Monoprice formed in 2002, providing consumers with various electronics from HDMI cables to 3D printers and everything in between. Since then, Monoprice built several sub-brands like Monolith, Pure Outdoor, and Stitch.  The company is now bringing the Dark Matter sub-brand into the fold to provide high-end gaming peripherals for less.

Ultralight gaming mice took off after the Finalmouse Air58 Ninja launched in 2018, and most manufacturers now have ultralight mice in their lineups. These lightweight mice are easier and faster to maneuver, making them ideal for fast-paced competitive games where players need any edge they can find.  One of the most common ways companies reduce the weight of their mice is by using a honeycomb design. The cutouts lower the amount of material used, bringing down the mouse’s weight considerably. Other common weight reduction methods include making the mouse smaller

Most keyboards use a QWERTY layout originally designed for typewriters. While most people use these keyboards daily, they aren’t the most ergonomic options and can cause repetitive strain injuries (RSIs) over time. Split keyboards are designed to be more ergonomic and place users’ hands in a more natural position.

If there’s one thing ROCCAT knows how to do, it’s creating fresh takes on aging ideas.  It takes something special to stand out in the crowded lightweight gaming mouse market. With every company advertising its mice as being the next big thing in lightweight gaming, few actually deliver a new take. ROCCAT successfully avoids mundanity with its Kone Pro Air design, but performance is another story.  The Kone Pro Air echoes its wired sibling’s best features but our review unit hit a major snag on its way to glory.  Nuts,
