There’s two main schools of thought when it comes to gaming nice. There’s the heavily evolved, multi buttoned, feature and software packed beasts. They might have changeable weights, a little LCD display, 10+ buttons etc.
It is the time of year where everybody is in a buying frenzy at the malls, attempting to find a secret pathway through overflowing parking lots. Now, I'm quite certain many people have been having larger than necessary meals, and are probably looking towards some downtime. For many of us, that will involve a computer somewhere along these lines, and in today's world, you will probably be using a computer mouse. During the relaxing holiday period around Christmas, my mouse of choice was the Cooler Master Storm Xornet. While many people would consider the performance or the number of buttons on a mouse essential, I would consider comfort the most important aspect to any peripheral. It could just be me, but a mouse which happens to lack in comfort usually ends up going out the window after a few hours of regular usage. Having all of my jobs involving computers, an excellent mouse that is comfortable to use is an absolute requirement. Anyone using a computer for extended periods of time would easily object to being forced to work with a lousy mouse. The real question is if your mouse is really keeping up with today's newest hardware. So while you are contemplating what you want to get during the boxing week sales, let's take a look at a mouse I am thoroughly enjoying right now -- the Cooler Master Storm Xornet.
When I am in front of the computer, I sometimes wonder how many times I have clicked my mouse buttons, and how long they would last down the road. Although in reality, while I doubt it actually matters how many times a mouse has been clicked, it seems like a valid question to me. Okay, who am I kidding? I rarely think of things along this track of thought, but today's review unit has got me thinking about this quite a bit more. Our review unit today comes from Cooler Master, a company renowned for their power supplies, chassis, cooling products and many more. Some are even diehard fans about their spinoff brand CM Storm, the gaming division of Cooler Master, similar to that of Tt eSPORTS from Thermaltake (Really, they even abbreviated their name in the same manner). The product we will be taking a deeper look at today will be the Cooler Master Storm Spawn, which is the latest product from the CM Storm line of products. If most readers recall, the previous Cooler Master Storm Inferno did not perform exceptionally well. So today, let's see how much Cooler Master has stepped up their game for the latest rendition in the CM Storm series of mice. The Cooler Master Storm Spawn is advertised to have Omron Micro Switches for their buttons, and is said to last up to 5 million mouse clicks. We can't exactly test that right at this moment, but maybe later on, if we have a chance we can update the review to include how well the mouse fares after 5 million mouse clicks. The ETA for that would be after the Second Coming. Without further delay, let's dive right into today's review, and see how well the Cooler Master Storm Spawn performs.
Today we have for review the latest CM Storm weapon of choice, the Spawn gaming mouse. Unlike its predecessors the Sentinel and Inferno, which utilized a more traditional elongated shape, the Spawn offers a wider and rounder claw-like grip. Featuring a high performance 3500 DPI optical sensor with "DPI on-the-fly" buttons, ultra precise step scroll wheel, Omron micro switches for guaranteed five million clicks and 32Kb of onboard memory to store your settings, this is one mouse set to "spawn" your gaming to a new level.
The Spawn gaming mouse is the latest edition in the Cooler Master CM storm series of gaming peripherals. With a MSRP of just $49.99 the Spawn bridges the gap between a box store mouse and Cooler Master’s own pro line of gaming mice.
Speakers work well for general listening, but when you need to hear sound detail there's no match for good headphones. Taking things to the next level, Cooler Master offers gamers and audio enthusiasts the best of both worlds with their CM Storm Sonuz wired gaming headset, model SGH-4010-KGTA1. Priced around $69, Sonuz delivers smooth analog sound over extra-large 53mm drivers. In this article Benchmark Reviews will test the CM Storm Sonuz headset for range, sensitivity, comfort, and functionality.
In this review I'll be looking at the latest gaming headset from Cooler Master called the Storm Sonuz. The Sonuz is a lightweight multipurpose gaming headset that features a comfortable over ear speaker design, large 53mm stereo drivers, removable microphone and in-line remote for volume and microphone control.
If the cord for your mouse gets caught up or is frying the edge of your new mouse pad, CM Storm offers the Skorpion Bungee to tend to that wire and make mousing easier.
With SSD tech advancing at a colossal rate and more and more technical terms appearing every day to describe controller types, wear levellers and other such additions can make it hard to know what is what in the world of the Solid State Drive.
Cooler Master sent over a pre-production sample of their new CM Storm Sirus 5.1 Surround Sound Gaming Headset for evaluation recently. This wired headset certainly has a lot of promise, with eight speakers (four per side), a built-in microphone, optional ear padding, a powered desktop control panel and the option to plug directly into your sound card. More importantly, at least for me, is that the headset features over-the-ear cups. I find these types of headsets much more comfortable than on-the-ear cans which tend to cause me discomfort after a short while.
