Turtle Beach expands into keyboards and mice

[CommandMan7]

This is 2 days old, I'm surprised nobody else posted this first. 

Turtle beach diversifies out of gaming headsets with the release of 3 keyboards, 2 mice, and 2 mousepads. All of these products are PC gaming oriented, with 2 keyboards using cherry MX switches and the lowest end model using "smart guide keycap sleeves", which are supposed to feel like mechanical switches. The mice have 8200 and 1750 DPI sensors, with the high end model using 7 macro buttons and RGB lighting. Nobody cares about the mousepads, go look it up if you really want to see them.

These new products seem alright, until you look at the price tag. The keyboards sell for $200, $130, and $60. The mice sell for $70 and $40. Way overpriced in my opinion.

That article is two days old. The news is more than a month old though.

Assumedly, all the sales they get from console users and less savvy PC users.

Oh sweet, I'm totally going to buy a $160 mechanical keyboard from Turtlebeach and not the godly Das from Germany.

I know, right? I got an X12 a few years ago and it lasted exactly one year before completely falling apart. Cheap plastic construction doesn't belong on a $60 headset.

poor poor console pesents......

Can we please get over calling console users peasants? It's just getting annoying.

Or the brushed Aluminum RGB Corsair keyboards, or the G710+ which offers more features than their Impact 700 for 1/2 the cost, or the solid Ducky keyboards, or the legendary IBM Model M, or anything else for that matter. I want me a bland-ass gaymin Turtle Beach keyboard.

lol I went through 6 pairs of X12s in my 3 years on Xbox.

 

They didn't let me RMA one because "physical abuse", even know I just wear them on my head...

Bit off topic, but I can't stop looking at your profile pic.

 

Though you are right, let the blessed trinity shine its light upon our Earth to shed enlightenment to all about the devil-spawned Turtle Beach.

My brother had one of the X12s for Xbox, didn't seem so bad really. Just not worth the 79.99$ he paid for them. Seemed more like 30-40$ fit it better.

I gotta say though, the Turtle Beach PX21 headset is the best gaming branded headset for the price. Build quality was decent at most but it lasted for a good few years. I don't regret that purchase.
