Tt esports showcased a range of CES 2013 peripherals, starting with a deep dive into the Chow series audio lineup. The presenter explains the Draco Captain headset, highlighting its 50 mm drivers, large ear cups, and suitability for long sessions, emphasizing its dual role for music lovers and gamers. A notable feature is the flip-open ear cup design which allows quick switching between listening to music and engaging with friends, a functionality aimed at DJs and casual gamers alike. The price point of 79.99 USD is positioned against the Chow series and its premium signatures, with removable cables and a sleek matte finish that complements the Safira mouse lineup. The segment then transitions to color options for the Safira mice, emphasizing personalization with gloss finishes in multiple colors beyond the original black matte version, underscoring Thermaltake’s aim to expand its product family while keeping the same core features. The host then introduces a cable management accessory, the Gallero cable bungee, which uses a simple magnet mechanism to prevent mouse cables from snagging on other gear, positioned at an affordable MSRP of 4.99 USD. The discussion returns to mice, including the Volos MMO mouse with 14 macro keys, adjustable weights, and internal memory for profiles, underscoring TT esports' commitment to high customization for MMO and FPS gamers. The host reflects on the Mecha G1 and Prime keyboard line, noting the introduction of brown switches and upcoming reds and blues, while highlighting backlighting options and a Korean-designed Prime variant that features a distinct Escape key visual and color-coded keys for improved in-game performance. The overall tone remains practical and shopper-focused, pairing feature overviews with MSRP and refresh cycles for the core Mecha and Prime keyboard families, signaling a strategy to incrementally broaden their mechanical keyboard and gaming mouse ecosystems without overwhelming users with unnecessary options.
