of different streaming devices
under their belts. The HD60S is

casing are clearly labelled, and
the kit even comes with its own
built-in software editor, so you
can get started on your path to
internet stardom straight out of
the box.
Optimised for those with high-
end gaming computers that want
to take their streaming to the
next level, the HD60S enables
1080p, 60 frame per second
quality, packing a punch where
it counts. The inclusion of the

bad boy, it’ll be worth your while

look like a ten-year-old Corolla

connection, so you can
customise it any way you want.

product weighing in at a mere
107g, the mouse is perfect for
longer gaming sessions – LAN
night, anyone?
A fully-configurable button
layout and ambidextrous
design adds to the appeal of
what may be one of the best
gaming mice available today.

themselves have been honed
to near perfection, with the
inclusion of a metal spring
tensioning system as well as
metal pivot hinges to allow
for clear feedback and rapid
response.

colour options and the 32 hour
battery life, and you’ve got a
winner.

lowest latency – fastest speed – possible.
