Razer releases DeathAdder 2013 gaming mouse with 6400dpi

Razer has always been a maker of premiere gaming peripherals, especially their mice. One of the biggest features of their gaming mice are the high dpi ratings (dots per inch) of the sensors. Most of their mice have over 3000dpi sensors, but their newest DeathAdder mouse has a whopping 6400dpi, making it the most precise mouse on the planet.

Razer is simply calling the new mouse the “DeathAdder 2013,” and it packs in a 6400dpi optical sensor, compared to the 3500dpi infrared sensor of its predecessor. It’s just in time for Call of Duty: Black Ops II, and we can’t help but think that dedicated gamers who are wanting the slightest edge over their competition will want this new mouse.

Then again, we could only see the 6400dpi being useful for those intense gamers who might be able to tell the difference when gaming, but for everyday users, the DeathAdder 2013 (as well as pretty much any Razer product), might be a bit overkill for your purposes. The black and lime green color scheme is pretty cool, though.

However, the new DeathAdder 2013 costs $70, which is only $10 more than its predecessor, which means that if you’re in the market for a new Razer DeathAdder, you’d be stupid not to go for the extra dpi for only $10 more. Any way you look at it, 6400dpi is a lot of dots, and we’re really curious to see how much more accurate it is over inferior sensors.

Razer's ambidextrous Ouroboros mouse now shipping, ready to placate lefthanded gamers

Had your eye on Razer’s symmetrical gaming mouse? Peek at your email — the firm’s online storefront is quietly tipping customers that the Ouroboros is now shipping. Much like that other transforming rodent, the Ouroboros can change its shape by extending its palm rest or swapping out select components to favor specific grip styles. If your favored grip happens to be southpaw, don’t sweat it — this tail-chewing snake is designed to fit both of your mitts comfortably. The price of a left-handed fit isn’t cheap, however, but the mouse’s $130 asking price includes 11 programmable buttons, a dual sensor system topping out at 8,200 DPI and a charging dock. Check out our Gamescom hands-on to see how it fit in our hands, or skip on over to the source link to take in Razer’s official spiel.

Roccat launches Kone XTD and Pure models

German computer peripherals manufacturer Roccat is most famous for their range of gaming mice and keyboards, and this time around, they have introduced a couple of new models for the masses – the Roccat Kone XTD and Pure models. Both mice will continue to retain the famous Kone form factor, features as well as performance, where the Roccat Pure will boast of a profile that is 9% slimmer than before while sporting a new Roccat Titan Wheel and Click Master switch tech. Hey, if you are in the market for a new mouse (or two), you might as well see what Roccat has to offer and who knows, it might just prove to be a union with your hand that you will not regret.

The Roccat Kone XTD has been dubbed by some to be the “Max Customization Gaming Mouse”, while the Roccat Kone Pure is known as the “Core Performance Gaming Mouse”, where both of the new mice should have already hit Europe since October 26th onwards, while folks living in North America as well as Asia will only be on the receiving end of them before December rolls around.

In terms of performance, we are looking at world beaters here, where you will be able to experience a fully-adjustable 8200 DPI ProAim R3 laser sensor that boasts of a whopping 41 DPI settings that range from 200 to 8200, in addition to a 32-bit Turbo Core V2 72MHz ARM MCU processor, 576KB of on-board memory, as well as what Roccat deems to be the most advanced Tracking & Distance Control Unit in the world. All of the components are said to function in clockwork unison, delivering the world’s most impressive speed, control and accuracy. Of course, all of the above mentioned might just be marketing speak, and even if it is true, you will still need to give either mouse a test run before you agree with the conclusions.

After all, a gaming mouse is a very personal piece of equipment, and different gamers play games differently, so the way they wield their mice is not the same as the gamer sitting next to them.

BMW and Thermaltake come up with Level 10 M Gaming Mouse

So you think you have got quite a mean looking gaming mouse for your setup, do you? What if I told you that another mouse in question is one that what been concocted by the very same people who brought you the Bimmer (or Beemer, depending on which side of the fence you are on). Yes sir, a branch from the automotive giant, BMW Group DesignworksUSA has teamed up with Thermaltake to introduce the Level 10 M gaming mouse. As you can tell by the image above, it definitely is a looker from all angles, but the thing is this – how does it hold up against the rest of the highly competitive gaming hardware crowd? Let us take a closer look after the jump, shall we?

The unique thing about the Level 10 M gaming mouse is the fact that it resembles an extremely small racecar, boasting every designer’s mantra where form ultimately follows function. The outer chassis itself comprises of a two-part construction, where the upper half does seem to float above the base as though by magic, but make no mistake about it – it is technology that holds the entire thing together.

Constructed using an alloy that is also used in aeronautics and architecture, Level 10 M is lightweight and ultimately, remains immune to corrosive effects. The top segment can even be individually adjusted for height and lateral inclination, where the mouse itself will also come with a bunch of keys, now how about that, so that you are able better to “deliver the goods” so to speak in a highly competitive environment.

What’s great hardware without equally stunning software? Nothing, right? Which is why the software that comes with this puppy is also able to read out DPi-rates for gaming visuals. The holes drilled in the upper shell serves are not there just for aesthetic purposes, but rather, to help ventilate your palms during an intense gaming session, to make sure that you maintain a perfect grip at all times. As a bonus, the mouse can be illuminated in 7 different colors for that added touch of class.

The Level 10 M comes with on-the-fly adjustable DPI from 800, 1600, 3200 to 5000 (default setting), and customizable by software application up to 8200 DPI. It will retail for $99 a pop.

Level 10 M gaming mouse from Thermaltake and BMW DesignworksUSA is very real

Now, a BMW that I can finally afford without having to sell off my firstborn – the Level 10 M gaming mouse that hails from Thermaltake and BMW Designworks USA. We talked about it earlier this year, and it seems that the Level 10 M gaming mouse has finally made the jump from concept to the real world. Just what kind of hardware do you think you can find underneath the chassis? We are looking at five programmable keys as well as a Z-key which allows you to select the corresponding gaming profile on the spot, sporting a default 5,000 DPI in its optical unit, although if the need arises and you have to cover more ground on the screen with the least amount of hand movement, you can always change that figure up to 8,200.

Aesthetically speaking, the Level 10 M gaming mouse does look as though it has out of this world performance – no idea if it will come with the tagline of “the ultimate mousing machine” or whether joy beckons, but definitely the holes drilled in the top of the mouse are not just there for aesthetic purposes, but rather to ensure you will continue to maintain a firm grip on it even if your palm sweats buckets during an intense gaming session. We are looking at a $100 price tag attached to the Level 10 M gaming mouse that boasts of a solid aluminum base and 3D Steering Axis Movement. Want to up your game with this puppy? Grab another look at the Level 10 M gaming mouse right after the jump. [Press Release] (more…)

BMW and Thermaltake’s Level 10 M gaming mouse is real, costs $100

BMW

Thermaltake and BMW DesignworksUSA’s Level 10 M gaming mouse has made the transition from concept to reality. Unlike its teasing appearance in January, the unit now has some real-world specifications, including five programmable keys and a Z-key that’ll change your gaming profile on the fly. The optical unit’s DPI was a closely guarded secret, but the companies have confirmed it’ll default to 5,000, but can be tweaked up to 8,200 if you need it. Sweaty-palmed gamers will appreciate the holes drilled in the top, preventing your secretions from loosing your grip from the handset. It’s available right now for $100, just make sure you’ve worked out if you’re gonna call it a “Beemer” or “Bimmer” before you buy — and yes, we’re resolutely in the former camp.

Update: Well, this is odd. The image above was supplied by BMW (give or take the odd creative addition), but Thermaltake’s version, included after the break, makes the unit look very different indeed.
