Kode5 CM Storm Rocks COMPUTEX 2009 19/05/2009 22:05
True Gaming Innovation on Display

Taipei, Taiwan, May, 2009 – CM Storm is preparing to rock COMPUTEX 2009 with an exciting range of new products for the true gaming aficionados. Taking the lead at this year’s show is the new Sentinel Advance Professional Grade Gaming Mouse, accompanied by a full range of meticulously crafted CM Storm Battle Pad gaming surfaces. Also on display will be the widely acclaimed CM Storm Sniper Gaming Chassis, and its newly released cousin, the CM Storm Scout, which has already received its fair share of praise and awards from the global technology and gaming press. If that’s not all, the CM Storm Labs will reveal still classified prototypes of upcoming innovations to selected partners from the industry and media.

CM Storm Debuts Professional Grade Gaming Peripherals



Two years in the making, the first gaming mouse from CM Storm, The Sentinel Advance, will be revealed in all its glory at COMPUTEX 2009. Designed to search and destroy, the fine sleek curves emphasize an ergonomic and muscle-forming shape that provides solid and detailed control to truly discerning gamers. Users can alter the sensitivity ranges through a central control panel and activate profiles stored in the internal memory by triggering programmable profile buttons and toggle between modes swiftly, like a sentinel, with quick and precise reaction force. Accompanying the CM Storm Sentinel is a new range of tactical surfaces, especially designed to facilitate fast sensor reaction and tracking response time. A full range of CM Storm Battle Pads will be presented together with the CM Storm Sentinel Advance at COMPUTEX.

Find us at Cooler Master’s COMPUTEX 2009 Booth:
Nan-Gang Exhibition Hall on 1F, Booth I1224, I1323
