Razer has revealed what they’re calling the “world’s first optical keyboard designed for gaming laptops,” which is the highlight of their new line of fifteen inch gaming laptops.

The all-new Razer Blade 15 gaming laptop comes with their next-generation optical switches, meaning every single key has a small optical laser that provides near-instant key actuation, practically eliminating all of the signal noise you can get with traditional keyboards.

The optical keyboard also features the N-Key Rollover (NKRO) with anti-ghosting, further reducing the number of errors you could get with a traditional keyboard and mechanical or physical contact switches.

While their Razer Blade 15 line of laptops start at $1599.99 (with the current sale), the new optical laptop keyboard is currently available only in the Razer Blade 15 Advanced for $2,649.99, with more models to come in 2020. You can pick the new laptop up via Razer.com and select retailers in the U.S., Canada and China. It’s also coming soon to select countries in Asia-Pacific region.

Lastly, Razer announced a Quartz Pink color option, which is exclusive to the Razer Blade 15 Base model with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 graphics card. This model has the same body style as the other Razer Blade 15 models, only with a bright and anodized pink finish. The keyboard is also Quartz Pink, and the Chroma RGB lighting can be swapped for pink too.
