Starcraft II Gear from Razer!

Razer has put out some spectacular gear in the past years and the Starcraft II gear is just another example of that. The Razer company has developed a SC2 headset, mouse, and keyboard. Let’s not waste any time and jump right into the details.

Banshee Headset
The first thing I noticed about these headsets was the SC2 logo on the side with a blue glow to them. Let me tell you a little something about this glow, Razer has implemented an Actions Per Minute (APM) lighting system. This means that these headphones will calculate your APM while you are playing SC2 and change the color of glow based on your APM! They also added an in-game sound and color alert which you can customize to what color the glow will be whether you are getting attacked or your units have completed! Pretty amazing if you ask me.

Now the look of the actual headphones look a lot like the Tritton AXPro. This actually worries me because if you take a look at the material used it looks like plastic, and with plastic it has a good chance of breaking fairly easy. Another thing that I saw that I did not like was it appears that they added sound and mic button controls to the back of the actual headphones. (shown in the picture below)

Having buttons on the back of the headphones will be quite annoying if you have to reach up to your headset to either turn up the mic volume or turn the game sound down. Hopefully Razer adds a control for the volume and mic on the actual seven foot long USB cable. The headsets come with a detachable boom mic which is really nice if you do not want a mic in front of your face all the time. The thing I do not like about the mic is that it is straight and it does not look like you can bend it to your liking. If your teammates cannot hear you, you have no option to bring the mic closer to your mouth. Overall though the headsets look great and at a reasonable $119.99 these are a great buy.

Spectre Mouse
Again, as mentioned up above, the Spectre mouse also has the APM color system added to it. This mouse has five button controls along side with a 1000hz Ultrapooling to increase the response time in your clicks to help manage your micro and commands, which is eight times faster than the average gaming mice. Razer has added a ‘force click’ option to the left-click button to allow you to manage your control and speed. You basically can set it to the slightest click will select a single unit or swipe over many units quickly and efficiently. This mouse goes for $79.99 and is another amazing tool to improve your SC2 game.

Marauder Keyboard
Last but not least is the Marauder keyboard. This keyboard has some great attributes to it. First thing I liked was they added a travel-distance, spacing to the keys to allow you to do faster commands. Another thing that impressed me was the fact that they added a macro recording system. This will allow you to have your keys already set up so you do not have to set them up every single game. It also can save up to ten different profiles for when you play different races, have friends over, etc. The keyboard also comes with the amazing APM color system. The Marauder keyboard sells for $119.99 and is a must have.

Razer has not yet announced any release date for these items to come out but you can sign up to have them email you as soon as they announce it. Having these three items will greatly improve your SC2 skills and the experience you have while playing will blow you away!
