Philips has been selling PC monitors for a while now, and at this year's Computex, the grand old Dutch company unveiled its first gaming-grade peripherals. This includes LED-backlit mechanical keyboards (both full-size and tenkeyless), and four different kinds of ergonomic gaming mice. The SPK8601BHSC and SPK8901SQWC are tenkeyless (87-key) keyboards. The former has a matte-black plastic bezel, and amber illumination, while the latter has silvery brushed aluminium bezel, and white LED illumination. Both keyboards feature "blue" mechanical switches (likely Cherry MX).
The full-size mechanical gaming keyboard lineup includes the SPK8401SQM, SPK8401SHW, SPK8401BHM, and the SPK8801. The SPK8401SQM features silvery brushed aluminium bezel, white keycaps, RGB LED backlighting, and Blue mechanical switches; the SPK8401SHW is its cheaper twin with white LED illumination instead of RGB. The SPK8401BHM has black brushed aluminium bezel, black keycaps, RGB illumination and Blue switches, the SPK8801 is its twin with white keycaps instead of black.
Moving on to the mice, and we find four unique designs that share no elements from each other: SPK9403, SPK9842, SPK9401W, and SPK9212. The SPK9403 features a large footprint, and a right palm-grip optimized design, with a gray rubberized sides blending with a glossy white fascia. You get 8 buttons, a 4,000 dpi optical sensor, 20 million click endurance, and 145 g fixed weight. The SPK9842 has a wacky, asymmetric design that lets your right thumb in on more of the action. It packs a 16,400 dpi sensor, 7 programmable buttons, and 150 g fixed weight. The SPK9401W has the same innards as the SPK9403, but a less flabby outer design that's inviting to claw-grip. An RGB LED diffuser accentuates the bottom half. Lastly, there's the SPK9212, which is probably the cheapest of the lot, with its ambidextrous design, 2,800 dpi sensor, and 120 g fixed weight.
