Creative Labs Sound BlasterX Vanguard K08 Keyboard

Designed with equal respect to ergonomics, precision, and looks, the Creative Labs Sound BlasterX Vanguard K08 keyboard is a devastating combo for any competitive gamer. It’s made with responsive, custom-made OMRON mechanical switches that are considerably faster than those found on standard keyboards. Thanks to the shorter actuation distance of 1.5 mm (most keyboards are 2 mm), the board allows you to move on to the next key 25-percent faster—which can be crucial in the heat of battle. The keycaps allow the backlighting to shine through—not to mention the switches will last up to 70 million lifetime keystrokes.

With a sleek, matte-black colorway, the Vanguard K08 appears to be all business out of the box. But once plugged in, it offers a wide array of color customizations to match your setup or change it up with something new. Set it to a soothing glow or go full rainbow cycle. The choice is yours. Plus, each key on the board is fully programmable, so you can program it according to your favorite games. You won’t have to worry about pressing multiple keys at once, either. With 26-key rollover, the Vanguard can keep up with even the fastest typists and gamers. It also comes with a removable attachment to support your wrists and can be height-adjusted to your liking.

With seven programmable buttons, a PixArt PMW 3360 optical sensor, and customizable RGB lighting, the Creative Labs Siege Gaming Mouse is fit for gamers of all kinds. It’s made with an ergonomic shape with fingerprint-resistant rubber for a secure grip when the going gets rough. Pair it with the Vanguard K08 keyboard to complete your setup.
