ASUS has expanded its Strix Gaming Series with the addition of five new peripherals, including Strix DSP gaming headset with audio station, Strix Claw optical gaming mouse, Strix Tactic Pro mechanical gaming keyboard, and Strix Glide Control and Glide Speed gaming mousepads. The new products follow the recent launches of the Strix Pro gaming headset and Strix R9 280 and GTX 780 graphic cards, completing the Strix gaming-gear line-up.†
Strix DSP Gaming Headset
Strix DSP is a multi-platform gaming headset engineered with 60mm neodymium-magnet drivers, full-size hexagonal ear cushions (130mm across at the widest point), accompanied by a driver-free plug-and-play audio station that processes native 7.1-channel surround-sound audio. The headset also features a travel-friendly foldable design that allows the ear cups to lay flat.
The USB plug-and-play audio station that’s part of the Strix DSP package allows gamers to enjoy 3D surround sound with Dolby Headphone and Dolby Pro Logic IIx technologies. The audio station also includes environmental-noise-cancellation(ENC) technology that filters out up to 90% of external noise for clear in-game communication.
The Strix DSP is compatible with PCs, Macs, PlayStation 4 gaming console, and many smartphones and tablets.†
Strix Claw Optical Gaming Mouse
The gaming-grade native 5000dpi (dots per inch) optical sensor in the Strix Optical Gaming Mouse offers true 1:1 tracking, angle-snap-free movement, and flexible DPI controls. Movement is tracked at speeds of up to 3.32 meters per second (130 inches/sec) with accuracy adjustable by 50dpi increments. The mouse also includes a DPI clutch button that lets serious snipers reduce the DPI† for accurate aiming. An LED indicator shows the current DPI status.
The new gaming mouse has built-in 64KB memory and a total of eight buttons, three of which are independently programmable. The Strix software is used to assign any key, mouse command or macro, enabling gamers to shift vital commands from the keyboard to Strix Claw.
Constructed with Japanese-made Omron D2F-01F switches, the Strix Claw’s right-handed ergonomics are designed for all grip styles. The streamlined shape provides comfort and grip, allowing gamers to move quickly and precisely.
Strix Tactic Pro Mechanical Gaming Keyboard
Strix Tactic Pro is a mechanical keyboard available in a variety of Cherry MX switch types: Black, Blue, Brown, or Red. Traditional keyboards suffer “ghosting” that stops some keys being registered, hindering precise control. Strix Tactic Pro employs N-Key Rollover (NKRO) technology over USB to help ensure that every key press is registered, regardless of how many keys are held down at once.
Strix Tactic Pro is equipped with 13 macro keys for command customization. The user also has the option to reassign F1-F8 as macro keys for a total of 21 one-touch commands. In common with Strix Claw, Strix Pro offers a choice of software or plug-and-play hardware modes, enabling personalization and easy installation for gaming on the go.
Strix Glide Control and Strix Glide Speed Gaming Mousepads
Lastly, ASUS has designed two Strix-branded mousepads: Strix Glide Control and Strix Glide Speed.
Strix Glide Control is finished with a premium heavy-weave fabric, providing a textured surface for games that require fine control and absolute precision. Strix Glide Speed is made for gameplay that needs fast, efficient movement, with a fine-weave finish that allows the mouse to glide swiftly across the entire pad.
Both Strix Glide Control and Glide Speed work with either optical or laser mice and are manufactured with fray-resistant edges.
