Introducing the ROCCAT Titan Switch – Tactile and Fast!

Hamburg, 31st May 2018 - ROCCAT presents the Titan Switch Tactile, the first mechanical switch designed in-house in cooperation with TTC, a leading manufacturer in its field. The Titan Switch Tactile is the perfect synthesis of competitive speed, first-class typing feel and striking aesthetics. ROCCAT’s challenge was to make a more responsive and swift switch. The first step was to reduce the actuation point from 2 to 1.8 mm, keeping in focus the quality feel of the key stroke. In addition, the switch bouncing time was reduced by 20%, this was achieved by optimizing the ROCCAT firmware working in conjunction with high-quality components, therefore securing the stability of the switch. The crisp, tactile pressure point paired with solid precisio...

#LetsPlayMay – Shining a Positive Light on Family Gaming

The world is a very judgemental place, and when you bring children into it, it becomes even more judgemental than you originally thought. Even more so when you throw video games into the mix, with both parents and non-parents scowling at the idea of your child playing "toxic video games". #LetsPlayMay seems to be wanting to change that mindset. The slight mentioning that a child plays video games is usually enough these days to have people attack the parents of said child. Online users calling the parents lazy, or accusing the parents of neglect are just a few examples I’ve seen. I have also experienced this attitude. There’s also the current political situation which I’m not going to go into, but it keeps the long running “belief” that children playing video games with violence lead t...

Bomber Crew Secret Weapons DLC – Biggles In A Bomber

The first DLC for Bomber Crew has arrived in the form of Bomber Crew Secret Weapons. Time to strap on a pair of flying goggles and a warm coat and get out there. Chocks away! What's new? Well what's new I hear you asking. Well there are a couple of new weapons and a new campaign. There is also some new livery and outfits for the crew that are quite cool. The new campaign is set in a very cold wintery Europe, there is snow everywhere, and as such the enemy planes are a little harder to see. There is also a new experimental enemy aircraft just to keep you on your toes. The premise of the game is still fairly simple, bomb this, drop that and don't get blown away. The game hasn't become any easier, and the new mission isn't really designed for the new player, so build up your aircraft, ge...
