A Walk Through 1stPlayer - A New Kid on the PC Gaming Block
1stPlayer is a Chinese PC gaming peripherals vendor that went international this Computex, entering the European market. It showed off a small range of PC gaming wares, including power-supplies, case fans, and keyboards. The PSU lineup, which includes the mainstream Steam Punk series, and the entry-level DK series, are characterized by full-modular cabling. The Steam Punk 650W has no steampunk design elements, dons a matte white body, with a white LED-illuminated fan, and a fascinating combination of power outputs (for its market positioning and Wattage), including two 4+4 pin EPS, four 6+2 pin PCIe power, six SATA power, and three Molex. This unit features 80 Plus Silver efficiency. Next up, is the all-black DK 650W, with an identical power connector loadout as the Steam Punk 650W, but with 80 Plus Bronze efficiency. Both models feature flat modular cables.
Next up, is the company's case fan series, which includes the Fire Moon, and the Fire Dancer. Both are 120 mm fans with fluid-dynamic bearing, which are capable of daisy-chaining with up to two fans (3 fans in all). The Fire Dancer series features a more pronounced silicone diffuser for its RGB LED lighting, which covers almost 2/3rds of the frame's bore and perimeter. The Fire Moon series features a thinner ring along the perimeter of the frame. Both feature vibration dampening mounts. The two are sold in packs of three fans, which includes a proprietary RGB LED hub, and an RF remote.And then there's the company's internationally debuting gaming keyboard series, beginning Black.Sir II Lite. This tenkeyless (87-key) wireless mechanical keyboard works over both Bluetooth and USB. In the USB mode, it recharges its batteries. It features Outemu Blue switches, with RGB LED-illuminated keycaps. Its electronics support full N-key rollover. The Steam Punk is a full-size (104-key) keyboard with Cherry MX Blue/Brown/Red options, red LED illumination, full N-key rollover, and a rubberized palm-rest. And finally, there's the Bullet Hunter full-size keyboard, which features Outemu Blue switches, RGB LED illumination, a reprogrammable analog volume wheel, and media buttons.Lastly, there's the Baboon King, which is a desk mat measuring 1,000 mm x 400 mm x 5 mm (WxDxH), with a double-layer fabric surface, red-hemming along the borders, rubber and Spandex making up the primary materials, and an anti-slip underside.

Confirmed.
Yet another boring company makes more boring C-grade hardware and peripherals. Won't be surprised if I see those PSUs in my workshop next year, stacked right next to exploded Gamemax and Aerocool units.
I mean you can't chalk that up to lacking English skills...
Ah.... I need to read :D
