 The rather sleek looking Equalizer
Great things can be expected from the OCZ Equalizer
The gaming peripheral
market finally has another major player! Razer and Logitech better
look out behind them, OCZ is hopping into the gaming mouse market. The
company has announced
the OCZ Equalizer Laser Mouse, a gaming mouse that sports 2500 DPI, which
tops the likes of the Razer
Copperhead and Logitech
G5 gaming mice. This marks the first time the company best known for
performance memory will venture into gaming peripherals.
“OCZ’s goal is to constantly develop new cutting edge solutions that make use
of the latest technology to offer a superior user experience whether it is
editing CAD files or playing the latest games,” said Alex Mei, VP of Marketing,
OCZ Technology.
While I have enjoyed the gaming products from both Razer and Logitech over the
years, I will appreciate when OCZ's first gaming mouse is released. I
have always believed that an additional competitor in the market will only be a
win-win situation for gamers.
A more intriguing feature of the Equalizer is the "innovative" OCZ
"Triple Threat" button, which allows gamers to apparently fire three
shots with one button click. The mouse also sports six sensitivity levels
that allow gamers to switch from 400dpi up to 2,500dpi while gaming.
According to a brief test in Taiwan, the mouse appears
to work well.
One of the biggest complaints I have had about gaming mice is the ergonomic design
that is allegedly considered during creation -- even though OCZ claims the
mouse will be ergonomic, I will remain doubtful.
The Equalizer should be available soon for a MSRP of $50.
As the demands of PC gamers continues to increase in the future, don't be
surprised if more quality gaming peripherals are available on the market.
