Gamescom – Speedlink Announced Mousepad, Keyboards

Speedlink showed us they new products on the gamescom that coming soon. One of these was the largest gamepad we ever saw. We do not know if it is the largest of the world, but we love how large it is, the great quality and the low price you have to pay for it. The german company has unveiled its new roll-up ATECS mouse pads which is also available in three different sizes. The ATECS XXL is the one we mean. It is 100 cm wide and 50 cm high.

“The ATECS XXL is a pad that has truly earned its size designation XXL with a length of 100 cm and height of 50 cm. The roll-up mouse pad is equipped with a smooth, soft textile surface and is ideally suited for the home gaming desktop or the LAN party with friends. Quickly rolled up, it is easy to transport and serves as a base for keyboard & co. But if you prefer a smaller size, you can choose from sizes M (38 cm × 30 cm) or L (50 cm × 40 cm). The XXL mouse pad will be commercially available for € 19.99 (RRP), the sizes M and L for € 7.99 (RRP) or € 12.99 (RRP) before Christmas.”

Speedlink also announced a new Cable holder for the gaming mouse. “The practical helper holds the mouse cable away the floor and prevents knotting or tangling. The integrated weight and the non-slip feet on the underside of the mouse bungee also helps it withstand intense movements. This makes the new cable holder the perfect complement for the existing SPEEDLINK gaming line-up. The new mouse bungee will be commercially available starting in October for € 9.99 (RRP).”

Speedlink continues to expand its current PC gaming range by presenting two mechanical keyboards for the first time. The full-size VELATOR keyboard (RRP € 69.99) not only has a driver, but also ten macro-enabled keys and other features. The keyboard (€ 99.99) is based on a robust aluminium plate and offers extra LED lighting in addition to driver software. The launch of both keyboards is planned for the first quarter of 2016.

This year, SPEEDLINK continues to focus on functional accessories for PC gamers. At this year’s gamescom, the northern German company is celebrating a première: For the first time, two mechanical keyboards will expand the current range. The top model ULTOR is a so-called tenkeyless keyboard, where a number pad is deliberately left off. The compact design is complemented by the red-aluminium plate on which the keys are attached. The appearance is rounded off with LED lighting, which provides for a white illumination of the relevant gaming keys and a blue illumination of the other keys. Thanks to the comprehensive driver software, extensive macros can be configured in up to five profiles and saved to a total of six keys. The keys are equipped with red Kailh switches and designed for up to 50 million keystrokes. The delay-free transmission of commands is guaranteed by the ultra-polling rate. The ULTOR should be commercially available in the first quarter of 2016 for € 99.99 (RRP).

The VELATOR mechanical keyboard is also equipped with the driver software for individual configuration and has a total of ten customisable keys. The individual keys are equipped with long-lasting blue Kailh switches and provide a precise keystroke. Via the FN key, eight additional function keys can be controlled. Both keyboards have the typical SPEEDLINK premium braided USB cable. Scheduled launch for the VELATOR (€ 69.99 RRP) is also the first quarter of 2016.
