ROCCAT's new gaming accessories merge power with beauty
ROCCAT has been in the game for a long time, providing us with wireless mice, keyboards, headsets, and other accessories since long before Fortnite was even a glimmer in Epic's eye. The German hardware manufacturer is showing no signs of slowing either, with their latest batch of tools now ready to be deployed to your gaming arsenal.
Let's start with the new Syn Max Air, which fuses ROCCAT's design with Turtle Beach’s phenomenal audio technology into a game-changing wireless headset. Its truspeak mic and dynamic 3D audio will give you the acoustic edge in online shooters, and its cooling memory foam earpads and lightweight aluminium frame will keep gaming for hours without bother.
In the box, you'll also find earcups and an RGB Rapid Charge Dock, giving you even more RGB lighting to tinker with and sync up with other AIMO-enabled ROCCAT gaming hardware.
Next up is the Vulcan II Max keyboard. It really catches the eye with its aluminium plate and detachable translucent palm rest, which lets RGB light pass through for a beautiful soft-lighting effect.
Under the hood, the Vulcan II Max contains ROCCAT’s TITAN II Optical-Mechanical Switches for a singularly smooth mechanical feel, hyper-fast actuation, and incredible durability. This is also the first keyboard to contain Dual-LED Smart switches, which let you know when secondary functions are active.
Finally, we come to what many gamers would argue is the most functionally important piece of gaming hardware: the mouse or, specifically, the ROCCAT Kone XP Air.
This 19k DPI wireless mouse boasts five different programmable 3D RGB zones, and 29 programmable inputs. The precision and speed of ROCCAT’s Owl-Eye optical sensor will give you that fine-margin edge in an online shooter, or help you assemble your troops that bit quicker than your opponent in a strategy game.
Every mouse needs a mat, and if you want to complete the AIMO-enabled family, then check out the SENSE AIMO mousepad. Available in both standard and XXL sizes, it features vivid AIMO illumination in 2 individually controlled RGB zones.
Want to stream and share your gaming journey with the world? Then get your hands on the Torch–a studio-grade USB Microphone that will take your content creation to the next level. With 24-bit audio quality, built in pop filter, latency-free mic monitoring and hassle-free plug-and-play setup, the Torch Mic will get you creating quickly and with unparalleled production value.
Mixer-style controls at the base of the mic let you mute, adjust volume and select from one of three pick up patterns with ease. And those RGB lights aren't just for show either. The higher your volume, the brighter the lights on your mic; then when you mute, it all turns red, making it clear when you’re live and when you’re not.
Good PC looks and raw functionality don't need to be mutually exclusive; they can go hand-in-hand, and ROCCAT shows how, delivering a complete gaming package that will enhance any gamer's desktop.
