Hori to Offer Dragon Quest Slime Keyboard
posted on by Lynzee Loveridge
Video game accessory developer Hori announced on Friday that it will release a new "Dragon Quest Slime Keyboard" on August 2. Designed to be paired with the Dragon Quest X: Mezameshi Itsutsu no Shuzoku Online game for the Square Enix's series.
The keyboard features Slime, a recurring mascot monster from the franchise. The official licensed peripheral will retail for 3,980 yen ($51) and include 12 miniature Slime figures on its function key. All of the keys are printed with a pixelated dot font in homage to the in-game text. The USB keyboard can also be used with a standard PC. Orders will also include a limited number of item codes for in-game bonuses such as experience increases and gold.
Hori previously sold stackable slime Tower Speakers last year.
Square Enix's Dragon Quest X will feature multiple races — human, ogre, weddie, elf, dwarf, and pukuripo — from which each player can create more than one characters. A promo video last month confirmed the Wii version's Japanese release date as August 2.
