Turquoise, pink, white and anthracite: you rarely see these colours in combination on peripherals. They belong to the anime phenomenon Hatsune Miku, which connects music fans worldwide.
Fans of virtually generated music and gamers who are interested in Japanese subcultures might be pleased about our shop novelty. Asus TUF (The Ultimate Force, Asus' gaming division) has teamed up with the internet phenomenon Hatsune Miku and is launching a correspondingly styled peripheral set. It consists of a keyboard, a mouse, a mouse pad and a headset.
Hatsune Miku is a virtual singer whose voice allows a large community to create their own songs. Asus has integrated her trademarks and associated colours into the set devices. In case you don't know Hatsune Miku: You can find out more below.
Keyboard: TUF Gaming K3 Gen II «Hatsune Miku Edition»
The wired keyboard is equipped with RGB-illuminated, optical-mechanical switches. Optical keystroke recognition ensures a long service life: up to 100 million keystrokes per key. Thanks to N-key rollover, the keyboard also recognises multiple keys pressed simultaneously, which can occur during intensive gaming sessions.
The keyboard has 97 keys including the numeric keypad. However, this is indented to the left and connects directly to the arrow keys. The control block keys have been removed, four of which are arranged next to the F keys in the top row. The right Alt key is also missing. This makes the device more compact than 100 per cent keyboards.
The keycaps and the top plate are designed in the style of Hatsune Miku. The plate is replaceable.
Wireless mouse and mouse pad
Like the keyboard, the wireless mouse comes in the four Hatsune Miku colours. It weighs just 65 grams. The optical sensor has an accuracy of 12,000 dpi and a sampling rate of 1000 hertz. Six buttons are available for your desired functions.
You can connect the mouse via USB, wirelessly via 2.4 GHz or Bluetooth. According to the manufacturer, you can use the mouse in Bluetooth mode for up to 134 hours on a single charge. There is an RGB-illuminated Hatsune Miku silhouette on the back of the mouse. Its colour is customisable.
The mouse pad measures 26 × 36 centimetres. The fabric surface is water-repellent and the underside is made of non-slip rubber. Hatsune Miku is depicted in all her glory on the mouse pad alone.
Headset: TUF Gaming H1 Gen II Hatsune Miku Edition
The wired headset also features the brand colours of Hatsune Miku. It weighs 297 grams and is therefore roughly in the average range for gaming headsets. 40-millimetre drivers are installed in the ear cups. The illuminated Hatsune Miku silhouette is also on the outside.
The headset enables virtual 7.1 sound. The unidirectional microphone is Teamspeak-certified - whatever that means exactly. Thanks to the USB-A cable, you can also use the headset with your Playstation 5.
Who or what is Hatsune Miku?
The virtual birth of Hatsune Miku dates back to 2007, when the voice synthesis software Vocaloid introduced the artificial character as a personification for a synthetic voice that can be used in the programme. With Vocaloid you can create artificial vocals.
Hatsune Miku quickly enjoyed great popularity and became an icon of the global music scene. Producers around the world use it to compose songs that they have sung by Hakune Miku. The character even gives real concerts. She is animated as a 3D figure on a screen. This is what it looks like:
The Hatsune Miku Community, which also serves as a platform for the global networking of fans and creatives, produces songs of various genres, illustrations and videos. In Europe, Hatsune Miku is particularly popular with young pop culture enthusiasts, anime and gaming fans and creatives from the music scene.
