While 3D displays are hardly a new concept, it seems that makers of computer components and peripherals are starting to bring the 3D factor to other products as well, something Planar has shown with its latest keyboard.
Just a short time ago, it was revealed that Planar did something more or less out of character and released a new monitor for the consumer market.
Said monitor is known as the SA2311W and is a Full HD display with support for 3D (has a resolution of 1,920 x 1,080 pixels and a refresh rate of 120 Hz).
What was even more uncommon, one may say, is that the company also released what can be seen as a 3D keyboard.
Dubbed ProGlow, this peripheral was specifically designed to be easily used while wearing active shutter glasses.
As far as functionality goes, the keyboard features 105 keys, distributed according to a QWERTY design, and connectivity via Universal Serial Bus (USB).
The real asset, however, is that it boasts seven adjustable light levels and can even have the light turned off completely, depending on user need and/or preference.
It is this lighting system that allows the keys to be seen clearly through the aforementioned type of 3D glasses.
As one would expect, Planar recommends that this peripheral be purchased alongside the SA2311W, preferable in a bundle with the NVIDIA 3D Vision kit.
Availability, however, is not slated to come for a while, with the earliest shipment schedule set to begin sometime during December.
When it does finally start to show up in stores, those interested will have to part with the sum of $185.
Of course, its maker has already added a so-called product page to its official website, located here, through which one will be easily able to set orders when the time comes.
