Since the inception of the first point and click device for computers, there has been someone sitting in a corner thinking to themselves "what can I do to make this better and more useful?" Over many years of evolution we went from mice with just one button on them, to mice with a pair of buttons and a scroll wheel. For many users this is more than enough to deal with as far as their point and click needs go for emails or finding a recipe for Peking duck for the next family gathering. For me, I prefer a mouse to have as many buttons on it as comfortably possible. By this I mean that if given enough buttons to my mice, I prefer to set my gun swap there, grenades, knife, even the push to talk for whatever application I am on at the time I am gaming. The latter part is the biggest concern to me and that is giving me what I want in options without having an odd shape or having to contort my hands in painful ways to utilize all of the buttons.
I’m no different. My “gaming” mice journey started out with a Microsoft IntelliMouse Explorer; then a Logitech MX 1000; then the Logitech MX Revolution; then the Logitech Performance MX; and currently with the Logitech G700. If you look at all these mice you can see that other than the MX 1000 the layout and look do not differentiate from each other much. The G700 I possess I thought was by far the best mouse overall I’ve ever used. Other than the battery life, when in wireless mode sucks balls, the mouse was a perfect fit for me. The size, the speed, the button layout, the complete overall feel…it was amazing. So, when Bob asked me to review the Corsair Vengeance M60 Performance Gaming Mouse I was a bit hesitant. I don’t like reviewing products that I have a defined bias towards even before I open the box. I couldn’t see how anything could be as good as my G700. Well, I’ve been using the M60 for 3 weeks now and boy was I wrong.
Our first audio product we have seen from CM Storm, a fully featured 5.1 headset - let's take a look.
Mechanical keyboards have become increasingly popular over the last year, particularly as peripheral manufacturers sponsor pro-gaming teams, and today we’ve got one more: The somewhat redundantly titled Cooler Master Quick Fire Rapid, a tenkeyless mechanical keyboard available with your choice of Cherry MX Blue, Brown, Red and Black switches.
Like many other manufacturers, Cooler Master started out in a specialised area (cooling) but has since branched out into a number of different areas, including peripherals. Corsair has followed a similar path and impressed me with their Corsair Vengeance suite of mechanical keyboards and gaming mice; can Cooler Master do the same?
We put the new official Xbox 360Force Feedback Racing Wheel from MadCatz through its pacesin NFS Shift 2 and Forza 4.
Comme vous le voyez régulièrement à travers nos articles, le mécanique est de retour, it’ll be back, now !! Toutes les grandes marques de jeu s’y sont mises, certaines plus tôt que d’autres, mais il y a aussi, comme nous vous l’avons présenté récemment, un paquet de marques chinoises qui en proposent aussi. Après, donc le Noppoo qui nous a tant plu, voilà le PLU. Pour le coup, chez PLU, on a à disposition des claviers au format standard mais aussi des tenkyless un peu moins compact que chez Noppoo. Autant le Noppoo fait valoir un nom sympathique, autant chez PLU, on tape dans l’appellation codée classique, le ML-87. Bien entendu, un peu comme les autres, il est possible de le tuner un peu, switches de la couleur de son choix, keycaps aussi. C’est d’ailleurs le gros plus de toute cette production mécanique, nous vous l’avons déjà dit, le fait de choisir son type de clavier. Par contre, il faut passer par la case import et le layout QWERTY, mais on s’y fait tellement facilement que ce n’est pas un vrai problème. Ici, aujourd’hui donc, un PLU tenkeyless white blanked.
Mechanical keyboards are the latest rage in peripherals today. It's time to see how the CM Storm QuickFire Pro stands up to the flood of competition.
The Vengeance M60 FPS laser mouse is Corsair's latest addition to its line of products. The M60 has 8 configurable buttons aimed at maximizing the FPS gaming performance. The dedicated "sniper" button is one of its most interesting features with the promise to help accurate aiming. Benchmark Reviews will be testing out the Vengeance M60 and see if it's a worthy buy.
The Simraceway S1 Steering Wheel from SteelSeries is a unique peripheral made for people that do not have enough space in their gaming room to keep a full racing setup. The wheel comes with shift, throttle and brake paddles in the back and enough programmable buttons on the front for delivering a much better experience than using a regular Xbox360 controller. A nice addition is the RPM LEDs, but these will function only if the games also support it (F1 2011, Simraceway). The S1 also supports an optional wheel stand, which hopefully will become available in the near future.
Arming the gaming revolution is a phrase Cooler Master coined when debuting the CM Storm brand. The first CM Storm product I had the joy of using was the Spawn gaming mouse. I won the Spawn gaming mouse at the largest LAN party the state of NJ has ever had the privilege of hosting, The GXL. If you’ve ever seen the Spawn mouse it looks quite the opposite of impressive. It comes in a small box and is cheaply priced. Honestly, I wasn’t expecting much. When I first opened the product I thought I was looking at another gimmicky product and if you’ve ever read any of the reviews in the past you know how I feel about products like that. It reminded me of a bear claw, yes, the pastry. After about 5 minutes of use on my work laptop my opinion couldn’t have been more different compared to the moment the box was originally handed to me. The Spawn is one hell of a gaming mouse. By far, the best $40 mouse I’ve ever used. So, when Bob asked me to take a look at the CM Storm Quick Fire Pro Mechanical Gaming Keyboard I was very enthusiastic about the opportunity.
