Today we’re taking a quick look at the recently relaunched Roccat Sense mousepad. The mousepad was actually released back in 2008 and has proved a popular product for Roccat, so they’ve given it a new design and put it back on the market alongside their newly launch Roccat Kone Pure Optical gaming mouse. The reissue comes with a brand new Meteor Blue design, and all the original features that made it so popular are still intact.
Having the right surface can really make or break your gaming experience. Not only can the right surface improve your comfort during long gaming sessions, but having the right surface for your mouse can also improve your accuracy and it can change how well your mouse glides over the surface. All of which are important to get right, but also all are very subjective and different for each user, mouse, or in some cases each game.
Priced at around 20 Euros the Sense is on par with many similar options on the market and this re-release will no doubt please fans of the original who are eager to purchase again the surface after all these years. So let’s get right to it and see what this surface has to offer.
The packaging is nicely designed and on par with what we usually see from Roccat. They’ve added two sample cuts of the material on the side of the box, one with the top surface and one with the grip base to give you a good indication of the texture.

A few weeks ago we brought you three reviews from the aluminium loving peripheral range from CM Storm, this includes their Pulse-R headset, Mech keyboard and the Reaper mouse. All three of these products are designed to look great, not only on their own, but also when they’re put next to each other. CM Storm do not sell these three items as a complete set, but today we want to find out what it would be like to live with the trilogy together.
Naturally having already tested these products we know they’re great, their performance isn’t even in question today as they’ve all walked away with tasty eTeknix awards in their respective reviews.
Style isn’t everything, but it certainly can’t hurt to have it. With the dominance of eSports and LAN gaming events we are seeing more and more focus on appearance in the PC gaming community. This ranges from branding, sponsorship, customisation of implement, case mods, colour matching components and peripherals, branded clothes and more. Having the cool stuff with the LED lights on it and the matching T-shirt might sound pointless, but many of us are guilty of it.
The packaging alone gives away the fact these products were destined to be next to each other. All three feature aluminium panels that can be removed, customised and then re-attached, allowing you to have your favourite images or logos printed on them, or you could always crack out a can of spray paint and do something creative of your own.

When someone asks my opinion on a new gaming mouse, I always have to include a SteelSeries Sensei in that short list. Hard core mice enthusiasts will mention that it doesn’t have a “flawless” sensor, but most users would never spot the difference. More importantly, the Sensei has a shape that most absolutely love and you are also getting their SteelSeries Engine software. Those who know me, know I’m a sucker for orange, when I saw the Fnatic Sensei I had to have one to match my orange Siberia v2 headset.

Lately whenever i hear people talking about gaming peripherals mechanical keyboards seem to always steal the show and that's somewhat justifiable in a way since they do offer impressive MTBF times and tactile feedback compared to regular membrane keyboards. Of course not all is black and white in the market and so we've seen quite a few membrane keyboards during these past 2 years that share equally good MTBF times and offer a good amount of feedback as well like the S.T.R.I.K.E. 7 and S.T.R.I.K.E. 5 by Mad Catz and the APEX and APEX [RAW] by SteelSeries all of which we have reviewed in the past. Well it seems that Mad Catz is not ready to halt their S.T.R.I.K.E line of gaming keyboards and so just recently they announced the S.T.R.I.K.E. 3 gaming keyboard which is basically a cut-down version of its more expensive brothers featuring just basic functionality without sacrificing key precision and MTBF.

Le Kraken, vous connaissez ?? Il s’agit d’une grosse bestiole marine qui déguste des chalutiers au petit déjeuner et des tankers à midi. Du coup, quand nous avons appris que nous allions avoir le Kraken en test, honnêtement, sans aller jusqu’à se laisser aller à la parano du type : « AAhhhh, on va avoir une énooormmme bête dans la maison, elle va tous nous manger…. » (oui, nous sommes un tant soit peu plus censés que cela), nous nous demandions pourquoi Kraken ? Razer veut-il signifier que le casque est gros, monstrueux et tout et tout ? Une fois, la boîte entre les mains, non, c’est juste que Razer a choisi un nom légendaire pour son casque analogique 2.0. Il est d’ailleurs question ici d’un casque sans micro, ce qui est un peu une première pour Razer. Voyons voir donc si ce casque, ô combien visible, vaut le détour.

Gigabyte nous a fait parvenir sa dernière souris. Elle s’affuble du sobriquet d’Uranium ; c'est un peu radioactif, peut-être pas forcément dans l’air du temps. Mais les voies du marketing sont impénétrables. Cela dit, au-delà de cet aspect des choses, Gigabyte nous propose aussi une souris aux caractéristiques techniques franchement alléchantes : sans fil, base avec écran… Bref, l’idée est d’aller se frotter aux ténors du genre. La dernière souris Gigabyte testée, la M9 Ice, nous avait plutôt séduits par son positionnement sans fil / prix bien placé. L’Uranium se positionne nettement au-dessus. Reste à voir si elle peut vraiment venir jouer dans la cour des grandes.

Ohne alles: Die Quickfire XT von Cooler Master kommt mit mechanischen Schaltern, aber ohne Beleuchtung, Zusatztasten, Makros oder Design-Elemente aus. Einfach erfolgreich?

It was only a short time ago that I was taking a look at Logitech’s new G700s wireless gaming mouse. Not too long after that Logitech actually announced another wireless gaming mouse that would be sold alongside of the G700s, this one is called the G602. Unlike the G700s, the G602 wasn’t an upgrade to a previous model. The G602 a considerably different in design compared to the G700s and it also does not use a rechargeable battery. Logitech did however introduce it with a big promise, they claim 250 hours of gametime in its performance mode, an impressive number for a gaming mouse. Let’s dig into the G602 and find out if their claims have merit and find out what it’s all about.
