Today for review I've got the Zowie Gear P-RF mousepad or mousing surface, yesterday we looked at the Ulti-mat Breathe F-X3, so I figured why not follow with another pad review. The P-RF is a small pad, but not too small, a bit larger than a standard sheet of paper really, coming in at 13.4 x 11.4 inches. The P-RF features a rubber non-slip backing and it has a water splash proof surface, not sure exactly what that means though. Anyway, read on to learn more
Zowie Gear is a new player in the gaming peripheral market. The company is based in Huntington Beach, California, and will offer mousepads, headphones and other accessories for gamers. Zowie Gear claims their highest ambition is not to become the biggest manufacturer of professional gaming gear, but to become the best. In this review I'm taking a closer look at one of Zowie's first products: the P-RF mousepad. A lot of gaming mousepads are made from plastic these days, but Zowie begs to differ and released the RF gaming surfaces, these mousepads are made out of waterproof cloth.
Not every mouse needs to be some huge gamer palm gripper with MMO buttons, colour changing lights, DPI switches, different profiles and lift off sensors. Sometimes you just want to go back to basics, a slower paced rodent for a slower paced game. That’s what Zowie have purportedly put together in their Mico mouse. It’s “only” got a DPI of 1600 in three different steppings, but they’ve worked together with pro Starcraft players to make it, so it’s unlikely to lower your APM.
Input devices will always be essential on a computer and peoples opinions on what makes a good mouse, for instance will vary so much that it is impossible to design a mouse that fits everyone's tastes. Manufactures for this reason design input devices, especially mice, to fit into a certain category. These can be 'Home and Office use', 'Gamer', 'Graphic Designer' and loads others. The hardest to please of those is usually the Gaming type user, who relies on his mouse and keyboard to play the games. For some people out there, gaming is not just something to do on a wet day and there is certainly a lot of money to be made as a professional gamer.
Erinnert ihr euch noch an den Spätherbst 2000? das war ziemlich genau ein Jahr vor der Veröffentlichung von Windows XP, fast parallel dazu lancierte Microsoft eine damals revolutionäre neue Maus, die uns nicht mehr mit einer ständigen verschmutzenden Kugel maltretierte, sondern bereits eine optische Abtastung besaß. Genau, die Rede ist von der Intellimouse Optical. Diese Maus hat trotz der geringen Auflösung von 400 DPI auch noch heute einen legendären Ruf und das interessanterweise sogar unter E-Sport Anhängern. Der Ruf begründet sich allerdings auch in der unglaublichen Robustheit, insofern war es fast schon keine Überraschung, das die letzten Special Editions bei Ebay sehr hoch gehandelt wurden.
Up on the review block today I’ve got a gaming headset from Zowie Gear called the Hammer. The Hammer is made for gaming specifically, and for gaming it works well, but if you’re looking for a headset that you can use for music and movies as well you might want to look elsewhere. The headset is nicely made with a large boom style microphone, long cables and even two types of ear pads are included.
Multiplayer games being all the rage nowadays, having a headset is essential so you can communicate with your fellow players and, why not, the adversaries as well. Zowie enters the gaming-grade niche with the release of the Hammer E-Sport Headset. The design resembles an old school DJ headphone — a friend has dubbed it "Paradise Garage", referring to the legendary 70's and 80's NY nightclub which was the birthplace of a particular subgenre of house music, garage. The ear cups cover the entire ear, the whole body is very sturdy and reinforced so the microphone bar and headband cannot be easily broken, and it also comes with extra cable so you can walk around the room while using Skype. Let's examine the Hammer in details.
Zowie Gear, société fondée fin 2008, est un constructeur d'accessoires et périphériques de jeux. Expérience, créativité, innovation mais surtout passion pour les jeux sont les atouts du personnel de cette société dont les actionnaires restent complètement en retrait. Ceci constitue probablement le meilleur atout de Zowie Gear, face à la concurrence.
ZOWIE Gear is a new face on the market of gaming and with their first
product, the P-RF mousepad, they have left a very positive impression on me. The P-RF doesn't seem to move an inch under heavy gaming and is accurate in both games and graphic applications.
