Audio and USB Hub, with Dedicated Media Keys

When this keyset is combined with a SteelSeries Shift keyboard base (sold separately), you've got a keyboard designed to make it easy to plug in your peripherals. It also includes gold plated microphone-in and audio-out ports, as well as two 2.0 USB ports (one powered). Shift also offers easy access to Media controls, making it a convenient companion even when you are not destroying your friends and foes.

Record Multiple Levels of Macros

Personalization allows you to shift the rules to your favor. You can program every single key on the Shift through our advanced software. In fact, you can do this multiple times. That's because there are added layers to the Shift which can be easily activated through hotkeys on the base of the Shift. This means there is almost no limit to how much you can ask the Shift to do or how many times you can ask the Shift to do it. Illuminated indicators on the Shift quickly and easily indicate which layer is active.

On-the-Fly Layer Switching

The Num Pad and Function keys can also be utilized to access layers. Normally these are used for predefined tasks, but Shift makes it possible to apply macros to all of these buttons and in different layers to ensure that advanced gaming can be the main priority on your keyboard.

Record Macros Directly on the Keyboard

You can record macros and actions on-the-fly. You can start recording macros directly from the base of the keyboard and quickly assign them to 8 specific hotkeys with 3 unique layers--giving you an easy access to a total of 24 keys. The Shift will even record your timing and delays on-the-fly, making it as easy as ever to configure and personalize.

Improved Rubber Domes for Extended Lifecycle

Normal keyboards are built to offer a lifecycle of 1 to 5 million keystrokes per key. You know that it is not enough for even an entry-level PC gamer, who will use and operate a keyboard a lot more than a standard office-type user. This is why SteelSeries Shift was designed with high quality silicone, which boosts the lifecycle to 15 million keystrokes per key and ensures the lifecycle of the Shift is "Gaming Grade".

Enhanced Tactile Feeling

Basic operation of the Shift is comfortable, even for those really long gaming sessions. The keys on SteelSeries Shift are specifically designed to operate with a travel distance of 4mm, which is less than most standard keyboards. 4mm is considered the sweet spot for rubber dome keyboards, given it is faster, more responsive, and still offers a great tactile feeling during use.

Fine-Tuned Heat Spots

The Shift features carefully fine-tuned the force you need to apply with your finger to operate the keys. Some keys are used more frequently than others, both when gaming and typing. The keys you use the most, like WASD for movement in Medal of Honor, require less force than the keys you don't use as often.

Folding Feet: Tilt It to Your Preference

The Shift was designed with 3 different height settings. The adjustable, rubberized feet on the keyboard will ensure that you can operate the Shift at whatever angle feels natural to you to further enhance the ergonomics of the keyboard.

System Requirements

PC with 2 USB ports and sound card (for integrated USB and Audio ports), latest release of the SteelSeries Engine software, and Medal of Honor game. Works with Windows XP, Vista, Windows 7, and Mac OSX (configuration software available for Windows only).

What's in the Box

Optional Accessories: SteelSeries Shift Keysets

Shift the rules in your favor with removable keysets

Just like the original patented concept from the SteelSeries Zboard, the new SteelSeries Shift Keyboards also support interchangeable keysets. The keysets are extremely easy to switch, just pull the rubberized lever to remove a keyset and insert a new one. SteelSeries offers a wide range of keysets including the World of Warcraft Cataclysm, Starcraft II, and Medal of Honor editions. Designed with developers and expert gamers to provide players with an immersive, easy to use experience, to ultimately master their game. Critical game commands are grouped together, making it easier than ever to build, raid, frag or just simply...win. Keysets are compatible and can be used with both the SteelSeries Shift bases and the SteelSeries Zboard base (bases sold separately.)
