How does this rather simple but aesthetically pleasing hard drive perform? Check out the review.

OCZ Alchemy Elixir Gaming Keyboard

The Elixir gaming keyboard from OCZ’s Alchemy series of keyboards makes its way under our hands and we give it a test to see if this keyboard is as good as those from manufactures dedicated to peripherals. This obviously isn’t OCZ’s dominating market but an interesting one at that especially coming from a company that deals primarly with memory chips.
