OCZ Alchemy Series Elixir Keyboard

Virtual Hideout review the OCZ Alchemy Series Elixir Keyboard, retailing at under $30. There were a few minor issues, but it get's a positive review for a gaming keyboard:

Of all the parts of a computer, keyboards are perhaps the most sensitive to personal subjective preference. Most decisions on a CPU or videocards can be resolved with cold, hard facts, but keyboards choices tend to be very subjective. On the one hand, you have some that don't care about what keyboard they use, so as long as it works. On the flip side, there are some who are religious about their keyboard preference. I'm somewhere towards the latter group, having been using my trusty original Logitech G15 keyboard for the past 2.5 years.

Gaming keyboards certainly have their place as they typically offer extra keys and functionality that's useful to most gamers. However, they have also carried a hefty price tag, as we saw with the Logitech G15 Rev. 2, which ended up costing even more than the original. Today, we'll take a look at OCZ's entry into the gaming keyboard market, with their Alchemy Elixir Keyboard, which surprisingly retails for only $30 USD. This is certainly a nice selling point, but let's see if the low price has any affect on quality.
