Cooler Master Devastator 3 Keyboard and Mouse Combo Review

Others/Mice & Keyboards by stefan @ 2017-07-03

By releasing the Devastator 3 keyboard plus mouse combo, Cooler Master is also taking care of the entry level gaming segment, but can be also considered suitable for people that do not want to invest a lot on peripherals, but still take advantage of RGB functionality. The keyboard is available with many layouts and for cutting down costs, the manufacturer has went for a membrane-type switch, but at the same time has customized its design in order to increase the durability. The mouse packs an Avago sensor with a maximum DPI of 2400MHz, adjustable in four different preset steps and comes with an ergonomic shape; Cooler Master has used Omron switches for the buttons so the buttons are guaranteed to operate optimally up to 10 million actuations.

The cable ends up with a customized USB connector:

On the bottom area of the keyboard, we are able to see a central sticker with the product serial number and power rating:
