In esports, gaming gear is just as critical as skill, and even the slightest lag, can spell the difference between a victory and getting fragged to oblivion.
“Gaming has gotten a lot more serious these past few years, and there are already a lot of Filipino pro gamers who are making a name for themselves in esports tournaments all over the world. We want to nurture the passion and talent Filipinos have by letting them experience the gaming gear used by the top cyber athletes in the world,” says Kyle Guo, Rapoo R&D director.
VPRO is a professional gaming brand under Rapoo with complete range of products, including gaming mice, gaming mechanical keyboards, and gaming headsets. Rapoo introduced some of its newest gear earlier last week. Let’s take a look at some of the products launched.
Leading the lineup of the VPRO gaming gear is the VPRO V810 Backlit Mechanical Gaming Keyboard.
With its stylish angular design, coupled with high-grade materials and incredible build quality, the gaming keyboard makes for a standout companion to accompany gamers on their triumphant quest for glory.
The VPRO V810 features full mechanical keys and conflict-free design for all keys. The cherry mechanical key switches, with a single key life up to 50 million operations, are durable and reliable in the game. Non-conflict design for 108 keys on the keyboard, allows you to press any number of keys simultaneously and ensures that your every command is registered and executed exactly and rapidly.
It is equipped with a multi-level backlighting system for those late night gaming sessions. All keys on the keyboard are programmable (including single keys, combination keys, and macro keys) in the game mode. The simplified game operations allow you to always be one step ahead.
The keyboard also features five dedicated macro keys for those precisely timed maneuvers conveniently positioned on the left-hand side of the keyboard. With a built in on-board memory, VPRO810 can save your personal profile settings and load it onto another PC.
Another really cool feature is Gaming Mode, which allows rapid toggling between game and Windows settings. Combined with its freely programmable keys, the VPRO V810 converts into a true weapon of virtual mass destruction. It retails for P6,730.
Other available VPRO keyboard options include the V720, V500RGB AL, V700RGB AL, V500S AL, V500S-Crystal, V500L, V51S RGB, and V510.
Complementing the VPRO keyboard is the VPRO range of gaming mice led by the VPRO V310 Laser Gaming Mouse. The VPRO V310 boasts of Rapoo’s brand-new gaming chip V-power3, 32-bit ARM core, 60MHz running frequency, and 1000Hz USB report rate for high-speed response. It also has a professional gaming optical engine with an image-processing rate of 12000fps and up to 1000Hz USB report rate to ensure accurate tracking anytime, anywhere.
Save and play with its built-in memory to save your mouse configuration (macro, DPI setting, and breathing light mode) in the game mode so you can use your settings on any computer.
With 16 million colors the V310 has an LED multi-color light system, which lets you customize the appearance of your mouse in many ways. It features an APM-lighting mode that reflects your actions per minute with a spectacular light show. The V310 retails for P2,190.
Other new VPRO gaming mice include the V25S, V280, and V26.
Completing the trio of essential gaming gear is the headset. A good gaming headset provides you a more immersive experience, but a great headset gives you the advantage allowing you to hear movements and audio cues of your opponent’s movements.
The VPRO VH600 Virtual 7.1 Gaming headset features multi-function remote configuration free control and intelligent VIB vibration unit that brings unparalleled shock experience. The over-ear design provides comfort and noise isolation while the active dual microphone makes sure that you can easily and clearly talk strategies with your teammates without delay. This design uses an intelligent suspension head wear that adapts to the length of gameplay hours. This headset comes with a suggested retail price of P2,945.
This first line of VPRO gadgets in the Philippines will be available in stores and third-party retailers beginning this May.
