Cooler Master's subsidiary, CM Storm, continues to develop quality PC gaming peripherals proving that it is a serious player in the industry. The CM Storm Ceres-400 wired gaming headset, model SGH-2010-KKTA1, is the organization's latest audio entry into the market, and it is clear what the objective was when developing this headset; to provide budget-conscious gamers with a high-quality set of headphones. Priced at around $50, the Ceres-400 is packed with features, such as the large 40mm drivers, you normally won't find at this price point. Benchmark Reviews is proud to take a close look at this headset in order to provide you with a thorough review of it.
Mad Catz released their new STRIKE 7 keyboard two months back, representing the high end model of their new cyborg series keyboards. Like the Cyborg RAT-9/7/5/3 mice, the STRIKE 5 is now released. It's more affordable, and just as promising. Equipped with the same keyboard and customization setup, the STRIKE 5 is equipped with the same power with the only difference being the auxiliary panel. Instead of the VENOM touchscreen which came with 12 apps, the STRIKE 5 comes with a simplified OLED EYE display. For those looking for a cheaper alternative to the STRIKE 7, Benchmark Reviews will analyze the STRIKE 5 to see if it holds up.
Gerade der Markt um die Gaming-Peripherie erhält immer wieder Zuwachs und jeder will ein Stück vom Kuchen ab haben. So auch der amerikanische Hersteller Tesoro, welcher sogleich mit der DURANDAL ULITMATE im High-End-Segment einsteigen möchte. Ob das Produkt geeignet ist, in diesem Marktsegment Akzente zu setzen und Erfolge zu feiern, will unser Artikel klären.
The modular concept of the keyboard is very impressive. The typing experience is very nice, and the extendable wrist supports provide extra comfort. The only real complaint we have is that the numpad module isn't completely programmable. The aluminium base of the keyboard makes it a very solid and sturdy construction, and the touchscreen has lots of features. We have yet to test a keyboard that has as many options as this one. So if you're a gamer and your budget allows spending £220 on a keyboard, then the S.t.r.i.k.e. 7 is an excellent product.
Mionix sent along the Naos 8200 gaming mouse and the Ensis 320 aluminium mouse pad to check out.
This week I've been spending my time playing around with this S.T.R.I.K.E.5 keyboard from MadCatz, which as some of you may know is the "toned down" edition of their S.T.R.I.K.E.7 Keyboard which Tim reviewed for us a little while ago. I use the words "toned down" lightly of course, as this is still a completely mental keyboard that is packed with top of the line features, extreme combustibility and a hefty price tag.
Clocking in at around £179.99 this is still one of the most expensive keyboards we've had in the office, but with the Strike7 costing £249.99 the Strike5 suddenly seems like good value for money. Now I'm not going to dismiss this whole review on the fact that it's so expensive, as when you pay a high price tag you expect a return from your investment and that is something we saw with the Strike7, sure its expensive, but it has a lot of features and technology, I expect we'll see something similar today from the Strike5.
The one thing that stunned us (at first) about the Strike7 and the Strike5 is that they're not fitted with mechanical keys, but instead feature high quality membrane keys. Our other reviewer Tim remarked that the Strike7 was not unlike Brown switches in terms of key-press performance and I suspect well see the same kind of keys in the Strike5. Although it is unusual for a keyboard over £100 to not feature a full mechanical layout, but I guess that can really be broken down to personal preference on what kind of keys you prefer.
MadCatz have been on a winning streak this last couple of years, not onlywith their own product lines but also their Tritton, Seitek and Cyborg ranges have been winning awards, not only from us but from many sources in the industry as well as winning over the hearts and minds of gamers, both in and out of the pro gaming community. It's hard to find a gaming event that doesn't have someone from MadCatz on hand listening to gamers, getting them to use their products and gaining feedback. The Strike5 I expect has been no different, so lets take a look at what MadCatz have packed into this keyboard and see if they really have delivered on what us gamers really want in a keyboard.
