G-Skill, known for their memory products, has finally ventured into the peripherals market with a full line of gaming gear. This move was expected, given their ties within the gaming industry. The company showcased two headsets at Computex: the SR nine ten, featuring real surround sound 7.1 design with five drivers on each earcup. The headset boasts transparent pieces to reveal the drivers inside, angled for proper acoustics. It will also be released in a stereo version with virtual surround sound utilizing Dolby Pro Logic.
The headset's fit is designed with flexibility, using a one-size-fits-all type mount. However, some found it to be slightly heavy, and suggested that an additional resistive headband would improve the comfort level. The earpads are really nice and soft, deep enough to prevent hitting drivers inside. A retractable microphone is also included in this design, allowing for a low-profile look. The headset features a USB dongle for real surround sound, enabling users to change the volume of each channel.
The stereo version of the SR nine ten will be priced under $100, while the 7.1 model will retail around $150. G-Skill also introduced a mechanical keyboard, the Ripjaws KM 780, utilizing MX Cherry RGB keys and multi-lighting mode. The left side of the keyboard features macro keys, and the soft rubberized palm rest is removable, reminiscent of their previous texture designs. There are all the media controls with a volume wheel and a volume meter on the right side, which includes audio pass-through for a convenient listening experience.
The back of the keyboard has an interesting feature: it grabs your mouse cable and reroutes it along the motherboard cable for a cleaner setup. The RGB switches will be accompanied by MX Browns and Reds, but pricing and competitive lighting features are what will make this keyboard stand out in the saturated market. Lastly, G-Skill introduced the MX 780 mouse, blending elements from Logitech Roccat and Razor mice.
The MX 780 incorporates modular magnetic bits on the side that can be replaced to change the size and shape of the mouse. The rear portion can be raised with an Allen key, allowing for individual adjustment of lighting zones. This mouse will utilize the highly regarded Avago 9800 sensor, which is well-regarded within the gaming community. While we didn't have the opportunity to try all the modular parts of this mouse, it remains an appealing option due to its unique design.
G-Skill's entry into the peripherals market marks a significant step for the company. With these innovative products, they are well-positioned to compete with other established brands in the industry.

you so g.skill is now in the peripherals game they are known for their memory but knowing their ties within the gaming industry it was just a matter of time until they finally release a full gaming set of gear the two headsets on display at computex were the SR nine ten that is the real surround sound 7.1 design with five drivers on each earcup and I'm sure gaming companies love to experiment with lighting so we see transparent pieces to reveal the drivers inside that are angled for proper acoustics or these we're told and they will also be releasing a stereo version with virtual surround sound utilizing Dolby Pro Logic as for the fit itself the headband is flexible they decided to go with the one size fits all type mount the SR nine ten was a little heavy for me and I told them having more resistive headband would allow the headband to hold the headset and not have all the pressure being held by your ears but the earpads are really nice and soft they were also deep enough to not worry about hitting drivers inside there is a retractable microphone I love this low-profile design and the USB dongle for the real surround sound model that lets you change the volume of each channel and from my initial play with a stereo version i love the bass response but like with any gaming headset i'd want to first give this a proper rundown and also pricing we are told will be competitive so under one hundred dollars for the stereo version and around 150 for the real 7.1 g.skill also introduced a mechanical keyboard the ripjaws km 780 utilizing MX cherry RGB keys and multi lighting mode of course on the left side there's a set of macro keys and the soft rubberized palm rest is removable reminds me of course their texture that feels really good on the right side there are all the media controls with volume wheel and the volume meter that I actually appreciate so you don't blast the volume as it has audio pass through and the back along on the USB jack I found this clip on the side of the keyboard really interesting it sort of grabs your mouse cable and reroutes it along the motherboard cable for a totally cleaner setup and aside from the RGB switches will also have MX Browns and reds but aside from that it will really come down to pricing and maybe competitive lighting features for the new ripjaws keyboard to stand out within a very saturated keyboard market right now and lastly is the MX 780 mouse that is a mix between a Logitech roccat and razor incorporating these modular magnetic bits on the side that you can replace to change the size and the shape of the mouse the rear portion can be raised with an allen key and all for lighting zones can be individually adjusted it will use the avago 9800 sensor it is a highly regarded sensor within the gaming community and while we didn't have all the modular portions of the mouse the MX 780 is certainly appealing in that way so make sure to subscribe as we will have full reviews of all these products as
