The newly renamed ARCTIC (previously Arctic Cooling), is already branching out with its Arctic Equipment Series of gaming peripherals including a new keyboard and two gaming mice.

The keyboard, K381, is characterized especially by its extremely flat design. This makes it a very space-saving keyboard. The simple design of the keyboard highlights the style, quality and functionality. Although the K381 is very narrow and thin, with a height of only 12 mm (20 mm at the rear end), it offers 12 office function keys, buttons for volume control, a number pad and arrow keys in a regular size everything that an adult keyboard offers.

It is available in both a black and white model. The K381 comes with a 2 year limited warranty. The keyboard is already available in the market. The MSRP is US$ 24.95 / 17.45 € (excl. VAT).

M551 and M571 both have a resistant surface coating which helps to maintain the grip and touch. Their ultra‐high sensitivity leads to unparalleled precision, adjustable from 800, 1,600 to 2,400 dpi. The M551 has a LED indication light that displays the selected sensitivity level. The ergonomic designs of the mice give maximum comfort even after long hours of usage. The back and forth thumb button helps users to navigate the web more conveniently.

The M571, an enhanced version of M551, is targeting professional users. It offers a third mouse button, which allows any multi‐fire setting or other functions. Users can personalize the weight of their mouse according to their preferences and practices by four weights of 6.5 grams each. All in all, these mice are great choices for surfing and gaming.

The mice, M551 and M571 will be available in September 2010 with a 2 year limited warranty. The MSRP for M551 is US$ 24.95 / 17.90 €, for the M571 US$ 29.95 / 20.65 €, excl. VAT.
