headset looks remarkably similar to Siberia V3 or superlux 662 especially, hopefully the background ambient noise suppression is top notch as the best I have ever personally used are the razer kraken v2 pro, however, they are fugly when wearing them and the earcups themselves are not quite as deep as looks give them, not to mention they use very thin 2 sided tape to hold the material on.
hyperx cloud2/cloudx ambient noise is not as amazing as some folks claim it to be (earcups are not deep enough so pads are not thick enough to really absorb anything) the mentioned superlux 662 claim "excellent noise attenuation" they do VERY little in this regard.
if a maker of these things bothered am sure they could make truly excellent noise suppression with varying layers of material (good cup depth with enough room for 90+% of ear types, thick enough padding that is easily removed for cleaning, different layers of closed and open type foams so can absorb high and low noise type deal)
As for the keyboard it looks nice, however, one thing I do not like about the keyboards that use lighting, it is just another thing to fail in time and every keyboard I have ever seen that use the lighting, without the light on, the keys are nigh on impossible to read vs "standard" keys that are well built using engraved type lettering which tend to last MUCH longer.
had a steel series/ideazon merc keyboard that lasted me ~10 years before it finally gave out, loved it to bits, sadly the replacement merc stealth was no where close to as durable (i.e cheaply made)
They should have made the mouse able to do up to ~8k dpi, while 2400 is not "terrible" I would not consider it a high end mouse beyond some of the specs, seems like a let down even more so because of that, likely will not be low cost either.
1) It's a membrane keyboard, but the tactile bump is really light, so it kind of feels like a linear switch that you have to bottom out to actuate, missing the point of using a linear mechanical switch? 2) It's a membrane keyboard with a noticeable tactile bump, so one could argue that it feels like a Cherry MX Clear or Input Club Halo switch, except that you again have to bottom it out, missing the point once again? 3) It's a membrane keyboard with some kind of click-producing mechanism which might or might not correspond to the point where the key actuates?
Oh God, you're right. So, in practice, it's somewhere between 1) and 2) and looks like you can swap out the awful-looking caps for other Cherry-compatible ones. Dunno why you'd go to the bother, though...

When they say "mechanical-like", do they mean:1) It's a membrane keyboard, but the tactile bump is really light, so it kind of feels like a linear switch that you have to bottom out to actuate, missing the point of using a linear mechanical switch?
2) It's a membrane keyboard with a noticeable tactile bump, so one could argue that it feels like a Cherry MX Clear or Input Club Halo switch, except that you again have to bottom it out, missing the point once again?
3) It's a membrane keyboard with some kind of click-producing mechanism which might or might not correspond to the point where the key actuates?

You forgot one:4) It's a membrane keyboard that feels like a membrane keyboard but is significantly more expensive.

That's pretty much what you're getting with 2).Lord of the Bored - Thursday, February 1, 2018 - link
It is a membrane keyboard with a plastic frame on the plunger so the keys don't wobble as much.Old_Fogie_Late_Bloomer - Friday, February 2, 2018 - link
