Spectre: The ugliest mouse to come out in a while, it reminds me of mice found in the days when ball instead of optical is still the way to go.
Maurauder: Looks quite good but at €119, I would rather get a G15 Banshee: Logitech G35? |

Looks is a matter of preference.

Thanks but no thanks. Razer is one of the most overpriced brands for the quality you get.

The mouse - Looks awfully anti-ergonomic and in general just looks crap.
The keyboard - Looks good, I like it. If only it wasn't designed for SC2 The headset - Gaming headsets are bullshit. Period. I'm interested in what this APM feature is like and how it works. |

Why would anyone pay $120 for a keyboard? I paid $30 (US) for a wireless keyboard/mouse combo and love it. This is silly.

Going? More like already nearing the bottom. They've been going downhill since the original Copperhead.

The main selling points of these seems to be "ooh, pretty lights".
I don't buy things for the pretty lights. They seem to be putting more work into filling their feature list with buzzwords than the actual features themselves. |
