The Cougar Attack X3 Mechanical Keyboard & 450M Gaming Mouse Review
 

Today we're taking a look at the Attack X3 mechanical gaming keyboard and the 450M optical gaming mouse from Cougar. The Attack X3 is an advanced, programmable mechanical keyboard without many extra functions and RGB lighting, while the 450M is a relatively simple programmable mouse with a high precision optical sensor. Both products are aiming at the center of the gamers market, targeting those that do want advanced and high quality products but are also considerate of their budgets.

Of all the peripherals we look at, those meant for the "average gamer" are perhaps the most interesting. Unlike flagship products where pricing is rarely a concern and virtually every feature can be (and is) added, for products aimed at the mass market manufacturers need to balance functionality and design with the needs of the market, and ultimately cost concerns. So compared to Cougar's outstanding 700 series products, it will be interesting to see if Cougar can maintain this level of quality with the X3 and M450. If so, then they should have a winner on their hands.
