gaming A gaming power strip?!

[Tyorgg]

What does it mean "Designed for gamers"?? It lacks of RGB!
By the way i saw this image and i immediately thought of $h!t Manufacturers Say

 

EDIT: I found something on their facebook page, it does have RGB! Or at least this is what they say

  Nice. They definitely need to add RGB to that. Let's see we already have RGB cables. What's left now?

Technically they're not lying. It has been designed for gamers. Graphic design is still a form of design.

If they did put rgb on it.

Made the look a little cooler and added a recording that played when you started up your pc that said in a really deep voice,

SYSTEMS ONLINE MAXIMUM POWER AVAILABLE. 

I think they would sell like crazy in the US. 

I'd buy one.

It means something is overpriced and looks awful.

I mean maybe if it were a UPS (It's obviously way too small) and you were meant to plug your 𝑔𝒶𝓂𝒾𝓃𝑔 pc into it, but who ever looks at a power strip anyways?

[Devilish]

this is all i thought of when i saw it

[thrasher_565]

maybe it just means it can handle alot of amps? i myself got the cyberpower ups 450 for the software readout of wats.

It doesn't seem to be special nor i see some software to manage the product! I think this is only another "gaming" thing

Any extension cord that is sold has to be held to a certain standard. This is whatever the input voltage/current is. So in the UK all extension cords are 230VAC/13A rated and nothing more and nothing less. If this thing can handle more current it doesn't matter as the input from the wall can't deliver it without melting shit/setting it on fire or popping a fuse.

 

 

 

I reckon this product is aimed at making a bit of cash from some 13 year old kid who thinks this matters.

 

Atleast it isn't as bad as Audiophile power delivery stuff.

 

 

Granted I own a few of those particular power conditioners, but it's strictly for distribution and protection from power issues such as surges etc.

 

They do get alot more expensive aswell.

 

The power cables are worse lol.

my understanding is you put 2 outlets together to get more out putt like your stove, washer, and thows amps could be up sacling the power but i dont understand that. i use cheap headphones and they sound grate to me but to others then want "better' i love music thats why i have like 600gb of it.

also thows amps and stuff are for people that have disposable income so to them it dose not matter the cost.

 

all it is is probably just marketing.

Eh their stuff is high quality and it's nice to spend maybe 25 dollars instead of 10 for a nicely made cable. But it ain't gonna improve your systems sound.

 

I think Crystal Cable spews more BS than any Audiophile company. Siltech and Nordost are also very dodgy about their claims.

 

When speaker cables that are nearly half the price of my speakers exist, it's worrying.
