Creative has spent 2016 revitalizing its gaming division, and now it’s completing that process by getting back into the keyboard and mouse market.
Vanguard’s Omron switch compared to what is likely a standard Cherry MX switch that you’d find in a lot of competing keyboards.
Creative is launching the Sound BlasterX Vanguard Mechanical Keyboard and Siege Gaming Mouse with preorders available now (and at a discounted price). The new devices will begin shipping December 20. The Vanguard is a full-size keyboard with custom Omron switches that don’t need to travel as far as competing switches to activate. It also features media keys and Sound BlasterX’s Aurora RGB LED lighting, which is one of the stand out visual features of Creative’s impressive under-monitor Katana soundbar. The Siege is the company’s “professional-grade” gaming mouse, and it uses a PixArt IR LED sensor for 1:1 pixel precision. The Vanguard sells for $180 and the Siege will go for $80, but Creative is selling the keyboard for $100 and the mouse for $55 during the preorder stage that ends December 15.
