Gadgets for real gamers
Deciding to write material about gadgets for real gamers, I was at first confused, because what is there to write about gadgets - mice and keyboards - that's all we need.
A true gamer of reliable accessories is enough with his head, there would be a comfortable grip, the necessary buttons under his fingers, and the keystroke tangible. The speed of response, software, all things.
But, it would have turned out, probably, a very narrow and rather specific review - without a spark. Similar articles are a dime a dozen on the “iron” sites: which mouse is better in weight, shape, color and gadgets, and which mechanical keyboard will not allow the neighbors to sleep at night two floors below.
And gamers are not the only computers that live now - the console and mobile market is growing and thriving, not allowing breathing a lot of gaming innovations.
')
On the one hand, I wanted to tell about the most interesting, which effectively and reasonably goes beyond the well-established framework of products, and on the other hand, it can please or expand the possibilities of an enthusiastic gamer not constrained in funds.
Therefore, we will not limit ourselves, and take a look at the various types of unusual gadgets that today can attract player attention. Let me excuse the overly practical readers, or fans of the products of certain companies.
Despite the fact that the computer keyboard and mouse things are very conservative, and in their traditional form they hardly resemble gadgets, modern manufacturers do not lose their ingenuity, turning simple manipulators into high-tech and unusual devices.
What can I say, if the company Razer, promoting the centralized lighting system Chroma, turned into a modern gadget even a mouse pad, introducing the Razer Firefly * .
We can no longer be surprised by modern optical systems with a resolution of 16.000 dpi, which make it possible to track mouse movements with an accuracy of 0.1 mm, a tracking speed of 300 dpi and a maximum acceleration of 50G, but the developers are not discouraged.
The recently released modular gaming mouse ROCCAT Nyth * allows the owner not only to change the shape and grip of the manipulator, but also has a special modular area for the thumb, on which up to 12 mechanical buttons can be placed in various combinations. Which is very convenient if you, for example, do not need a rich scattering of Razer Naga * or Logitech G600 * buttons, but you do not want to constrain yourself in functionality.
In addition to a well-thought-out modular system, the manipulator is equipped with an EASY-SHIFT [+] button and a special flick button, which expands the device’s already rich functionality.
Although, if you want to have a real transforming monster, pleasantly cooling your palm and attracting the eyes of others - your choice is Mad Catz RAT PRO X * , the body of which is made of lightweight and durable magnesium alloy, and the modular design allows you to replace any part, from the legs to the sensor .
The set comes a bunch of replacement parts, up to the "tire" for the wheel.
In case such “steepness” doesn’t need you, from transformers you can pay attention to more modest Mad Catz RAT PRO S or Cougar 700M * .
Following the logic, the next character in our review should be the keyboard, but talking about gadgets for real gamers, one can not fail to mention such interesting hybrid controllers as keypads.
They have long been on the market, gaining popularity among many players. However, this does not prevent manufacturers from continuing to improve them.
The most prominently in this niche are the products of the Razer company, and last year their models Orbweaver * and Tartarus * joined the intelligent Chroma backlight system. So, in addition to the convenient replacement of a large keyboard, your playing space will be enriched with a twinkling toy with 20-30 fully programmable keys.
With similar functionality, the Logitech G13 * console can also please you.
Recently, nothing radically new or unusual has been produced, although many manufacturers have updated the model range, improving their creations.
On the other hand, in comparison with the office, many ordinary gaming keyboard look just like aliens from other planets.
The manufacturer of high-quality gaming peripherals, the company Sharkoon, has released a mechanical keyboard SHARK ZONE MK80 RGB * iridescent with all the colors of the rainbow, a stylish SHARK ZONE K30 * and SHARK ZONE K20 * in a metal case.
Fans of membrane solutions can please Skiller PRO + * with LED-backlit.
In the Razer line, the Razer DeathStalker Ultimate * looks the most unusual, with configurable LCD buttons and a trackpad in place of a digital unit, although it is difficult to imagine a gamer who can constantly glance from screen to buttons, burn through the left-hand touch screen from the right edge of the caviatura. On the use of the trackpad instead of the mouse just keep silent.
Otherwise, in addition to the direct use for their intended purpose, the Razer keyboards are able to stylishly highlight the evening leisure of a real gamer with the above-mentioned Chroma backlight system, and such models as the BlackWidow * and Deathstalker * (with the Chroma prefixes in the title) will become a central element of the composition.
Logitech has released a rather interesting shortened keyboard without a digital unit Logitech G410 Atlas Spectrum * TKL (TenKeyLess), sensibly judging that gamers will not engage in accounting.
Instead, the already practical gadget is supplemented with an Arx Control docking station for a smartphone, to which, with the help of special software, you can display up-to-date game information.
More recently, mechanical mechanicals like the Logitech G810 Orion Spectrum * and ROCCAT Ryos MK FX * are on sale. In comparison with the already presented keyboards, they no longer look out of the ordinary, but may become a qualitative alternative to the Razer or Sharkoon.
Logitech features allow you to highlight any key separately, but if the G810 is still difficult to get, you can stop at the Logitech G910 Orion *
.
Roccat has long threatened to release an innovative SKELTR keyboard, which works in conjunction with a smartphone, allowing you not only to check separately with the latest game information, but also to communicate with friends without looking up from important games, typing messages on the keyboard or making calls.
We wait.
Fans of the futuristic look of keyboards with additional units may like Mad Catz STRIKE 5 * or Mad Catz STRIKE 7 * - they have been on the market for a long time and have their admirers.
From the same series in the sale can still be found Logitech G19S * .
No matter how hard I tried to tell not only about the clav-mouses, it would still not work out to fit everything into one article without turning it into a second “Lord of the Rings” by volume.
In the next part of interesting or unusual gadgets for gamers, I will talk about console, mobile and virtual gadgets, as well as walk through the gaming weaknesses.
PS Although, okay, for a snack - from the category of "weakness" of a gamer and amateur cosmo / aerial team - a gadget that comes to Star Citizen fans in dreams.
Saitek HOTAS modular set, consisting of a keyboard with a separating digital unit, a thrust lever and a joystick.
The digital unit is equipped with a small display, which displays the necessary information to the pilot.
Elements of the kit can be combined in various ways, creating configurations for different styles of play and different types of spacecraft.
Well, since such a candy will not be available soon, as long as you can please yourself with something like the Saitek X52 Flight Control System * .
That's all about errors and inaccuracies found in the text is better to write in the LAN. With you there was a simple service for choosing complex Dronk.Ru equipment. Do not forget to subscribe to our blog , there will be many more interesting things.
ps * - you can return up to 5% of the purchase price by purchasing goods from these links.
