Anyhow, you will find the full press release down below =)

Press release:
Hamburg, 30 September 2014 – ROCCAT™ Studios once again leads the way in gaming peripheral design and execution with the release of the highly touted and much anticipated Tyon All Action Gaming Mouse, arriving today in the United States, Europe and Australia.

The Tyon is a wholly unique gaming mouse that puts every major action in the palm of the player's hand. The Tyon's X-Celerator, a two-way analog stick handles throttling, sprinting, rotating tank turrets, and more with tried and tested ease of use. "No stone was left unturned, no option left on the table." says René Korte, CEO and founder of ROCCAT Studios. "We wanted the X-Celerator to be a major shift in mouse design for FPS gaming and beyond. We put in the testing hours to ensure it would be just that."

With 16 assignable buttons, 31 distinct possible functions, and a near limitless level of customization thanks to ROCCAT's dedicated Easy-Shift[+] Button, the Tyon is a game-changer. Land, sea, air, space - mastery of each layer in the FPS gaming sphere is imperative for competitive gamers.

ROCCAT's designers and developers have worked in close collaboration with gaming experts, logging hundreds of hours of testing and fine-tuning to ensure the Tyon’s abilities elevate play, meeting these challenges head-on. On design, René says, "What's unique about the Tyon, is that while we optimized for FPS gaming, many testers found that it was a fantastic pairing with MMO and other game genres. We really like the idea that this mouse can be creatively utilized by players across the board. Our fans will absolutely find interesting ways to use it with whatever they play."

The Tyon's Dorsal Fin Switch, a two-click button set behind the mouse wheel, allows for a comfortable mid-finger action, eliminates the need for major hand adjustments, 576kB of onboard memory ensures vast storage of settings and macros, an 8200 DPI Pro-Aim Laser Sensor provides precision, quickness, and accuracy, vivid RGBY two-part illumination for both the lower rim and wheel of the mouse give the Tyon incredible range of personal style, and with a sleek black or white color choice for the mouse itself, the Tyon truly is a marvel of form and function.

"We were excited to announce the Tyon a few months ago, and we've been extremely happy with the amazing response from fans," Says René. "Announcing a drop date for the Tyon in the United States, Europe and Australia is a big deal to us; all of us at ROCCAT Studios that put our efforts into this mouse are proud of the final product, and can't wait until gamers have a Tyon as a part of their arsenal."

ROCCAT Tyon TechSpecs:
- 8200 DPI PRO AIM (R3) LASER SENSOR - for precision gaming at its best
- X-CELERATOR THUMB PADDLE - for unrivaled command capabilities
- DORSAL FIN SWITCH - for rapid and instinctive control
- ROCCAT TITAN WHEEL - for millions of ultra-precise steps
- ROCCAT™ EASY-SHIFT[+]™ - on-the-fly button duplicator
- 16.8M MULTICOLOR ILLUMINATION - customizable two-level light system
- TRACKING & DISTANCE CONTROL UNIT - less pick-up flight for precise gaming
- 16 MOUSE BUTTONS - programmable + dedicated Easy-Shift[+]™ button
- 32-BIT PROCESSOR + 576KB MEMORY - for rapid macro storage and execution

Roccat presents the Kave XTD Stereo gaming headset

roccat kave xtd stereo gaming headset
The headset looks really good. But are they comfy? And how good are the sound?

Sometimes it can be really hard to find a good Gaming headset. Mainly because there's so many different brands and models. But it´s also a matter of taste of course. For example, it seems to be hard to make headsets that both look and feel good, and also sound great (music, Gaming and so on).

But perhaps Roccat´s the Kave XTD Stereo gaming headset are the answer to our prayers? Well, i sure hope so at least. We might get the chance to try the Military edition of that headset in the near future (it costs £70 + shipment).

Then we will know for sure!

Press release:
Hamburg, 23 September 2014 - ROCCAT Studios adds another peripheral to its gaming stable, with the Kave XTD Stereo Gaming Headset arriving in stores today. “When ROCCAT designs a headset, we make big claims, and we back them up. Our renowned Kave XTD Series has a brand new family member, providing high-class stereo sound with supreme design quality.”

These are the words of René Korte, founder and CEO of ROCCAT Studios, speaking on the brand new Kave XTD Stereo Gaming Headset. On the crystal clear clarity of the XTD Stereo, René continues, “You want to hear everything from the rustle of boots through tall grass, your opponent whispering to one another, the casual conversation of your raiding party, ambient noises that heighten immersion – every spectrum.

Game design has become so deep, that these things are built-in components of gameplay, and yet so many players go without the proper gear to take advantage of the awesome sound design studios put into their games. The Kave XTD Stereo provides gamers a listening tool to hear everything with amazing clarity, taking them deeper into the experience the game designers intended."

Pushing industry standards, the Kave XTD Stereo offers rich stereo sound via two 50mm neodymium speaker units with massive dynamic range. Add to this a 360° rotatable, detachable microphone and all that’s left to talk about is comfort, which is also where the Kave XTD Stereo shines.

This headset’s design is based on comfortable integration into your gaming suite, and long-use. Super padded ear cups, ultra-light while being robust and durable, with many hours of testing to ensure a complete lack of gaming fatigue; design and function perfectly melded into a premium headset that can not only be used for gaming, but any aural media experience.

“Use your Kave XTD Stereo to game, then switch over and listen to music, or even while Skyping with friends. The sound will always be beautiful, rich, and clear,” finishes René. “We’re all very happy to see the XTD Kave Stereo hit the market. It truly is a piece of gaming equipment that the team here at ROCCAT is exceptionally proud of.”

Gamers can also pick up the Kave XTD Stereo Military now, the limited combat-themed version of the XTD Stereo design.

ROCCAT debuts two products at Gamescom

roccat gamescom
ROCCAT hopes to bring some noise at Gamescom.

I just heard that ROCCAT will present not one, but TWO brand new products at Gamescom. So what kind of products are we talking about then? Wel, in this case. A mouse and a keyboard. Which are said to be "two revolutionary products".

That sure sounds really nice indeed. But we have to wait until August get a glimpse of them. You will however find the press release down below.

Press release:
"Hamburg, July 22, 2014 – Gamescom, one of the most highly anticipated gaming trade fairs in the world, and the largest held in Europe, once again hosts ROCCAT Studios August 13 – 17. This year, ROCCAT goes all out, bringing an entire gaming city to Hall 8, Booth A10 in what we’re proudly calling, ROCC-City, where one of the most exciting announcements in ROCCAT’s history will be shared with the public."

World’s first – new mouse and keyboard at gamescom
The biggest news coming out of ROCCAT during Gamescom is the reveal of two revolutionary products set to pave the way into the next phase of ROCCAT creations, with a philosophy like no other gaming peripheral company today; one, a completely new take on the gaming mouse, and a keyboard with full smartphone integration.

“We call our upcoming products “Future Ready”, and that is exactly what they are,” explains René Korte. “Moving forward, we wanted to offer something that nobody has considered yet, and that’s peripherals that adapt to the future of gaming experiences, and the user’s gaming needs. These first two products have the full potential to remain a part of a gamer’s arsenal for many years, growing with their needs, adapting to personal tastes, and maintaining their relevance in an ever-changing gaming market.”

DIY – The mouse button layout
On the mouse, René says, “We asked the questions, “What would it be like if you could do more than change a button assignment? What if you could physically change the button itself? What if you could make your own buttons from scratch?” We had to find out, and what we discovered upon creating this was a mouse that can be fully adjusted to any gaming genre fluidly.”

Smart – the integration of the phone
As for the keyboard, René goes on to say,”Smartphones do so much these days. They’re a second- screen experience for many gamers in a variety of ways, but we wanted to offer more than the next step in integrating smartphone and keyboard. We wanted to take the next ten steps. A keyboard designed not only to integrate your phone fully into the gaming realm, but one that takes the standard functionality of a phone, communication, and seamlessly weaves it into your gaming experience. Taking calls, texting, everything. Why can’t you have it all? We plan on giving that to the world, and showing you what that looks like at Gamescom.”

These two Future Ready peripherals are the first phase in a design philosophy that ROCCAT has embraced as the way forward, and Gamescom will be the place where the world will get their first look at exactly what they are and what they can do.

A city for gamers
These announcements will be presented in ROCC-City, a unique and exciting gaming environment envisioned by René, who explains, “ROCC-City is designed to be a fully immersive gaming experience for long-time fans of ROCCAT, to gamers who have never heard of us. It is a wholly realized gaming space with themed sections designed to make you feel as if you are in different neighborhoods within our ROCC-City, all with something different and exciting to offer.

We want you to get lost in our city, exploring our products, playing new games, and essentially getting a feel for what it means to be a part of the ROCCAT experience. We’re very pleased with Gamescom, and are excited that they have given us an opportunity to truly engage their attendees in an exciting and unique way.”

In addition to the news above, ROCC-City will host a series of entertaining events, as well as giving gamers a hands-on with some of ROCCAT’s newest products. Reference the list below for a full rundown of ROCCAT’s contribution to Gamescom 2014.

ROCCAT - The wireless modular gaming board

roccat
ROCCAT aims to satisfy Gamers and their Gaming needs.

While most of the world are either A. Enjoying their vacation, B. Watching the World or C. Both. Roccat are hard at work with their next Gaming gear invention. Which would be the wireless modular gaming board. And you can read all about it in the press release below ;)

Press release:
"Stockholm – July 8, 2014 – It’s been a summer of major announcements for ROCCAT Studios, with a few more yet to come, the most recent being the E3 reveal of the in-development ROCCAT Sova Wireless Modular Gaming Board.

The positive fan and media response to the Sova at E3 was massive, with fantastic
articles and word of mouth. Building on the wave of enthusiasm for a wireless keyboard/mousepad combo custom made for a living room gaming experience, ROCCAT is immediately moving into its next phase of development for the Sova, and inviting our fans to join the ride.

“We are thrilled with the overwhelmingly positive response we have received for the Sova,” Says René Korte, CEO and founder of ROCCAT, “…and we realize that now is not the time to sit back and wait, but to give fans what they want as quickly as possible.

We’re ready to go full speed into our refinement
process, and want our fans to see the hard work that goes into moving a ROCCAT product from its development phase, into what you see at retail. The Sova is coming, it is going to be an amazing piece of gaming hardware, and you’ll get to follow every step on that journey in our newly launched Sova Development Blog.”

Starting today and going forward, ROCCAT’s Sova Blog will take fans into the world of our designers and developers, where they will drop in to discuss features, fan feedback, the technical and aesthetic side of creating groundbreaking peripherals, and more. Today, René kicks off the first vlog with a personal message to the fans on our newly launched site in support of the Sova, which will be the informational hub for all things Sova-related.

Says René, “We are a company that has always lived by integrated product development, where our entire internal team has input on the creation of our peripherals. We are taking things a step further by inviting our fans to participate in this process. The Blog will have surveys and comment sections, allowing them to help guide the process by which we bring the final Sova to the masses.

We believe our
fans will develop an even deeper appreciation for what goes into making a ROCCAT product when they follow along with these excellent vlogs, and interact with the ROCCAT Team. We plan on making them exciting, engaging, informational, and fun. Very few companies in our business open up to the public quite like this, and we hope to set a precedent in that regard now, and for years to come.”
