The MSI GX780 has the flashiest laptop keyboard we've seen to date. This keyboard from SteelSeries, a manufacturer of gaming peripherals and accessories, would definitely make any gamer drool while racking up some extra frags.

There are several lighting options for the keyboard, each to suit the current task at hand. All one has to do is to press any one of the modes and various keys will automatically light up. In Gaming Mode for example, only the frequently used W, A, S, D buttons will be lit.The keyboard will also feature 5 lighting modes that can display 30 colors and 1,000 different color combinations.

Keys that can hinder gameplay, such as the Windows Start Button, have been repositioned so gamers won't have to worry about hitting them by accident anymore. Also, game-reliant keys like Ctrl and Alt have been enlarged for better precision in gaming.

Under the hood there's an Intel Core i7 2630QM 2GHz quad-core processor, an Nvidia GeForce GT555M graphics card and support for up to 16GB of RAM.

While this machine is powerful, it should also sound decent with Dynaudio and THX TruStudio Pro audio technologies built in.

There hasn't been any official announcement on price or availability for the GX780 yet. We will update this post when more details are out.
