Thermaltake TTeSports Challenger Pro Gaming Keyboard Review

Others/Mice & Keyboards by stefan @ 2010-11-26

The TTeSports Challenger Pro is a decent gaming keyboard, aimed mostly at professional gamers who frequent LANs, it has key backlighting which can be controlled by the touch of a button and also sports an unique feature: a little fan that is meant to cool your hands during intense gaming sessions!

Conclusive Thoughts

The keyboard feels comfortable when typing and the keys barely make any noise compared to mechanical ones, considering that it features rubber domes instead of switches. Also, the light effects are good for people that are used to type while looking at the keys. I was at first distracted by the bright “Tt” logo, but, fortunately, it can be easily disabled via the software interface.

The placement of the programmable keys reminds me a bit of the Razer Tarantula, which is a very solid and high quality gaming keyboard. The multimedia keys are placed a little odd on this keyboard (in the top right corner), but I guess there isn't anything that a professional gamer won't get used to.

The added fan is a unique feature and helps bringing a gentle cool breeze over your fingers; this can add to the comfort of professional gamers that are playing for hours. This keyboard comes with a very easy to use software interface, but I can say that I have seen better implementations and nicer looking GUIs at some of the previously reviewed products.

 

The TTeSports Challenger Pro keyboard can be found at CaseKing.de for about 59,90 EUR.

 

 

I would like to thank again to CaseKing.de and Thermaltake for making this review possible!
