[NCIX -Canada] Cooler Matser Devastator 2 $14.99* (after MIR)

[WkdPaul]

Cooler Master Devastator 2 is $40 - $25MIR at NCIX Canada right now.

 

I got this combo a few months ago and while the MIR takes a while to arrive, it does arrive as a check, not as a pre-paid credit card.

That's a very good deal!

How is the build quality and typing experience? How are the LEDs. Not considering on one but want to know so for future pcpp lists.

It's a budget product, so it's not the best. I think in one review someone said the mouse wheel eventually starts making squeaking sounds.

• It's a hybrid keyboard, so it's supposed to feel like a mechanical keyboard but if you ever had one, you know right away it isn't one.
• Quality is great for the keyboard but I would change the mouse (it isn't bad but it isn't good either and it's too light IMO).
• LEDs are weak in daytime, and makes the lettering hard to see. Also, with the backlights off, it's unreadable.
• I modified mine to map the LEDs to the numpad lock, because I often use Excel and they mapped the LEDs to the scroll lock key, which is a PITA in Excel.

 

So, it's not a perfect combo, but for less than $20 after taxes, it's honestly hard to beat ... oh, and it also looks great IMO.

I can verify, my mouse did it right out of the box. The mouse is absolutely trash and I would recommend keeping just as a backup. Now the keyboard is another story, it is easily worth this price. It's no mechanical keyboard, but is still not a bad typing experience at all, and I have had it for 2 years with minimal wear on it. However, if you have the money I am so happy with my G.Skill KM780 Brown mechanical keyboard... It is a dream to type on.

Devastator II has improved keyboard and mouse, however I don't used them before so I can't tell.

 

What I can tell you is, don't get Devastator I. The typing feel is worse than an average office keyboard, the mouse has a minimum DPI of 1000 and mediocre sensor which kinda sucks for FPS gamers.
