Posted in: Today's Chili

BMW And Thermaltake To Work Together AgainWho would that thought that automotive company BMW has managed to cobble together some of their engineers to work alongside Thermaltake in the past, coming up with the decadent Level 10 M mouse along the way? Well, it seems that their previous partnership brought nothing but good memories between the two, which is why both Thermaltake and BMW will be having another go, sporting the all new Level 10 M headset which does share some of the design DNA in previous releases, sporting bold and aggressive lines alongside very little soft curves.

Eye catching does seem to be the mantra here, which is a strong point considering how competitive the marketplace can be. Of course, there would be other folks out there who would have preferred a more understated design, and something that does not look so “in your face”. Ah well, different strokes for different folks! The Level 10 M headset will arrive in a couple of flavors, with the first batch boasting 3.5mm audio connectivity, while there is the DTS Surround Sound Headphone-model that will arrive as USB only, which should cost approximately $200 when released.

Posted in: Today's Chili

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.

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.
