Uznani producenci myszy przeznaczonych dla graczy, tacy jak Microsoft, Logitech czy Razer, mają coraz większą konkurencję na tym polu. Po niedawnym debiucie firmy Nova, teraz Silverstone oferuje swoje urządzenie o nazwie Raven.

Silverstone to firma, która jest znana jako producent obudów komputerowych wysokiej jakości. Także w tym przypadku nabywcy nie powinni się zawieść. Raven wyróżnia się atrakcyjnym wyglądem i zastosowaniem elementów z włókna węglowego. Ponieważ jest produktem skierowanym do graczy, mysz podłącza się do komputera za pomocą kabla. Bezprzewodowość nie jest mile widziana w tym środowisku z powodu dłuższego czasu reakcji. Czułość urządzenia można regulować w zakresie do 400 do 3200 DPI. Aktualne ustawienie jest sygnalizowane poprzez niewielki wyświetlacz OLED. Raven waży 50 g.

Większość graczy słysząc o przeznaczonej dla nich myszy, myśli przede wszystkim o produktach takich firm, jak: Logitechu, Microsoft czy Razer. Firma Nova Gaming wprowadza produkt, za pomocą którego ma dołączyć do tego elitarnego grona.

Slider X 600 jest wyposażono w ceramiczną podstawę i czułość do 3200 dpi. W odróżnieniu od większości tego typu produktów, kabel wychodzi z boku, a nie z przodu urządzenia. Na razie nie wiadomo, czemu miałoby służyć to rozwiązanie. Mysz posiada 8 programowalnych przycisków i możliwość zapisania trzech różnych profili ustawień. Dodatkowo, mysz może zostać podświetlona pięcioma różnymi kolorami.

Cena Slidera X 6 00 to 100$. Ponadto firma Nova zapowiada wprowadzenie podkładki Over Slide, która ma być idealnym dodatkiem do myszy. Jej cena to 40$.

* Quick-release system to remove the vest in emergencies.
* Greater coverage of the lower back, side torso,  5.11 tactical vest and shoulders.
* Integrated side SAPI pouches.
* Integrated channels for communications wiring.
* Rifle bolster to assist in seating the wearer's rifle.
* Improved closure system.
* Same modular PALS webbing as the Interceptor.

The Marine Corps awarded a major contract to Protective Products International to produce 60,000 vests, and has begun fielding them as of 2007 with a continuous roll-out expected.

The vest is donned and removed using a hook-and-pile "cumberbund," which fastens around the waist, and a buckle atop each shoulder. Although hugely positive towards the MTV compared to all other options, some users have complained that the vest is more time-consuming to don (especially with a full combat load attached) when compared to the Interceptor's single hook-and-loop flap. That said, there remains talk of introducing the MTV more widely in the Military.

The quick-release system was designed in response to concerns that the Interceptor was difficult for medical personnel to remove from incapacitated troops, and in some cases had to be cut off. When pulled firmly, a cord at the bottom of the vest causes the cumberbund to separate into two pieces. The shoulder buckles can then be unfastened and the vest removed in pieces, with no need to change the casualty's body position.

Razer, el fabricante líder de periféricos para juegos, ha presentado su nuevo modelo de auriculares, Razer Megalodon, con sonido envolvente 7.1 y respaldado por el sistema de sonido Razer Maelström Audio Engine.

Gracias a ello, con estos auriculares se pueden reproducir y procesar sonidos y algoritmos de audio hasta un 800% más rápido que con los métodos habituales de HRTF de virtual surround.

Ideados en principio para juegos, los Razer Megalodon cuentan con micrófono para comandos y chats de voz, y el volumen puede ser ajustado desde su control, que tiene para ello una rueda giratoria estilo dial, y con la cual también es posible controlar los bajos, la entrada de micrófono y el balance del audio.

Si la potencia es tu fin, los Razer Megalodon ofrecen un poco de ello: 200mW, con una frecuencia de respuesta de entre 20 y 20 Kz. Claro que como buen jugón seguro necesitarás comodidad, y para ello estos auriculares cuentan con almohadilla que te la brindará, a la vez que mejora su insonorización.

Razer ha anunciado que los auriculares Razer Megalodon estarán disponibles en las últimas semanas de este año, y su precio será de 139 euros.

Well, those are taken from the "box features".

Price of this baby: S$120 - S$140

What I liked about the keyboard:

• Really slim
• Black
• Cool blue backlight with option to turn it off
• TouchPanel keys
  • Media keys (Stop/Pause/Play/Forward/Rewind)
  • Volume control
  • Backlight option
• "Rubber-like" feeling of keys
• WASD cluster function
• Customizable media access keys to my favourite media player: WinAmp
• Anti-ghosting technology, which means more keys can be pressed at a time. Useful for gaming purposes
• Disabling of Windows key, which can be useful for gaming purposes

What I don't like about this keyboard:

• Lack multimedia keys such as Internet key, Sleep key etc
• Badly located USB/Microphone/Earphones jack, which is located behind the keyboard (above the TouchPanel area)
• Glossy black finish is a fingerprint magnet, but it gives off an "expensive look"
• The extended USB port also means you require additional USB port on your back panel (this device uses 2 USB, one for the keyboard, the other for the extended USB)
• The earphone/microphone jacks utilise your on board I/O jacks. Essentially, you can't use the earphone without plugging out your speakers first (if you're on a typical stereo soundcard)

So there you go. An honest review by me. Honestly, I could have wished that the USB/Microphone/Earphones jack were located on the side, meaning the cables won't interfere with your keyboard. However, placing the USB at the back can be advantageous if you're using wireless mouse/thumbdrive. Apart from that, I think it will be better suited at the side.

Also, I think if we can customise what keys to turn on with a custom profile would be cool. Although the WASD is good enough, I felt that if we could customise more, we could cater to our needs.

Apart from that, I felt that this keyboard is just a perfect match for my current CPU.

Auszüge aus dem Presserelease:

The Team Serious Gaming “Cypher” - ESWC '08 Commemorative Edition Razer DeathAdder was created to commemorate his championship title win at ESWC 2008 and comes emblazoned in Serious Gaming’s official blue insignias and is available with just 20 rare units with the ‘Serious.Razer.Cypher’ initial. The special one-off white edition Razer DeathAdder gaming mouse was chosen based on “Cypher’s” favorite colour, and will serve as reminders of his speed, precision and accuracy, the very hallmarks of Razer’s innovative gaming technology.

Quote from Razer’s president:
“As a company ‘For Gamers, By Gamers,’ we stand by our community and celebrate “Cypher’s” victory. We are proud to announce a commemorative edition Razer DeathAdder with Team Serious Gaming, a multi-gaming team from the Netherlands. Team Serious Gaming has enjoyed competitive success ever since its inception, and is, without question, one of the fastest growing eSports teams in Europe,” said Robert “Razerguy” Krakoff, president of Razer.

Quote from Alexey “Cypher” Yanusheuski:
“I would like to thank my sponsor, Razer, for commissioning this commemorative edition DeathAdder for me. Getting a mouse especially made for you is a big honor, especially since this is the first time Razer has done something like that. Winning ESWC 2008 has been a dream for me since I was 12 years old, and I can honestly say it was also thanks to the Razer equipment I used that I managed to become world champion for Quake 3,” said ‘Cypher”, winner of three major Quake titles in 2008 (ESWC Masters 2008, Quakecon 2008 and ESWC Grand Finals 2008).

Quote from Team Serious Gaming’s Manager:
“We are proud to have worked together with Team Razer to develop a commemorative Team Serious Gaming “Cypher” edition of the Razer DeathAdder. Serious Gaming considers Razer the leading brand in gaming gear, offering a wide range of top class mice, keyboards and headsets that fulfils the needs of all our players. We strongly believe the players and teams of Serious will be excellent ambassadors of the Razer brand. We look forward to our continued partnership!” noted Bas Peeperkorn, Team Serious Gaming’s Manager.

Das Team.Razer führte überdies auch gleich ein Interview (.pdf) mit ihrem Schützling, den ihr unter "Rest des Beitrags lesen" finden könnt.

Hi Cypher, firstly our heartiest congratulations on
your Quake 3 champion win in the recent ESWC
tournament. For those not so familiar with you could
you please introduce yourself.
Hi! My name is officially Aliaksei Yanushueski but my
friends call me Leha =). I live in Minsk, Belarus, and in
my normal life I go to university. I play Quake since I am
12 years old. My older brother played it, so watching him
made me play.

Tell us a cool place to go to in your hometown in
Minsk, Belarus.
This is a nice question =). Close to where I live in Minsk
there is a high public building (I don’t say which
otherwise my secret is gone +))) with a big roof you can
go onto. Nobody really knows this place, and it has an
amazing view over the city. I really like to go there and
sit and just look around.

Other than Quake 3 and gaming, what other interests do you have?
At this moment my girlfriend and also soon university will start. It is my first year in economics
school so I think that will cost me a lot of time in the future.

We heard that you’re going to Law university to study economics, is there a reason why
you chose economics?
Ha =)), actually I already kind of know in general what I want to do in the future, and I want to do
some things which provide an economics education.

Give us one interesting fact about yourself which the readers may not know...
They may not know, that sometimes, because of nerves when I am playing my practice matches I
can break my mouse, keyboard or headsets ;)), so don’t be angry if I might need something extra
sometimes +))).

Back to gaming, what kind of practice habits do you have, and how much do you train
each day or week?
Well, in general I like to play Quake which not every top player does. Of course playing a bit for
fun is different than real practice before an event, but still I keep playing which helps me. I always keep a certain shape. Before big events I always practice extra, sometimes with a boot camp or other LAN practice. In the future I hope Av3k, my team mate, and I can practice together.

When you played the Quakecon 2008 finals, were you
nervous about going up against Quakecon veteran
Zero4? Did you have any sort of plan or strategy to win?
I was not nervous that much…I like to play versus old school
players, I feel really comfortable to play against them
because of my style of playing. But I was a little bit worried
because we were playing on an American stage where
everybody was cheering for ZeRo4, fortunately that didn’t
work at all for him =).

Now about ESWC. First you won the Masters and later
also the Grand Finals. Which victory gave you a better
feeling and why?
Masters was my first win in a big tourney, but winning the
Grand Finals was a dream =)). So the Grand Finals are
more special to me.

What was your general opinion of ESWC finals event, and who was your toughest opponent?
Mmmm, In general the level was very high, and it was clear
prepared. Overall everyone was similar to each other and it was not really hard to play versus
them for me. Two players were really difficult for me: rapha and killsen. I think these two guys did
really a nice job this tourney =).

At the last minute before your ESWC championship match against Rapha, we heard you
did a last minute decision of changing your mouse pad to a Razer Goliathus Gaming Surface. Was there any particular reason and why did you decide to make that decision?
When we arrived in San Jose a few days before I had to play, Bas (Team Serious Gaming Manager) showed me these new mouse pads. He took some for other players from our team that also played at ESWC. When I saw them I really liked them so I asked if I could try one. I played
with it on the hotel room for 10 minutes and knew this was what I was going to play with. It is in
general a stupid thing to do (changing equipment prior to the grand finals), but for some reason I
just did it this one time, and without regrets.

What are the other Quake maps (other than T4 and ZTN) do you practice most on?
Well, I don’t really practice on certain maps. I think I can play every map good. Often in
tournaments you have to drop a map. Which maps I drop depends more on my opponent and which maps he is good at.

Quake 3 or Quake 4?
Quake 3 and in the near future Quake Live!!

The Quake scene has rippled due to the fact that you’re one of the youngest championship
title holders in Quake, do you have any advice for gamers your age who wish to go pro?
I think everyone who plays games and gets better, knows if he can be good enough to compete
in tournaments and get sponsorship. It is more if they also really want it. Doesn’t matter how
much talent you have, if you don’t practice you will not win big events. But this is no news.

What are you preparing for now after winning ESWC 2008?
Well now I will focus on normal things in life like education. There is a ‘secret event’ coming up at
the end of the year and for the rest we await the introduction of Quake Live. I will also play a
demonstration match in Moscow beginning November. Razer will be at an expo where I will do
promotional work. These are always nice things to do.

We developed a commemorative edition mouse for you without your knowledge; you can
blame Bas on that too ;) What are your thoughts on it?
Ye this was such a surprise!!! Bas was asking me for my signature all week but I was real busy.
Then a few days ago he showed me why he needed it =). It is so cool that Razer does this for me
as a present for winning ESWC. I feel honored that I’m the first one you guys do this for. The
color also is my favorite =), I love white mouse.

Any shout outs to the Cult of Razer (fans of Razer)?
Ye, of course another big thanks to you guys from Razer for making this mouse for me. It is a
great feeling to be supported by a company that does this kind of things!!! Also I want to thank my
team Serious for all their support.

FINALLY!

I WANT IT !!!

Cepat la release kat Malaysia!!!

Tapi, kalau mic teruk macam Barracuda.. dah la rm400.taknak beli lah!. Please razer! do not let me down again! or, or I'll switch to Sennheiser! dont-dare-dare-me-maaaaa!

*jgn la mahal sangat pleaseeee.. :D

ABUL

For handheld gaming I have a pair of Nintendo DS Lites and a PSP-2000. Moving farther afield in the mobile arena, I have an 8GB iPod Nano and a 32Gb iPod Touch.  All of these (and the consoles) are lovingly skinned in Dharma decals from Decal Girl.

I also have computer love. I am an avowed Mac fan, and do most of my site work on my 2.5 GHz 15" MacBookPro. That being said, I also have a Windows machine. That guy is a CyberpowerPC Gamer Ultra 5212 Athlon 64 X2 3.0GHz with 2GB RAM and a NVIDIA GeForce 8600 GT card running XP Pro 64. My monitor is a 22" Samsung SyncMaster 226BW (sadly with a glossy finish) and my speakers are the Bose 2.1 set.  For controls I have a Belkin Nostromo n52te Speedpad and The Limited Edition PAX '08 Razer DeathAdder mouse.

No, I'm not rich. My husband and I just tend to put all of our disposable income toward gaming, and have done so for the last three years.

Razer has now introduced it's newest sound peripherals, the Megalodon and Moray.

The Megalodon is a 7.1 Channel Surround Sound headset, which will retail for about $150.00.

The Moray is an in-ear headphones that will go for about $40.00.

Short post! Short post! I'm building a computer at the moment, I'll post specs later!

Initially was thinking of getting a Piranha / Barracuda myself, now I would say this is the combination of both Piranha and Barracuda.

I know it is going to cost quite a bit.

Let's see whether it worth the price once released:)

Razeri uute kõrvaklappide peamiseks märksõnaks on ruumilisus. Tegemist ei ole stereokõrvaklappidega. viimased oskavad eristada vaid seda, kas mingi heli tuleb paremalt või vasakult. Razer Megalodon esitab ka ülalt, alt, eest ja tagant tulevaid helisid nii, nagu neid kuuleksid meie kõrvad reaalses elus.

Razer Megalodon (Megalodon märgib kreeka keeles suurt, eelajaloolist haid) kõrvaklappide tähtsaimaks osaks on "Razer Maelstrom" audiomootor. Viimane võimaldab edastada helide loomiseks vajalikke algoritme koguni 800% kiiremini, kui senised samalaadsed tehnoloogiad.

Milleks seda vaja läheb? Kui mingi heli jõuab 800% kiiremini arvutist minu kõrvaklappidesse, kas see peaks siis tähendama, et ma kuulen heli juba enne, kui see tekib?

Nii see loomulikult ei ole. Megalodon kõrvaklapid ei tööta samal põhimõttel, nagu kodukinosüsteem või Razeri eelmised kõrvaklapid Barracuda HP-1, mis loovad kolmemõõtmelist heli, kasutades mitut kõlarit.

Razer Megalodon töötab hoopis teisiti. Kolmemõõtmelisus ei ole saavutatud ainuüksi paljude kõlarite lisamisega. Viimased on samuti olemas, neid aga toetab hoopis paindlikum ja tõetruumat esitlust pakkuv tehnoloogia - helilise ruumitaju loovad Razer Maelstromi edastatud algoritmid. Viimaste puhul on tegemist mitmeid korda keerulisemate ja seega ka suuremate andmemahtudega, mistõttu on 800% kiirem edastusvõime möödapääsmatu vajadus.

Razer Maelstrom audiomootor on arendatud sõjaväe audiotehnoloogia baasil mis oli algselt välja töötatud hävituslennukite pilootide tarvis. Viimased vajasid täpset informatsiooni selle kohta, millisest suunast on tulemas vaenlase väljatulistatud mürsk. Razer Megadlon kõrvaklappides kasutatav tehnoloogia põhineb sellelsamal platvormil kuid on veel enam edasiarendatud ning kohandatud mängurite vajadusi silmas pidades.

Megalodoni komplekti kuuluvad kõrvaklapid eemaldatavate ja pestavate padjanditega, seadistatav mikrofon ning kontrollpaneel. Viimast ühendab kõrvaklappidega 3,3 m pikkune juhe. Kontrollpaneelilt on lihtsalt ja kiiresti võimalik muuta iga helikanali parameetreid ning bassi ja mikrofoni seadeid.

Razer Megalodon kõrvaklapid tulevad turule käesoleva aasta lõpul ja saavad maksma veidi alla kahe ja poole tuhande krooni.

             
The second weapon I got was Lycosa so I could play late, late, late at night without lights on (go green they say). The keys light up beautifully for night time gaming and with a side touch pad I can control my volume in the dark. When I enjoyed my keyboard the most was playing late with my soon to be real guild, Casualties of WAR. I felt like I had two great guilds but I had to secretly not tell them about each other. I played a Witch Elf in Casualties of WAR. I thought the Witch Elf was a great DPS class but I was getting frustrated with the fist Dark Elf Public Quest. On the third stage a dragon comes down from the sky and all the melee classes have to sit there waiting as the casters bolt him out of the sky. I sent in a suggestion to Mythic for that one.

               
The last weapon I got was the Razer Barracuda, so I can listen to the cries of Order as I crush them. With the boom mic removable I can use it as plain headphones too. The sound was awesome tho. I could hear all the 5.1 surround sound making music in my ears. I didn't get a chance to use it in Ventrilo at all, but I hope to get years of WAR Ventrilo usage.

Again, I wanted to thank Happy Fun Guyz and Casualties of WAR for a great preview weekend. I had a blast with both guilds and I can't wait till Head Start to join the ranks of Casualties of WAR for good.

I've been playing a lot of video games, especially Jedi Academy. I'm trying to cram in as much fun stuff before school starts. I've also been working on my website, Intergalactic Toast. Oh yeah and I ordered a gaming mouse! I got the Razer DeathAdder, which is supposed to be state of the art. Unfortunately, it is scheduled to arrive one day before school starts.
Anyway, I have to go back to school on the 26th so there will probably be a huge downswing in my activeness (as if it could get any lower). 

See Ya!

Se trata de un ratón que puede llegar a tener bastantes similitudes con el Razer, aunque las coincidencias se deban en parte al hecho de contar ambas compañías con los mismos proveedores. Y ambos modelos tal vez queden bastante debajo del Microsoft SideWinder, tal vez el más glamoroso de los ratones para jugadores.

Con 2600dpi de resolución, el NZXT Avatar ofrece a los gamers buena sensibilidad para todo tipo de juegos, con una tasa de muestreo de 6400 fps, es decir dentro de los estándares ya vistos con los Razer.

En ambos laterales, la superficie de vinílica asegura máxima adherencia, algo que será sumamente necesario luego de unos cuantos minutos seguidos de estar jugando algún FPS.

Aún sin precio ni fecha de lanzamiento, aparece como una interesante opción al Razer, y seguramente más económico.

En este caso, en resumen el Avatar de la empresa NZXT, consta con algunas características interesantes, que dejaremos listadas a continuación:

* Diseño bastante llamativo
* Con cable, rueda e iluminación LED azul
* Resolución de 2600 dpi
* Tasa de muestreo de 6400 FPS
* Ambidiestro
* 7 botones que pueden ser personalizados
* Superficie con material que permite máxima adherencia
* Conexión por USB

Su diseño es tentador, y sobretodo lo será para los zurdos, que normalmente son olvidados por los fabricantes de periféricos para juegos.

Anyways to the chase:

First up is my mouse. After review reading and brief trials in-store,with various mice, I landed on the Razer DeathAdder mouse. In the past I’ve used various cheap Logitechs and a Logitech MX-510.

After a few months of use, my thoughts are very simple. It is comfortable for me, it does what I want feature-wise and sensitivity-wise. (For features all I typically need is 2 buttons, scroll, and high sensitivity. And of coarse its MUST be right-handed)

The fact this mouse has 2 extra buttons, vast setting and binding adjustments, and lights-up is just extra to me.After getting used to it I now no longer use a “Claw” grip when gaming.

My only problems with it are very minor, the glossy black bottom portion of the mouse tends to hold dirt,finger-prints, dead skin, grease ETC. No big deal a frequent cleaning and its gold.

My Rating: 5/5

Cost I payed: $79.95 + Tax Canadian
