BenQ releases Zowie Celeritas II keyboard, new mousepad

Borrijit Pholdee, marketing manager of BenQ (Thailand) Co, said the company believed that an optimal and consistent keystroke was the most important feature of a keyboard. 
“With that in mind, we have focused on every aspect involving the feedback of each keystroke. In addition to heavy testing in-house, professional gamers have tested it to make sure it is stable and comfortable. That is why you might have seen the keyboard being used at major events even though it was not yet available to the public.”
Zowie Celeritas II features a more precise pre-travel, which is the distance the key has to travel before an action is performed. A high-quality iron spring allows for each keystroke to be executed with a consistent increase in force throughout while also improving durability to meet the standard required in eSports, BenQ says. 
The Celeritas II introduces an optical switch, which allows players to avoid double key presses. It also has illuminated keys, with brightness levels that can be adjusted or turned off completely. 
“We believe this allows for a more comfortable experience whether you are playing in your bedroom with the lights off or under the glare of spotlights in a tournament,” Borrijit said.
The Zowie Celeritas II will be available at all retailers, while the Zowie G-SR SE will be available at selected retailers soon.
