Remember when we said Apple’s new marketing campaign was a “complete embarrassment”? Well apparently they agree with us. Apple has apparently
The smarty-pant folks at Genius today unveiled a professional gaming keyboard intended for massively multiplayer online (MMO) and real-time strategy (RTS) players. It's the Imperator, and it's the latest addition to the company's GX Gaming Series. Now available in the U.S. and Canada, the Imperator provides North American gamers with 6 programmable keys, three game profiles, the ability to assign up to 18 macros, and a UI to manage it all.
Even though the company has been around for nearly three decades, Genius isn't as well known in the U.S. as, say, Logitech, Razer, and other competing peripheral makers. That may change if Genius keeps pushing its products overseas as it's been doing in recent months. The newest peripheral to touch down in the States is the Maurus, a GX Gaming Series rodent aimed squarely at FPS players.
"DeathTaker" sounds like the name of a professional wrestler or monster truck, but it's actually a new gaming mouse by Genius that's now available in North America. The DeathTaker is being pitched as a professional MMO and RTS rodent and is the debut product of the peripheral maker's GX Gaming Series, with more products to be unveiled through the coming the months.
Listen, if you're going to name your company "Genius," you better back up that braggadocios title with a product or service that reflects your choice of name. There actually is a company called Genius, a Taiwanese outfit that's making available its DX-ECO BlueEye Mouse in North America. The twist on this one is that it's supposedly the world's first battery-free wireless mouse, and the rodent recharges within minutes.
We don’t bring products into the Lab just to beat them up, so we almost didn’t bite when Genius pitched these speakers. We also try not to prejudge products, but we didn’t have high expectations for this 2.1-channel speaker system: It looks cheesier than a wedge of Vermont cheddar and sells online for less than 50 bucks. We were fully prepared for a craptastic audio experience. Wow, were we ever off base.
