azraelBad move, in my opinion. At least to me, Turtle Beach is known for great sound cards ages ago and middle-of-the-road headsets more recently. ROCCAT, however, is a much stronger gaming brand. If only one brand can survive it would've made more sense to move forward with ROCCAT. But that's just me.

ZoneDymoyeah I think the problem is knowing that your perception is not necessarily the worlds perception.
I agree though, Turtle Beach once had a great name but they had a bad spell of just unreliable cheaply made products.
Roccat though...idk if that ever had a really good name, just seemed like the more flashy but cheaply made gaming stuff.

That said I wouldnt mind one of them Roccat Vulcan 2 keyboards....

OneMoarwelp thats anouther gaming brand dead

roccat has been on a slow downward sprial since turdbeech bought them

time to throw all my roccat gear in the trash and go back to steel series

cvaldesI'm always perplexed when I reach comments like this.

Your Roccat gears functions the same way today as it did yesterday. The fact that Turtle Beach is discontinuing the brand doesn't change what you already have.

Now if you hereby swear that you'll never buy a single Turtle Beach product ever again, I understand that. Someone else will get your money in the future. It's not like Roccat did anything to harm you today, they sold out 5+ years ago.

But tossing all of your functioning Roccat gear into the trash now just needlessly and irresponsibly generates more e-waste.

But do as you please. The PC hardware world thrives on consumer spending and if some super-geniuses like you toss away fine hardware to replace it with something new, well shareholders of those companies will rejoice. So thanks for thinking about the economy.

:):p:D
:lovetpu:

OneMoarsorry but I don't support the enshitification of once good brands
you or your company does something stuipd you deserve to be imediately religated to the trash bin all evidence of this thing you bought then ruined wiped from the face of the earth so you loose as much money as possible

bonehead123If that gawdy, 80's-lookin box thing is their idea of a USB dongle, then that explains why they were destined to die a painful death, even under the watchful eyes of their new overlords, who pushed their own formally well-regarded brand into the ground by cutting every possible corner just to get their products out the door, by prioritizing profits over quality.......

unbonkI have this mouse (I like the build quality of all Roccat mice I've had btw) and the 'box' you're talking about is not the dongle. It is a little charging station that you can throw the mouse on to charge, and the actual dongle, as you can see in the picture below, is a small dongle similar to most other mouse dongles, which is just plugged into the front of the charging station. The purpose of plugging the dongle into the charging station is so you don't have to waste two USB ports to charge and connect to the mouse. Also, the mouse has a USB C port on the front if you want to charge it with its included cable instead. Hope this helps.

bonehead123Uh huh.....

Well that's a nice thought about needing 2x ports to charge & use the rodent, but this is easily avoided by using an AC charger with a USB port on it, like all those old chargers you have laying around from old phones, tablets etc.....therefore you only need to use 1 port on your pc to connect the rodent, but regardless, that box is still fuggily AF IMHO :D

trsttteI really can't understand who makes this type of decisions, so you have a reputable brand name very well recognized in the market it operates, with products people like and with a good reputation, and you just throw in the garbage bin!? What if it was stale the last couple of years, which one will be easier: introduce a new name to a market filled with recognizable names like Razer, Logitech, Glorious, etc. or revive the brand everyone knows and loves?

Fucking morons...
