From the left, Siege M 04 of the gaming mouse and Vanguard K 08 of the gaming keyboard. The same taste design is given.


Vanguard K 08 just grabs the package, you can see that it is a sharp and heavy body.


It also withstands hard use, with a mechanical switch with high durability of 70 million keystrokes. The pushing pressure of the key is a light touch of 45 grams.


The key mechanical switch adopts a custom mechanical switch - PRES (Perceive - React - Execute Switch) developed jointly with Omron Switch and Devices.


Inside the box there was a body of Vanguard K 08, 3 leaflets, warranty documents, and a separate palm rest.


Vanguard K 08 is a 104 key type full-size keyboard including a numeric keypad, and it has become quite gussely built.


In addition to the normal keys, five macro keys that can set actions are lined up on the left.


In the upper right corner of the main unit, control keys of multimedia relation line up ......


Roller type volume control is mounted on the numeric keypad. As the surface is given uneven processing, it seems to be able to operate certainly in any situation.


A fine pattern is engraved on the reverse side, I feel it is a design that does not pull out the details to the detail.


On the back is a USB 2.0 pass-through port that connects a USB cable and a mouse etc.


Vanguard K 08 is a wired type keyboard and is equipped with a nylon braided USB cable with a length of about 2 m.


The tip is equipped with a connector written as "CONNECTOR" connected to the keyboard body and a dedicated connector written as "PASSTHROUGH" for pass-through port.


On the other hand, the package of Siege M 04 looks something like this.


It is designed to be right handed only, and in the initial state, it is possible to change the moving speed of the cursor by changing the mouse resolution (DPI) to 3 levels with the switch under the wheel.


Besides the mouse body, the enclosed items are three leaflets and guarantee related documents.


Like the keyboard, because it is fitted with a nylon knitted USB cable of about 2 meters in length, it is likely to be able to withstand hard use.


In the thumb part, you can arrange buttons that can assign actions freely, so it is possible to respond to games that require immediate judgment.


Design processing on the bottom is the same taste as the keyboard. The infrared LED sensor can be set between 200 and 12000 DPI and three patterns can be memorized and switched.


A full-color LED is built in the milky part just above the bottom so you can shine with the settings you like.


That's why the following movie was made to focus on preset patterns. The light emission pattern and speed are freely customizable, and you can freely choose the color from 16.8 million colors, and you can manage it with special software.

The Vanguard K 08 main body is heavy construction with a weight of 1.3 kg, and you can feel the robustness which does not even rake even with some intense operation. If you install the palm rest, it seems that you can continue using it for a long time without getting tired.


On the other hand, Siege M 04 had a reasonable size and weight, and it was built with no skimming on the lightness of the skusca. Thanks to antiskid processing applied to the surface touched by the finger and moderate total height, we could use it without any discomfort even if we continued to use for a while.
