For Gamers On A Budget: COUGAR’s 200K Gaming Keyboard

Let’s face a fundamental truth here: Gaming gear is often expensive.

Whether it’s that outrageously styled chassis, or that all-singing-and-dancing mouse with all the bells, whistles, and air horns, being a hardcore gamer would probably make your wallet wail like a banshee.

Thank goodness, though, that there is still gamers’ gear available that won’t necessarily a) make your bank account shriek in terror and b) get your sorry poor butt laughed out of the LAN party.

Take COUGAR’s 200K Gaming Keyboard as an example.

At ~$30.00 (from Newegg) it costs about the same as four McDonald’s Quarter Pounder with Cheese combos. Unlike that classic McDonald’s offering, though, it won’t kill you via chronic heart disease the more you have it.

Or maybe it would.

You see, there’s a lot to like with the 200K Gaming Keyboard, which means chances are good you’re gonna enjoy using it and therefore be relegated to a sedentary lifestyle. It’s not a mechanical keyboard; but while that might lose you some geek cred, you get a lot of that back despite the fact it’s equipped with scissor-style membrane key switches. You’re sure to score geek cred points for the seven-color key backlighting. You’ll get more cred back because the backlighting can be switched through one button press. And the backlighting also features a snazzy “breathing” effect, going off and on at regular intervals.

The 200K also scores with switchable WASD and Arrow Key functions. That’s pretty cool for you southpaw gamers.

The Anti-Ghosting technology in nineteen designated keys helps both right- and left-handed gamers, while FN keys also double as media player control buttons.

And don’t forget the rugged steel plate that’s at the heart of the 200K’s construction.

So, really, other than the big gamer gear premium, you’re not losing much at all with the COUGAR 200K Gaming Keyboard.
