ROCCAT, the Hamburg-based manufacturer of professional gaming accessories, presents an addition to the legendary ROCCAT Sense High Precision Gaming Mousepad – one of the world’s most popular mousepads. The new ROCCAT Sense Chrome Blue features a revised surface, more intense colours and is just 2mm high. The special microcrystalline coating incorporated into the fabric surface is ultra-effective at minimizing frictional resistance between the mouse and the pad thereby noticeably improving the gliding capability of mice. At the same time there is hardly any noise: the mouse glides almost silently over the ROCCAT mousepad. The new ROCCAT Sense Chrome Blue High Precision Gaming Mousepad is available now.

Features:
- Minimized friction thanks to the microcrystalline coating bonded to an ultra-soft neoprene backing
- Vast gliding area and precise pointer positioning
- Fully rubberized backing for the perfect amount of grip on any surface
- Dimensions: 400x280mm | Height: 2mm
- Developed in conjunction with international pros

Gaming peripheral manufacturer Roccat Studios said last week that three new mice will be hitting the North American market sometime between the end of October and the beginning of November. This new batch includes the Kone XTD Max Customization Gaming Mouse, the Kone Pure Core Performance Gaming Mouse, and the previously announced Lua Tri-Button mouse.

The Kone XTD is the successor to the "legendary" Kone[+] gaming mouse, packing added capabilities while keeping the Kone form factor intact. The same goes with the Kone Pure to some degree, but Roccat slimmed this one down to 91-percent of the Kone[+] size while adding "competition-crushing power."


On a more technical level, both gaming mice feature the latest 8200 DPI Pro Aim R3 laser sensor, a 32-bit Turbo Core 2 72 MHz ARM MCU processor, and "the most advanced Tracking & Distance Control Unit around." Both offer a range of ergonomic features and gaming software for maximum customization.


Finally there's the Lua. It's the least flashy of the three, but packs its own gaming punch for the price. It too features an illuminate Roccat logo on the back, but gamers can only set it to breathe, to remain constantly lit, or turn it off completely. It also packs a fully-adjustable Pro-Optic sensor and a rugged, ambidextrous V-shape form factor. That said, it's built for left and right-handed gamers who want an entry-level gaming mouse but don't want to compromise on performance.


"Continuing a dedication to building the world’s highest quality gaming gear, each of the new mice is built mega-tough using only the highest-quality materials, inside and out," the company said. "From robust exteriors to premium inner electronics, everything on the new devices is state-of-the-art and built to last."

The Kone XTD, Kone Pure and Lua are expected to hit shelves by the end of October/beginning of November, 2012, with a suggested retail price of $89.99 (Kone XTD), $69.99 (Kone Pure), $29.99 (Lua).
