Genesis today announced the Vanad 500 multi-function device for gamers. Genesis Vanad 500 is headphone holder for gamers. Equipped with anti-slip feet, its design provides greater stability for heavier gaming headsets. When it comes to functionality, the manufacturer took some extra steps forward. The device is equipped with a flexible bungee type arm. It holds the mouse cable in an optimal position, which eliminates friction on the desk as well as translates into greater freedom and fluidity of movement.

The Genesis Vanad 500 gaming character is further enhanced by its in-built illumination. This way the user can create a unique atmosphere for its gaming rig and personalize their space. There are seven illumination colors to select as well as two function modes - continuous and neon. The in-build LED strip illuminates the holder along the edges and runs to its base, which is also equipped with LEDs and a switch for changing the work mode.



The Genesis Vanad 500 holder also has a unpluggable USB cable as well as a two-port hub, which can be used to connect more devices, for example a keyboard or a mouse. Gamers interested in the multi-functional Genesis Vanad 500 device will have to pay around PLN 90. The accessory will be available at stores at the end of July 2020.

Technical specification:
  • size: 253 x 128 x 128 mm
  • illumination: yes
    • work mode: continuous, neon
    • colors: red, green, blue, violet, yellow, navy blue, white
  • interface: USB, unpluggable 1.5 m cable
  • hub: two USB 2.0
  • system requirements: Windows XP/Vista/7/8/10, Linux, Android

Missed opportunity,...

Too bad, the shape of this thing is actually very much like those fans. Had they made it an actual desktop fan too rather then just an LED (RGB) bungee, two-port hub and headset mount it might have made it more useful.

Super hard pass,....

Bungee, headphone rest and a usb hub for 20€ is actually a bargain. Although I don't personally need any of the 3 features, I'm guessing there's a ton of people that do.

I really like it, be better if it was a 4 port USB hub is my only complaint and maybe the headphone stand bit be a bit better shaped.
