The Apuris AC adapter delivers sufficient power to supply its USB (Universal Serial Bus) ports with a total power of 2A allowing you to connect up to four power-hungry USB (Universal Serial Bus) devices without data loss. & if you dont want to use the AC adapter you can simply power the hub using the supplied USB (Universal Serial Bus) cable.

The Apuri means that you can connect everything so its within reach saving you the hassle of crawling around under the desk looking for ports & from the untidiness of cables hanging over the edge of the desk.brbr SMOOTH GAMINGbr Thanks to the flexible mouse bungee the mouse cable in particular is optimally catered for. It is simply guided away from the mouses gliding area so that it doesnt get in the way during game play. There wont be any rubbing on the desktop or snagging of the cable on the edge of the desk to interfere with your gaming experience you can even adjust the length of the cable to suit & the flexible arm optimally flexes with your movements. Youll feel as if youre using a wireless mouse without the inherent disadvantages such as increased weight sudden need to change batteries or long charging times. If you dont want to use the mouse bungee it can simply be detached from the hub.brbr STYLE & ATMOSPHEREbr Contrary to many conventional hubs which live out their existence as boring boxes the ROCCAT Apuri adds style to your desktop. The unique tripod design gives the Apuri stability even during tense gaming situations. The design fits perfectly with ROCCATs new stealth style series. Bevelled edges & futuristic lines give the hub a unique look.

Mode Switch Button Six Illuminated Status Keys Key Deactivation Anti-Ghosting Capability Macro Manager Compact Design THE ONLY KEYBOARD FEATURING MACRO KEYS FOR THE THUMB br More space on the desktop without the need to forgo all the usual functions. This & a whole lot more besides is offered by the compact ROCCAT Arvo. Its the first keyboard to offer a gaming mode integrated into the numpad & unique thumbster keys. These three extra keys can be assigned macros or the practical timer function which cant be found on any other keyboard on the planet.brbr SIZE MATTERSbr Its no coincidence that the ROCCAT Arvo is part of the ROCCAT Smart Desktop Management System. In contrast to other keyboards it only has a tiny desktop footprint. As a result neither the mousepad nor mouse will get in your way plus optimum use is made from the gaming zone. The Arvo is perfect even for arrow key gamers who prefer to position their keyboards diagonally to the monitor & mousepad as it doesnt collide with the monitor or hang over the edge of the desk.brbr DUAL-ASSIGNMENT NUM PADbr You dont have to sacrifice anything with the ROCCAT Arvo. The smaller size has been achieved simply by combining the numpad & arrow-key pad. This means that it has all the usual keyboard functions yet it takes up considerably less space. Its easy to switch between normal & gaming mode simply by pressing the mode switch button. In gaming mode the arrow keys are illuminated in blue which means gaming even in the dark isnt a problem. Whats more two additional freely programmable macro keys are available which are positioned for optimum access to the left & right of the arrow keys.brbr UNIQUE THUMBSTER KEYSbr Youll find three further macro keys positioned beneath the spacebar. These can be individually programmed & can be easily operated using the thumb without being pressed accidently. At last theres something new for your thumb to do apart from just hitting the spacebar. From now on you can cast healing or attack spells with your thumb. Another unique function is the ROCCAT Timer which allows the time it takes for special items to revive to be timed to perfection in many games. The ROCCAT Timer can be executed paused or stopped to within a fraction of a second.brbr PERFECT KEYSTROKEbr Its not just its compact design that makes the ROCCAT Arvo the perfect gaming keyboard. It also has an unusually positive keystroke. Because of their optimum height keys can be pressed with particular precision. Being of medium height means theyre not just comfortable for typing they also offer a perfect pressure point.brbr INTEGRATED METAL PLATEbr The Arvo is as good as indestructible thanks to the integrated metal plate. It forgives those little temper tantrums during gaming & the thump on the edge of the desk that frequently ensues without so much as a murmur. The rugged metal plate also means its perfectly weighted & therefore exceptionally stable. Furthermore the perfect gaming height can be achieved by folding out the lock-on keyboard legs which cling to any surface like little suction cups thanks to their non-slip coating. ...
