Often on streams we notice that the presenter uses one set of gaming peripherals. That is, keyboard, mouse, headset, mat – all from one brand. Some of the commentators write something sacred for YouTube: “Yeah, I’ve sold out!” Some people think that this is done for the sake of fashion and beautiful design. But in fact, there is a sense in collecting a “full set” from one manufacturer, and quite a lot. Today we will talk about this using the example of the current line of Epic Gear gaming accessories.
Epic Gear Thunderouz
The thunderous stereo headset Thunderouz features very deep and detailed sound thanks to very large 50mm drivers and an EG-Amplifier. The Epic Gear Thunderouz also features a mechanical Music-to-Game audio switch, as music headphones should sound different than gaming headphones.
You can wear the Epic Gear Thunderouz on your head for a very long time, as these are closed-type headphones with full-size soft ear pads with a “memory effect”. That is, the ear pads fit under the structure of the ears, keep their shape and do not press. The headband is also made of soft materials and does not compress the upper part of the owner’s head.
The durable 4mm thick X-braided cable is highly kink resistant and easily handles any household adventure. Its length is three meters, so you can walk away from the computer with the headset on your head.
The headset has a high-quality flexible microphone for chats on Discord or TeamSpeak, which is easily turned off if you lift it up. Very convenient if you need to abruptly cut off the connection. The microphone is unidirectional, so it practically does not pick up extraneous sounds.
And just now we’ll notice that the Epic Gear Thunderouz also has a backlight. LEDs are built into the outside of the earcups. There is also a touch panel that switches backlight modes. Thus, the Epic Gear Thunderouz headset sounds very good, fits well on the head, is reliable and looks beautiful. An excellent combat assistant for any gamer!
Epic Gear Morph
The Morpha manipulator was named for its ability to adapt to the tastes of the owner. The mouse comes with a set of four weights, each weighing 5 grams. With their help, a 110-gram “rodent” can fatten up to 130 grams – especially for those who are accustomed to heavy manipulators.
The shape of the mouse is symmetrical, but the company emphasizes that the Epic Gear Morpha is aimed specifically at right-handers. This is explained by the fact that it has two buttons on the left side that fit perfectly under the thumb of the right hand.
Morpha has a total of seven buttons with durable switches, six of which can be reconfigured in a proprietary program. Macros are supported. Supports simultaneous configuration of five game profiles for different games. Also adjustable are snap angles, lift distance with automatic calibration, button highlighting, DPI, game profiles, USB response time and, of course, RGB LED backlighting. Moreover, each game profile can have its own illumination style.
The mouse is equipped with a high-quality optical sensor with support for 6400 DPI and its firmware (yes, now even mice need to be firmware) provides very high cursor positioning accuracy and sensitivity. It’s also interesting that one of the Epic Gear Morpha’s buttons is responsible for locking the DPI, meaning you can’t accidentally switch it while playing.
In fact, the Epic Gear Morpha manipulator is great for perfectly adapting to the tastes of the owner, and then not letting him down at a critical moment.
Epic Gear Defiant
The Epic Gear Defiant mechanical keyboard looks more like a transformer from science fiction films than a gaming accessory. This is because it is completely customizable and has a bunch of additional modules for resting your arms, hands, digital pad, etc.
Defiant is an almost eternal keyboard, since the modular-matrix structure of EGMMS mechanical switches means that any button can be replaced. Switches can also be replaced and cleaned.
All keys have LED backlighting, which can be configured in the included software. As well as, in fact, the purpose of each key and the polling frequency (up to 1000 Hz).
Anyone who has ever tried to play on a mechanical keyboard will never go back to a cheap membrane keyboard. And the Epic Gear Defiant offers not only comfortable keys with excellent travel, but also the ability to customize the keyboard, and, if necessary, disassemble and clean it. Well, just a Kalashnikov assault rifle!
Case for Epic Gear Defiant
How to wear a keyboard and all the gadgets to championships? Oh, here Epic Gear has two answers prepared at once. The first of them is this protected case for Defiant. It contains the keyboard itself, tools for removing buttons and all the main modules for it.
Case 50CA
But this case already covers the entire Epic Gear ecosystem. The 50CA case fits a keyboard with modules, a mouse, and a headset. Put together this nuclear suitcase – and go to the eSports tournament!
So what does a full set from one manufacturer give?
Using the Epic Gear line as an example, we see that accessories from the same manufacturer are united not only by lighting and general appearance, but also by the same philosophy. In the case of Epic Gear – the philosophy of owner comfort and reliability. And this is important, a person gets used to this level of comfort (up to the ability to put all his toys in one cool case), and does not want to use anything else. And this, in general, is completely logical and correct.
