The LED lighting system is configurable in very much detail and we have the option to leave it run without the light bar for maximum LED brightness.

People that did not have a chance to try out the Rival 700, it is now a good time to give it a go, since it features an updated, proven sensor (SteelSeries TrueMove3), better switches and a modular design.

During our testing, we did not encounter any erratic movements and the haptic feedback does help at times, if configured correctly. read more

Thanks to the M.2 standard, the MP300 is very compact, single-sided and does not require extra cables in order to operate; the only thing you need to check before purchase is that your motherboard does support NVMe PCI-Express Gen 3.0 x2, otherwise the drive won’t be usable. read more
