Overview
Take Command of Your Destiny
- The Sound BlasterX Vanguard K08 is designed to keep you on top of your
game.
- Crafted with ultra responsive and durable custom-made OMRON mechanical
switches, the compact keyboard with 109 customizable keys, an ergonomically
designed body, clean matte surface and fully programmable ambient-reactive
lighting perfectly delivers your every command with pinpoint precision and
speed.
First PERCEIVE... Now REACT and EXECUTE
- As games evolve to become faster and fiercer, so do the needs of gamers.
Our audio products have always offered enhanced audio clarity and positional
placement for you to PERCEIVE what's going on but gaming is much more than
just perception.
- Whether you are on a race track roaring around corners or fending off
hordes of demons, not only do you need to PERCEIVE what's happening, you also
need to REACT accordingly and EXECUTE your actions reliably, decisively and
accurately.
- So we asked ourselves, why stop at just audio?
- Today, we give you fresh power at your fingertips. New gear designed just
for you, the gamer, to give you the best P.R.E (Perceive, React and Execute)
experience you've ever known.
Hardware
Meet PRES, our professionally customized OMRON switch
- Co-designed with OMRON, PRES (Perceive-React-Execute Switches) are custom
mechanical switches professionally developed for high actions per minute
gaming and typing comfort with a centered light guide for a brilliant RGB
backlighting experience. Built for durability and reliability, each switch can
withstand over 70 million keystrokes and feature double cross-point technology
for fail-safe contacts.
- PRES allows you to reach your full potential, offering quick input action
and instantaneous rapid-fire keystrokes while minimizing typos and mistakes -
giving you the perfect balance of speed and control.
25% Faster Response and 12.5% Faster Actions Per Minute
- In a world where 1 milisecond is a matter between winning or losing, the
speed of your keyboard response is absolutely crucial. While the default
travel distance of most mechanical keyboards is 2.0mm, the Vanguard K08 is
designed with shorter travel of 1.5mm. This means you only have to depress the
keys by 3/4 of the usual distance before a command is fired off, and
translating into an important in-game reaction and execution.
- With some game mechanics requiring you to mash a button really fast in
order to do maximum damage to a boss or just to pry a door open, Vanguard's
PRES with a total travel depth of 3.5mm, as opposed to the standard 4.0mm,
allows you to fire off more keypresses in the same time.
- For example, let's say you mash a single key on a normal keyboard for a
minute, and register 420 keypresses. With the Vanguard, you'd be able to pull
off 48 more keypresses (468 total) in the same amount of time for an
additional 12.5% more hits dealt to a boss or 12.5% more words per minute (if
you're the sort who like creating walls of text).
100% More Reliable
- Unlike normal mechanical switches with single connectors, we've partnered
with OMRON to implement cross-point technology for fail-safe contacts in PRES.
With dual connectors in each switch, each PRES is guaranteed to fire off even
in the event of one connector failing due to oxidation or dirt particles. Our
keyboard may just be the first to endure a sandstorm and still be fully
operational .
26-Key Rollover with Anti-Ghosting Technology
- Even with 10 fingers and 10 toes, you'll only be able to hit 20 keys at
any one time - and that leaves 6 more to spare! This means we've totally
eliminated all causes of keyboard input lag, jams and ghosting unless you're a
faceroller.
