Marvo Scorpion CM420 3-in-1 RGB Gaming Kit Review

There’s no shortage of high-end gaming peripherals, and I can certainly give you an opinion on literally hundreds of them, if not thousands, given how many I’ve reviewed over the last decade. However, not everyone has £100+ to drop on gaming hardware, and not everyone wants to either. However, when it comes to affordability, finding something that isn’t just cheap crap that’ll need to be replaced after five minutes can be tricky. That’s where Marvo come in, they’ve proven themselves to be a real contender for affordability and functionality. Their new bundle is no exception, delivering you a mechanical keyboard, mouse, and a mouse mat, all in one package, at a very affordable price.

You must be thinking, surely you don’t get all this for just £45, and if you do, surely they lack in features? Well, I thought so too. However, you get a 104 key fully mechanical keyboard, with anti-ghosting and n-key rollover, and a rudimentary RGB backlight system. You get a 6400 DPI optical mouse with 7 buttons, and some RGB lighting too. Even the mouse mat, which measures 750 x 280 x 3mm, has some RGB lighting. That’s a LOT of hardware for your money, and while there’s no bleeding edge technology going on here, it hardly lacks the essentials either.

Interestingly, while there is a mechanical blue switch version of this, I have the mechanical black switch model in for review. I haven’t seen mechanical black switches for a VERY long time. My old Mionix Zibal that I used for work between 2012 – 2014 and the Cherry MX 3.0 Black that replaced it.

As a child still in my 30's (but not for long), I spend my day combining my love of music and movies with a life-long passion for gaming, from arcade classics and retro consoles to the latest high-end PC and console games. So it's no wonder I write about tech and test the latest hardware while I enjoy my hobbies!
