ROCCAT Kain Series
ROCCAT Kain is an all-new series of PC gaming mice born from the vision of
creating the best “click” and aimed to deliver maximum precision performance.
Not only does the series introduce ROCCAT’s innovative Titan Click – an all-new mechanism that registers the click signal
up to 16 milliseconds faster than other mice making it the most responsive
mouse on the market, but it also delivers “all the feels.” Even before
plugging-in the Kain mouse, gamers
will immediately notice the impressive shape. Combined with a weight of 89
grams the Kain mice offer exceptional
grip and ergonomics. Adding its lightning-fast response time, the Kain series mice are sure to give PC
gamers an advantage.
PC gamers will have three models of
the Kain mouse to choose from – both
wired and wireless. The entry-level Kain 100 AIMO provides
gamers with rubber side grips for maximum control and 8500 DPIs. The step-up Kain
120 AIMO features a unique hybrid anti-wear
performance coating which is durable, dirt resistant, grippy and feels great to
touch. The Kain 120 also features the updated Owl-Eye sensor offering up
to 16K DPIs. Available in Ash Black
and Arctic White, the Kain family starts at a competitive MSRP
of $49.99/ €49.99 for the Kain 100 AIMO, with the upgraded
sensor variant Kain 120 AIMO available at $69.99/€69.99. The Kain
100 AIMO and Kain 120 AIMO are planned to launch
at retail in September 2019. Additionally, the wireless Kain 200 AIMO
will offer PC gamers the cable-free version of its newest technology at a MSRP
of $99.99/€99.99 and is planned to be available this winter.
ROCCAT
Vulcan 121 and 122 PC Gaming Keyboards
ROCCAT’s original Vulcan
120 AIMO PC gaming keyboard introduced their proprietary Titan Switch Tactile mechanical switch and has become one of the top
three best-selling gaming keyboards in Germany, as well as a best-selling
product in its price tier. The Vulcan’s
design was also recognized by winning the 2019 iF Design Award for its product
category. At Gamescom 2019 ROCCAT will be showing off two variants, including
the Ash Black Vulcan
121 AIMO with its all-new Titan Switch
Speed. Following the success of the Titan
Switch Tactile introduced with the original Vulcan keyboard, ROCCAT now offers a new, even faster option. Built
for speed, the Titan Switch Speed
boasts a shortened 1.4mm actuation point (2.8mm travel distance) which helps it
react over 30% faster than standard switches, pushing the boundaries of speed
without sacrificing precision. The switches are actuated with a hefty 45g of
force to minimize accidental key presses, making the keyboard perfect for
gaming. Additionally, completing its current Ash Black and Arctic
White theme, ROCCAT will officially unveil
the Vulcan
122 AIMO – which is the Arctic
White version of the award-winning Vulcan 120. All variants of the Vulcan 120s will retail for a MSRP
of $159.99/€159.99.
ROCCAT
Sense AIMO
ROCCAT’s Sense mousepad also joins the AIMO
family to make the lighting ecosystem bigger and better than ever before, for
an even more immersive experience. Its soft cloth surface of 353x256x3.5 mm is
bordered by a vivid RGB light guide with two programmable zones. The Sense
AIMO
Pad will be available in early September 2019 at participating
retailers for a MSRP of $39.99/€39.99.
