Game peripheral designer Wolf King has developed a radically revised gaming keyboard that could be released soon, a new FCC filing shows. The new controller -- known so far only by its DK-2788UH codename -- would include the company's signature, circular first-person shooter key layout of the Wolf King Warrior but would add a similar pad to the right for typing. Gamers could chat with gamers or otherwise interact outside of the game without needing the bulk of a full-length keyboard.

The prototype shows signs of two USB ports for attaching other controllers and would provide seven programmable keys for commonly used game functions. As with most FCC-based leaks, the filing does not provide clues as to when Wolf King's device will ship but hints that a formal launch is approaching soon. [via Hardware.info]
