Thermaltake has been a major player in the PC power and cooling industry for many years having produced some legendary products such as the striking Level 10. Today however, I will be taking a look at a much newer venture that Thermaltake has branched into- the Tt eSports range.
Similar to the CM Storm peripherals that Coolermaster has branched into, the Tt eSports range promises to bring the manufacturing and design flair from their other products to your desktop.
Today I will be taking a look at the Tt eSports Challenger Ultimate which is presented as a feature rich gaming keyboard featuring everything a gamer could need, I shall be finding out whether this is the case and how well Thermaltake deliver these features.
The Challenger Ultimate is squarely aimed at the PC gamer that is looking for a good quality keyboard that will allow for vital customisable macro keys that can be the difference between victory and failure in an FPS or MMO. Or the difference between losing your stuff in a lava pit or being able to get back to /spawn in time, or does that only effect me?
