    Roccat Suite Visit

    I first met with Roccat at CES 2012 were they introduced their product line and some of the advancements they had made with Roccat Talk.  This year they have taken the next step and introduced some great new products including an upgrade to the Kone {+} called the Kone XTD and mechanical keyboard. 

    The mouse is basically the same but with an upgraded image sensor and better engineered scroll wheel.
    The keyboard has also been upgraded to a mechanical design and features a variety of lighting effects including a really cool ghosting option that will highlight and fade out the last key you pressed.

    Roccat also highlighted their power grid software which can turn your smart phone into a visual remote for your PC.  The Application is free and interfaces with the Roccat software to show you basically anything you want about your PC including temperature and activity but can be expanded to show custom things like game stats and what your partners in the game may be doing.

    The grids are completely customizable and can be configured per application or by screen and the possibilities are almost limitless.
