ROCCAT Kave XTD 5.1 Digital Review

roccat-kave-xtd-digital-surround-imageROCCAT’s Kave XTD 5.1 Digital headset is a powerhouse of PC gaming audio. Something to note about this headset, aside from its classy, dark looks, is that it is a true 5.1 channel audio solution. Unlike some headsets, which use virtual surround technologies to emulate 5.1 channel sound from two drivers, the Kave XTD 5.1 Digital actually houses six drivers to perform its 5.1 channel magic.

Setting up the ROCCAT Kave XTD 5.1 Digital headset is straightforward and involves plugging in the desktop control module to your PC via USB port. This desktop control module also houses its own sound card. So, if you have an additional, discrete sound card in your PC, you will want to set your default audio output to the Kave XTD 5.1 Digital prior to playing any games. The desktop control module looks like it was pulled straight out of the world of TRON with vivid blue lighting elements on a dark body. It is also designed smartly in that it won’t just fall off your desk at the slightest shake or shock. An additional element to the desktop control module are its 5.1 channel speaker outputs in case you want to connect a physical speaker system instead of using the headsets. This is an excellent design choice on ROCCAT’s part.

A special mention needs to be given to ROCCAT’s Smart Link technology, which allows you to pair your smartphone to the Kave XTD 5.1 via Bluetooth. This allows you to take calls while you are playing you favorite PC game. This is a real innovation and something that more headset-makers need to consider when designing future models.

One area where the ROCCAT Kave XTD 5.1 Digital lacks is its microphone pick-up quality. My teammates mentioned several times that I sounded distant and did not come in as clearly as other headsets I have tested while playing with them. The actual operation of the microphone is very user-friendly, with the boom mic being easy to flip down and up, out of the way if needs be.

Its audio quality is very good, with great low and high-end sounds – definitely a respectable amount of bass befitting its true 5.1 channels. Its mid-range sound doesn’t play through as well as the low or high-end audio but, overall, the sound is perfect for playing your favorite PC games. Throwing a good smattering of installed PC games at the ROCCAT Kave XTD 5.1 Digital, I enjoyed wearing and listening to them in Call of Duty: Ghosts, The Banner Saga, The Dead Linger, State of Decay, Skyrim, and a ton of other titles. The headset is rather large, but didn’t become uncomfortable even after many hours of gameplay. I did notice some ear perspiration – but no discomfort.

Retailing for $169.95, the ROCCAT Kave XTD 5.1 Digital headset may seem expensive. However, when you compare its price to competing models, the Kave XTD 5.1 Digital proves to have a high value per dollar ratio – especially when you consider this is true 5.1 channel sound.

Tt eSports Level 10 M Hybrid Gaming Mouse Review

2014012316342637-59s

Thermaltake has been making PC gaming peripherals for quite some time – one of their newest being the Level 10 M Hybrid gaming mouse. The idea behind the mouse was to take the things that worked on their Level 10M gaming mouse and refine them while also including the option to play in a fully-wireless mode.

In terms of its design, the Level 10 M Hybrid gaming mouse is very similar to its predecessor – with the exception of a long boom protruding forth from the front of the mouse and an enhanced side grip on its right side. The forward-mounted boom is the interface where the wired cable plugs into. Unfortunately, this boom can be a bit of a problem if you are playing on a desk or mousing area with limited space as it had a tendency to hit things – but, I digress. The shape of the mouse is able to be slightly adjust by using the included adjustment key, and we found that using either a claw or palm grip was possible with just a few height and tilt adjustments. Thermaltake teamed up with BMW DesignworksUSA for the product, and it truly is a beautiful-looking mouse – not very ergonomic, mind you, but beautiful.

Thermaltake has made going back and forth between wired and wireless modes very easy. Embedded into the wired mouse cable, you will find the wireless adapter that plugs into your computer’s USB port. The mouse also comes with a small wireless plug that plugs into that forward boom we wrote about earlier. Once both are plugged in and a small switch on the bottom of the mouse is set to “on”, you are off and running. Simply reverse the process to go back to wired gaming mode. It is worth noting that the wired cable is responsible for charging the mouse’s internal battery. So, be sure to plug it in every so often to keep the charge full. One thing this is lacking on the Tt eSports Level 10 M Hybrid is an on-mouse battery indicator. It is so helpful to be able to see when you will need to plug in ahead of time and checking the levels in software is not always practical. Just some food for thought, Thermaltake!

Also, be sure to check the Tt eSports website for any firmware or software updates for the Level 10 M Hybrid gaming mouse. Speaking of software, the control suite is useful and offers a lot of customization in being able to set the mouse’s multiple profile modes. The lighting options on the mouse are a bit puzzling to me, as there are not many things that light up in comparison with other models on the market. More so, the previous Level 10 M featured a light up dragon design which glowed through the grill on the top of the mouse. The Level 10 M Hybrid lacks this lighting effect. It doesn’t affect performance, of course, but was definitely high on the cool-factor side of things.

**UPDATE: I should note that, usually, the Tt eSports Level 10M Hybrid dragon logo DOES light up when in wired mode. We ended up getting a model that had a defect in that it did not light up when plugged in. We did not know this until a company spokesperson contacted us about our review.

The mouse’s internal Avago ADNS A9800 laser sensor has been the source of controversy in the past with some gamers complaining about its built-in mouse acceleration, a feature than many tournament-level players disapprove of. I used the Level 10 M Hybrid with a variety of games for a decent amount of time and did not notice much issues with mouse acceleration in my evaluation. I took on foreign armies in Call of Duty: Ghosts, went retro with Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodlines, and took to space in the current build of Star Citizen’s Arena Commander.

Overall, I am impressed with the performance of the Tt eSports Level 10 M Hybrid by Thermaltake. Not only does it have a cool style and design but, also, solid gaming performance. While Thermaltake has listed the mouse with an MSRP of $109.99, you can find it online at several retailers for about $20 dollars cheaper.

Despicable Me: Minion Mayhem Ride Review

universal-057 copy

Last weekend, I had the opportunity to go out to Universal Studios Hollywood, enjoy the overall park and attractions as well as check out the new Despicable Me: Minion Mayhem ride. Like many of Universal Studios’ recent attractions, Despicable Me: Minion Mayhem relies mainly on high frame rate, 3D film for its visuals along with a mild motion platform. This ensures that young people have an enjoyable ride that is also not too intense for older riders. The outside facade of Gru’s house is outstanding and Universal Studios’ designers should be congratulated in their creation.

The queue area begins rather bland, save for some fun pictures of minions strewn about. After getting your 3D glasses, riders are escorted into the main queue ares which features an entertaining pre-show with Gru and his three girls as it is explained that guests are here to be transformed into minions. Guests are then led into the main theater area where there are multiple seating booths – each fitting two rows of four riders all facing a projector screen. A lap bar comes down over guests’ legs and the show begins – each seating booth lifting a small distance off the floor in order to provide motion to go with the ride’s video.

Admittedly, I was not prepared for the high frame rate video of ride. The last time I experience high frame rate was while watching Peter Jackson’s first Hobbit film and it took me about three minutes or so to adjust. Unfortunately, I did not have that kind of lead-in time on the ride, which is not very long. Despite the lack of adjustment time, I had a very fun time riding Despicable Me: Minion Mayhem. I try not to spoil plot points of games or attractions – but, I will mention that the ride itself is filled with Minion fun and carnage including a very cool showing of what the little guys are capable of when they all team up and work together.

Overall Despicable Me: Minion Mayhem is a fun motion ride that kids will love and the older riders will enjoy too – just be prepared for the high frame rate video if you have never seen the technology in action before.

Arma 3 Community Guide Ground Vehicle Crew

arma3_screenshot_03_mora

July 3, 2014 — Bohemia Interactive today released a brand new video to further introduce the role of the ground vehicle crewman in Arma 3. Just as in real life, most vehicles in Arma 3 require multiple people – either controlled by AI or co-operative players – to operate efficiently, which are typically divided into a driver, gunner, and vehicle commander position. The new video takes a closer look at each of these crew member’s responsibilities, while exploring some of the core principles of ground vehicle combat.

In continuation of the official Arma 3 Community Guide series, the Ground Vehicle Crew video is narrated by Andrew Gluck (better known as Dslyecxi, former service member and leader of the popular Arma community group Shack Tactical), who discusses the strengths and weaknesses of ground vehicles, the responsibilities of each vehicle crew member, and some of the basic communication protocols. While there are many more ways to play Arma 3, it represents one possible method by which players can go more in-depth with their vehicle operations in Arma 3’s open military sandbox.

With a dozen episodes released so far, earlier Community Guides covered topics such as infantry combatmultiplayer teamwork,helicopterssniper- and launcher teamscombined arms warfareair assaultsguerrilla warfare, and the Arma 3 Zeus DLC. The complete Community Guide playlist is available on Arma 3’s official YouTube Channel.

The regular edition of Arma 3 (44.99 EUR/39.99 GBP/59.99 USD) or the Arma 3 Digital Deluxe Edition (49.99 EUR/42.99 GBP/64.99 USD) – which includes the Arma 3 soundtrack, tactical maps of Altis and Stratis, a tactical guide of more than 350 pages, and Bohemia Interactive’s debut game Arma: Cold War Assault – is available for purchase on Steam and Store.bistudio.com. A boxed version of Arma 3 is sold at many major high-street retailers.
