in two positions.

• Custom software: macros, hot spots…

As always we have tested with a wide variety of games, including: World Of Warcraft, Starcraft II, Left 4 Dead… We have loved the possibilities of macros and custom keys. Our World of Warcraft PCs thank us.

The Steelseries SHIFT is a keyboard to consider for the most demanding players. A pity that there is no Spanish layout. Because it would gain many sales in the Spanish territory. The recommended price is € 78. ADVANTAGE
