Benchmark Reviews, Funky Kit, HardwareHeaven, HardwareLOOK, and Legit Reviews have reviewed a few gaming keyboards from ROCCAT and SteelSeries.

Let's see what they had to say:

  • Benchmark Reviews: Roccat Kova[+] Optical USB Gaming Mouse:

    "At $59.99 (Amazon), the Roccat Kova[+] really does stand out. It delivers a great set of features under a well-designed exterior. Competing products typically will have similar hardware specs, so it all boils down to usability, comfort, design, and customization, and the Roccat Kova[+] does superb in all of those areas.

    The Roccat Kova[+] may not be the best travel mouse, but for gamers with a mouse pad the Kova[+] offers great return on your money. There are quite a good number of competing products at this price level from popular companies like Razer and SteelSeries, but in terms of functionality I would find it hard for Roccat to lose."

  • Funky Kit: Funky Kit Review: Steelseries Sensei Pro Gaming Mouseþ:

    "When I first saw the price on the mouse I thought that it better be one hell of a mouse for them to charge that much. After testing it, I have to say the Steelseries Sensei is indeed, one hell of a mouse. If you want features, this thing is loaded with them. It is easily the best mouse I have ever used in both comfort and performance. If you want the best, this thing is the best for a real gamer."

  • HardwareHeaven: SteelSeries Kinzu V2 Pro Edition Gaming Mouse Review :

    "The overall quality of the mouse is also impressive with braided cable, Omron based buttons and a gaming grade sensor which offers 3200CPI; tracking well on hard and fabric based surfaces. This decent hardware specification is also backed by good software from SteelSeries which is simple to use and allows us to configure the speed of the mouse and buttons to our needs.

    The fact is though that SteelSeries have designed this to be a no-frills mouse with a low cost but minimal compromise on the quality, something backed by the slogan "No Frills, just kills". Overall we would say that SteelSeries have found the right balance as the Kinzu V2 Pro Edition performs well, feels great to use and should last due to the components used. At €45 RRP a very worthwhile purchase for gamers on a budget."

  • HardwareLOOK: Steelseries Cataclysm Gaming Mouse Review:

    "The World of Warcraft Cataclysm mouse is one of the more popular Warcraft gaming mice’s on the market, this is most likely due to the armour plated styled design to look like the characters from the game, and it featuring 14 buttons that can bind directly from the World of Warcraft interface, without ever leaving the game, 16 million colours to choose to illuminate your device, and many more features. The Cataclysm is supported by PC and Mac. If you’re a World of Warcraft fan, or just a gaming enthusiast, take a look at what you are missing out on."

  • Legit Reviews: SteelSeries Diablo III Gaming Mouse and Headset Reviews:

    "The mouse is comfortable to use and is highly configurable for use with Diablo III or any other application for that matter. The LED slow pulse illumination, along with the graphic designs, makes this mouse look absolutely awesome. The mouse is also made of quality parts from the gold platted USB connector, to the double-braided cord all the way through to the switches that are guaranteed to work for 10 million clicks. According to SteelSeries, 10 million clicks is 3x more than the average mouse, saving gamers both time and money."
