Just in: Thermaltake's Shock One headset and Meka G1 keyboard!

Gallery: Take a peak at the latest Thermaltake gaming gear - a surround sound headset and a retro mechanical keyboard.

We just got in the latest of Thermaltake's new red and black gaming kit - a new mechanical keyboard and a rather striking new headset.

The Meka G1 is a kind of retro design. It's all black and red and angry looking, like any good gaming device, but it also harks back to the pre-Cambrian days of beige box computing in its curves and heavy mechanical keys.

The Shock One is 5.1 surround sound headset, and it continues the black and red theme. It's pretty comfy looking, too, and features an epically long cable - you can probably walk all the way to the fridge and back and still listen to 12 year olds argue about hacks in Black Ops.

Anyhoo, check out our out of the box gallery of pics, and keep an eye out for full reviews in an upcoming issue of Atomic.

Hawkeye Dec 9, 2010 12:32 PM	Getting eaten alive by our CMS :) I'm beating it with a rolled up newspaper as we speak...
Hawkeye Dec 9, 2010 12:42 PM	And there they go!
wayke Dec 9, 2010 12:54 PM	I like the Jack extensions int the keyboard.
phatbeat Dec 9, 2010 1:01 PM	Wow that keyboard really is Old Skool!
Meowkitty Dec 9, 2010 2:09 PM	ooooo, i'm looking for a keyboard....looking forward to the review. USB placement and headphone jacks seems a nice touch. I like a nice touch.
codecreeper Dec 9, 2010 6:59 PM	Yeah but does it work?
TheFrunj Dec 9, 2010 7:17 PM	Meowkitty, codecreeper, FWIW the prototype felt pretty great at Computex :)
Dread Emperor Dec 10, 2010 7:41 AM	Wow... At first glance it looked exactly like the 15 year old IMB keyboard I'm stuck with right now, at work... O_o
Spectre Dec 13, 2010 10:29 AM	Be great to see a head-to-head: this keyboard vs the new Razer BlackWidow keyboard. Both mechanical keyboards aimed at gamers.
Hawkeye Dec 13, 2010 11:50 AM	I suspect the Blackwidow's going to win - when I played with it at Gamescom it was seriously awesome.
jroc8201 Mar 5, 2011 9:35 PM	I just bought this shock one gaming headset, it works, it is the worst $136 dollers, i have ever spent. shore music is ok, but actually playing bad comany 2 and bf2 the sound distorts because there is so much bass you cannot change anything in there software, DTS surround sound does not work, Equalizer does not work, it squashes your your head in it is that tight and cannot be adjusted , tho you can adjust to suit your big head, IMO it should only be worth $40 for its looks. its useless for gaming.
jroc8201 Mar 5, 2011 9:36 PM	i damn hope centrecom refunds or exchanges this item.
jroc8201 Mar 5, 2011 9:39 PM	if you open you go into program files it actually has wmp sound there for the left and right speaker to test it after you have changed your settings, but you cannot change settings as nothing works, how can you test the sound if its allready as a wmp and it dont let you save it in any shock one folders.
