blackwidow-ultimateWhen we think about mechanical gaming keyboards that are of calibre, most of the time we would turn to tried and tested names such as Razer. Razer revives the Blackwidow gaming keyboard by adding in water- and dust-resistant capabilities, hence earning it the moniker of the Razer BlackWidow Ultimate mechanical gaming keyboard. This keyboard that was created specially for gamers have been redesigned in order to be more resilient, boasting of an IP54 rating in order to keep it protected against any kind of accidental water spillage or harmful dust particles.

Of course, gaming can be a difficult task, especially when you spend hours in a marathon session. Hence, it makes perfect sense to have some drinks nearby, but during your frenetic session, you might accidentally knock over that glass containing soda or water all over the place. Normal keyboards would normally be consigned to the rubbish heap after such an accident, but not the Razer BlackWidow Ultimate as it will keep on going.

Expect to be awed by its individually backlit keys, where each green LED can be customized via Razer’s Synapse software. This would result in a wide range of dynamic lighting effects that will comprise of Wave, Ripple, Reactive, and Starlight, among others. Gamers will also gain the ability to create different kinds of lighting profiles courtesy of the advanced lighting effect configurator. In addition, this gaming keyboard is equipped with the Razer Green Switch that has a rated lifespan of up to 80 million keystrokes. In other words, you would most probably still be able to game with this keyboard many years down the road after several hardware upgrade cycles as though it was just unpacked from its box.

The Razer Blackwidow Ultimate mechanical gaming keyboard will come with an asking price of $109.99 and is available worldwide in the final quarter of the year.

razer-naga-trinityIt is safe to say that Razer has a monopoly on gaming peripherals quite unlike anyone else. After all, this is the company that has churned out winner after winner when it comes to gaming hardware, be it the mouse, keyboard or headphones. In fact, Razer has come up with gaming laptops that are right there with the very best of them, and we are glad to bring word that the Razer Naga Trinity gaming mouse has just been announced. This is one customizable mouse that is capable of adapting itself to a slew of games as well as playing styles, making sure that regardless of the game genre or playing style you have, the Razer Naga Trinity will be able to take it all in its stride while offering a way to invoke a higher degree of performance in your gaming.

The Razer Naga Trinity takes pride in being the ninth iteration of the best-selling Razer Naga collection, and this modular mouse will boast of a trio of interchangeable side plates. First of all, you will most probably be familiar with the iconic original 12-button thumb grid of the Razer Naga Chroma that has been specially designed to cater for MMO titles such as World of Warcraft. Alternatively, there is the seven-button thumb wheel of the Razer Naga Hex V2 which is perfect for MOBA and hack-and-slash titles including Heroes of the Storm and Diablo III. Last but not least, there is an all-new two-button configuration that delivers a minimalistic feel, making it ideal for general use. We would dare venture that the Razer Naga Trinity would be a waste when it sees action in an office environment though.

With the 12-button configuration, gamers have access up to 19 programmable keys for customization. It also boasts of an improved sensor compared to its predecessors, featuring a 5G, true 16,000 dots-per-inch (DPI) optical sensor alongside 450 IPS that can deliver faster and more accurate mouse movements.

Razer Core V2 makes for an instant gaming laptop

Posted by Jack on in core v2, Gaming Gadgets, PC Gadgets, razer, razer core v2, thunderbolt

razer-core-v2When one talks about laptops, the general idea is this: laptops are not meant to function as a gaming machine, unless stated otherwise. The thing about gaming laptops is this, they tend to be rather bulky and are great power guzzlers due to the kind of powerful hardware packed underneath the hood. Razer decided that you can have the best of both worlds through the introduction of the Razer Core V2. The Razer Core V2 is able to transform highly mobile Thunderbolt 3 laptops into a portable, desktop-class gaming machine where all it requires would be a solitary Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) connection in order to hook up your existing laptop to this graphics enclosure.

Chances are, after you have hooked up the Razer Core V2 to your laptop, the bottleneck would no longer be in the video card department. Rather, it would most probably be the processor, hard drive, or even lack of memory that causes gaming performance to drop. We say this because the Razer Core V2 boasts of the world’s first dual Thunderbolt 3 internal controller design which will sport separate lanes for graphics and connected devices, delivering fluid gameplay. This external graphics enclosure will be accompanied by a quartet of USB 3.0 ports as well as Gigabit Ethernet in order to hook up a wide range of different peripherals.

Made from a block of durable raw aluminum, the chassis is CNC precision milled in order to deliver a very compact form factor. It comes with its own 500W power supply in order to deliver a right amount of power when it comes to graphics and connected devices, while extra cooling fans have been built into the design to help dispense heat quickly in order to achieve an optimal level of performance. It can fit an expanded range of taller graphics cards, including support for the NVIDIA GeForce 10 series and AMD Radeon 500 series with XConnect technology. The Razer Core V2 will retail for $499 apiece and is currently available for purchase.

MSI Vortex G25 is a small form factor gaming beast

Posted by Jack on in Gaming Gadgets, MSI, msi vortex g25, PC Gadgets, vortex g25, vortex g25 gaming desktop

vortex-g25When it comes to gaming, one very important element that most people would take into consideration first would be the kind of hardware that the gaming PC packs underneath the hood. The case itself might look really, really pretty, but if it does not have any high performance parts within, it would amount to nothing, either. MSI knows this, which is why they have come up with the Vortex G25 gaming desktop that will not only be able to deliver the level of performance that hardcore gamers crave, it will also look good without taking up too much space on your desk.

The Vortex G25 is not a conventional gaming desktop, courtesy of its small form factor setup. Taking it apart, it will be powered by an 8th generation Intel Core i7 processor, with the ability to handle up to a GTX 1070 graphics card, all within a 2.5-liter chassis. Now that is really compact, no matter which angle you are looking from. Apart from that, the Vortex G25 gaming desktop will also boast of MSI’s Cooler Boost Titan technology that will feature dual blade fans that work in tandem with eight heatpipes. This setup will be able to ensure proper cooling of the CPU and GPU, which in turn provides a 30% performance gain compared to the previous generation of processors.

One of the main reasons for developing the Vortex G25 is to have it function as a gateway for portable and convenient VR experiences. The front panel itself features a power jack which can help to power connected VR headsets, while there is also an HDMI port and a couple of USB 3.0 ports in terms of connectivity. MSI’s very own Nahimic VR software will be able to optimize performance and virtual surround sound so that the whole virtual reality experience is even more immersive.

Expect the MSI Vortex G25 to retail for $1,999 and $1,499 for the Vortex G25-022US and the Vortex G25-023US, respectively.
