Computex 2015 has drawn G.Skill into the fray as well, the manufacturer having unveiled its new gaming peripherals, the Ripjaws, to the audience. It includes two mechanical gaming keyboards, an RGB gaming mouse and two 7.1 surround headsets.

With gaming peripherals having sleek, neon-lush looks with metallic overlays, G.Skill's Ripjaws stays within this typical sleek and mean industrial design. Available in two lighting styles with full range RGB, the two KM780 RGB and KM780 MX keyboard models come fully equipped with a wide range of key customization.

The two G.Skill keyboards will try to up the ante while sporting a sturdy design to last longer and offer the best gaming and typing experience possible. Featuring Cherry MX Red and Brown key switches and with 50-million-key-press lifecycle, the new Ripjaws series are meant to last years on end.

Moreover, the MX780 RGB Gaming Mouse proves to be highly customizable to fit any hand size and grip style. Inside it, we can find a 32-bit ARM processor, gaming-grade Avago laser sensor, and Omron micro-switches. The MX780 RGB gaming mouse, is capable of 1000Hz polling rate, 8200 dpi, tracking up to 150ips, and 30g of acceleration with a durability of 20 million clicks.

Neon. Lights. Everywhere

Turning into a handheld disco ball, the Ripjaws mouse can light across four lighting zones, can store up to five individual profiles and has unique settings for eight fully programmable buttons.

Also, with your keyboard and mouse come the Ripjaws SR910 / SV710 7.1 Surround Digital Gaming Headsets, offering real 7.1 surround sound through ten audio drivers and powered by Dolby Pro Logic IIx through dual 50mm drivers.

Together with this gaming set also comes the G.SKILL Unified Driver System (G.U.D.S.) Software Suite that will provide the unifying software that will unlock full customization to your keyboard and mouse, create and store profiles at your liking, and set whatever color flavor for your keyboard and mouse your soul desires.

All in all, G.Skill wants to give a major blow to any competitor through sheer "awesomeness," flooding the gamer's senses with everything he needs, from sounds to tactile inputs.

However, when the final price is revealed, all this empowerment will show its true face. And only then gamers will get down-and-dirty and think practicality instead of pure flash.

The G.SKILL Ripjaws series gaming gear will be available in 2015 Q3.
