The lovely people at Cougar Gaming South Africa sent over some goodies as they know I am a big fan of Cougar Products. On my desk, I have a range of Cougar products, which make my setup perfect for work, gaming and just getting the job done. See my ultimate computer setup article.
Cougar kindly sent over the Cougar VANTAR AX BLACK Aluminum RGB Scissor-Switch Keyboard as well as the Cougar AIRBLADER Extreme Lightweight Gaming Mouse.
Let’s take a look at the Cougar VANTAR AX BLACK first!
The Vantar AX Black is made of solid aluminium alloy with CNC craftsmanship and is sandblasted to give the surface a superior textured finish. The unibody metal frame gives the keyboard a modern & concise appearance. The keyboard has a minimalistic sophisticated look, even though it is a gaming keyboard, so this keyboard will work nicely for dual setups.
The Vantar AX Black can be adjusted to two levels and on its lowest setting, sits at only 15mm. Whether you are using the keyboard at a gaming or office setup, the Vantar AX Black will blend right in.
The slick scissor switches bring users a superior response for a great gaming experience. When typing emails or documents, the flat keycaps deliver the best typing experience. The VANTAR AX BLACK is equipped with anti-ghost technology bringing an accurate response in multi-key commands at the same time!
If RGB is your thing, and it certainly is mine, there are a variety of RGB light effects and various modes for different lighting effects.
Overall the Cougar VANTAR AX BLACK Aluminum RGB Scissor-Switch Keyboard is a great looking keyboard, feels great to use and makes the task easy, no matter what the mission is, and at R999, it is well worth the money.
Let’s take a look at the Cougar AIRBLADER Extreme Lightweight Gaming Mouse.
If you are looking for a super lightweight mouse, well then the Cougar Airblader is for you.
At just 62 grams, you will feel like you are holding air. The hollow design makes the mouse light, which is perfect for those long gaming sessions. The mouse also has all the right curves to ensure that you are comfy when the enemies are coming for you.
The Airblader features high quality mechanical micro switches, which not only gives you the best performance and durability, but let’s you click up to 50 million clicks! These switches also help you keep the response time down. The gaming-grade scroll encoder provides smooth, accurate scrolling for accurate precision, for up to 2 million cycles a lifetime.
To provide a stable and consistent click, the COUGAR BOUNCE-ON tension system is used, which uses a metal spring to eliminate the random bounce between the button and switch, for precision clicking.
When you need the most accurate cursor control, the Airblader supports up to 16000 DPI, is capable of delivering perfect tracking and offers deadly precision.
The Ultraflex cable, which is made of a woven material, minimizes drag and interference so that nothing gets in your way.
The virgin-grade PTFE skates of the AIRBLADER offer a smooth, effortless glide with low friction, which makes the mouse more responsive and agile while gaming.
The COUGAR UIX software, installed on your computer, lets you easily customize the Airblader. With its convenient and intuitive interface, the COUGAR UIX lets gamers build customized functionality for the keys as well as set macros. One can configure 3 modes as well as 6 configurable buttons, to get customised combos.
Overall, the AIRBLADER Extreme Lightweight Gaming Mouse offers a no-nonsense mouse, that delivers when you need it most, for R899!
The Cougar VANTAR AX BLACK Keyboard and the Cougar AIRBLADER Extreme Lightweight Gaming Mouse are great minimalistic alternatives to gaming keyboards and mice.
