Taiwanese computer peripherals manufacturer Behavior Tech Computer may not be as popular as Microsoft, Logitech or Razer, but when it comes to delivering professional gaming gear, it surely knows how to master the secret
ingredients. The company's latest product is a keyboard / mouse combo aimed at the professional gaming scene.

The Cheetah name hides two high-end gaming peripherals that promise to deliver the bet while gaming. The Cheetah Gaming Keyboard comes with 17 keys grouped in an unconventional location on the keyboard, that can be pre-set to take a specific gaming input command. The gaming keys feature an ergonomic design and are placed on a rotary wheel that can be adjusted to match the most comfortable angle for the user.

The keyboard can store the presets into two distinct memory modes ("suggestively" called A and B), which can store different profiles for multiple games, or even different profiles for two distinct characters within the same game. The eclectic design has not been omitted: the keyboard can turn on or off the backlighting system at the press of a single key. If you want to show off, you can turn on the dimly glowing light emitted by blue diodes, but if you are easily distracted, you can completely disable it.

However, the backlight is more than aesthetics: if the keys are pressed rapidly, then the LEDs' color would gradually turn red. Similarly, if left in idle mode, the keyboard automatically enables the backlighting.

The second piece of gaming hardware is the Laser Gaming Mouse that can deliver a maximum resolution of 2000 DPI, which accounts for double movement speeds than the average 800 DPI optical resolutions. The built-in Gamer - Grade Laser Engine allows the sensor to track more accurately on a wider range of contact surfaces, such as wood, glass, plastics or other polymers.

If the speed is too fast for performing mundane tasks such as basic graphics editing or web surfing, users can switch it in real time, using the 3 DPI Shift button, that allows the mouse to work at resolutions of 800,1300 and 2000 DPI, respectively. Shifting resolutions would make the scroll wheel turn green (800 DPI), blue (1300 DPI) or red (2000 DPI).
