OcUK Staff
Hi all,
(Those who just want the competition skip to the bottom of this post
)
A while ago Roccat approached OcUK to be relisted, and because at OcUK we want to give our customers the best products; we first asked for some sample products to check that the quality had improved since last we had them listed. The first they showed us was the Suora:
Roccat SUORA - Frameless Mechanical Gaming Keyboard, Blue LED Backlit - Mechanical Brown Switches (ROC-12-202) @ £79.99 inc VAT https://www.overclockers.co.uk/Rocc...it-Mechanical-Brown-Switches-R-KB-04C-RC.html
Roccat are back with a grown up and stylish keyboard. The SUORA is great for part-time or hardcore gamers and looks brilliant with ROCCAT Blue LED backlighting.
Only £79.99 inc VAT.
ORDER NOW
The product impressed us at first simply because it looked like a grown ups keyboard. With some of Roccats older products they looked too "Gamer", but when I saw the Suora it was already a sign that Roccat are moving in the right direction. The Roccat blue LED lighting is cool and the shape and form is reminiscent of more expensive keyboards. I used this alongside my Apex M500 for about a month and while there was a difference in quality, the price point of the Suora is lower and so I have to call it a draw.
The next one we had was the Nyth:
ROCCAT Nyth Modular MMO 1200 DPI Laser Gaming Mouse - Black (INT-ROC-11-900) @ £89.99 inc VAT https://www.overclockers.co.uk/ROCC...ing-Mouse-Black-INT-ROC-11-900-KB-04E-RC.html
The Roccat Nyth is a highly customisable MMO mouse with tons of features and support to make sure you are never scrambling around to hit your rotations and letting your party down
Only £89.99 inc VAT.
ORDER NOW
One of my colleagues tried out this mouse and was smitten with it. He immediately approached me within about half an hour of having it at his desk and asking me how much he could buy it for. He was that impressed with it.
Similarly I used a Kone XTD at work and took it home that night. The mouse wheel issues that plagued Roccat before have now disappeared. The mouse wheel is so over engineered I think that after a nuclear winter all that would be left on the face of the earth are thousands of Roccat mouse wheels:
ROCCAT Kone XTD Max Customisation 8200DPI Pro Aim R3 Laser Sensor PC Gaming Mouse. @ £69.95 inc VAT https://www.overclockers.co.uk/ROCC...-Laser-Sensor-PC-Gaming-Mouse.-KB-04D-RC.html
The Roccat XTD Kone is a highly customisable gaming mouse with tons of personalisation and customisation options. For hardcore gamers Roccat have made a mouse with performance and style.
Only £69.95 inc VAT.

With the price points of the two mice above not being quite "entry level" I asked to look at a mouse with a lower price point, the best they showed us was the Kiro:
ROCCAT Kiro Modular Ambidextrous 4000DPI Optical Gaming Mouse @ £39.95 inc VAT https://www.overclockers.co.uk/ROCC...s-4000DPI-Optical-Gaming-Mouse-KB-04B-RC.html
Meet the Kiro - the bigger brother of the Lua. With its highly modular - super dextrous build - the game has been changed for ambidextrous mice
Only £39.95 inc VAT.
ORDER NOW
A colleague of mine took it away for a couple of days and tried out different combinations of it's modular build to try and find a combination that suited him. Although in the end he couldn't find a comfy grip for himself he said the mouse performed really well and if he had thinner hands it probably would have suited him.
At this point I had already decided that we were going to re-list Roccat and so asked for a headset and a couple of gaming surfaces to list (because we all know there are tech heads out there who like the collar to match the cuffs). I use a pair of QPAD QH-1339's which rank amongst some of the best headphones I've ever used, and so I sometimes find it difficult to objectively appreciate cheaper sets. The Kave's though are built really solidly and perform well for the price. They also look really nice and I like how the LED on the mic boom lit up my face. I can see late night skype conversations with the bedroom light off or streaming in a darker room it would be really useful. The gaming surfaces are what most gaming surfaces are but I have listed a few sizes so that people have a choice to fit their desks:
