Sharkoon Technologies, an international supplier of high-performance, high-quality PC components and peripherals, now presents the SKILLER SGM35 and the SKILLER SGM50W. These are two gaming mice with an ambient underside illumination and an ATG4090 sensor. The SKILLER SGM35 is operated with a wired connection while the SKILLER SGM50W can also be used wirelessly and is supplied with a charging station.
The Right Connection for Any Application
After a long while since Sharkoon's last wireless mouse, the SKILLER SGM50W marks the manufacturer's return to gaming mice that can be conveniently operated via a 2.4 GHz cable-free connection. The SKILLER SG50W's specifications state a battery life of 70 hours. For recharging, the mouse can be placed on the supplied charging station, which also has handy slot for stowing the USB nano receiver. If the mouse has to be used even if its battery is discharged, it can also be charged directly via the computer's USB port and operated as usual at the same time. However, if the gaming mouse is to be used mainly with a stationary PC at home, and wireless operation is not a necessity, the identically looking SKILLER SGM35 provides a solution that is purely wired.
Precision and Control
To ensure precision and control, both mice are equipped with PTFE mouse feet and have an ATG4090 sensor with up to 6,400 DPI. Both mice also have six buttons that, in most games, can be freely assigned. No special software is, however, required for these mice.
Designed for all types of grip
The SKILLER SGM35 and the SGM50W also both have an identical shape that has been specially designed to support all common grip types and to be ideal for use with hands that are either large or particularly small. To further optimize handling and protect the buttons from grease, wear and tear, the left and right mouse buttons are made of high-quality PBT.
A Special Look
Both mice models are available in either black or white. The white versions especially catch the eye due to prominent highlights in black. A highlight is also provided by the RGB illumination, which is evenly diffused from under the mice through their transparent undersides. All the effects can be adjusted directly on the mice.
Sharkoon Technologies is an international supplier of high-quality, high-performance PC components and peripherals. Now, with the SKILLER SGH10, Sharkoon presents a headset that is based on the manufacturer's previous classic that was the SKILLER SGH1. The popular gaming headset now appears in the form of a new model that has undergone a careful modernization which retains unique visual features and, at the same time, focuses on the essentials.
mmersive Gaming Sessions
Since the SKILLER SGH10, like the previous model, is designed to provide a particularly immersive gaming experience, the manufacturer has optimized the 40-millimeter drivers and, in addition, tuned them for a particularly powerful sound. The detachable, flexible microphone has also been designed with immersion in mind and, thanks to the new pop filter, should ensure even better communication with team colleagues and in meetings.
Ultra-lightweight Design and Comfortable Fit
To allow the user to concentrate on the essentials when wearing the SKILLER SGH10, the headset is designed to be ultra-light, weighing just 253 grams. The circumaural ear pads made of air-permeable fabric are designed to provide even more comfort for wearing. There is also a spring-loaded headband suspension that automatically adjusts to the shape and size of the user's head for an optimal fit.
Wide-Ranging Connection Options
Thanks to its modular cable system, the SKILLER SGH10 is designed for both stationary PCs and consoles as well as mobile devices such as smartphones. A permanently integrated cable with a TRRS plug has been deliberately kept short at 110 centimeters for connecting to devices such as consoles and smartphones. An additional set of cables with two 3.5-millimeter stereo plugs extends the total cable length to 250 centimeters and is intended for the connection to the front or back of a PC case.
Sharkoon Technologies is an international supplier of high-quality, high-performance PC components and peripherals and is now launching the Rebel C20 ITX. Even though this PC case is primarily designed for mini-ITX mainboards as well as SFX and SFX-L PSUs, the Rebel C20 ITX should also be able to accommodate the largest graphics cards and radiators. In addition, the case can be positioned either vertically or horizontally and is available either as a version without fans or as a version with pre-installed addressable RGB fans for cooling.
Made for High-End Hardware
Despite its dimensions of just 45.7 x 20.8 x 30.1 centimeters, the Rebel C20 ITX should also be able to accommodate the largest modern graphics cards of the RTX 4090 series as well as radiators of up to 360 millimeters.
Horizontal or Vertical Installation
As the Rebel C20 ITX can be positioned either vertically or horizontally, it can not only serve as gaming PC but can also become a compact PC that fits into any living room or office room at home.
Lots of Space for Cooling
Apart from to the aforementioned radiators, a total of nine 120-millimeter fans can be installed inside the Rebel C20 ITX. The RGB version of the case, the Rebel C20 ITX RGB, is equipped with an RGB controller and three pre-installed 120-millimeter fans with addressable RGB illumination.
Protected Air Intake All Around
Both versions of the Rebel C20 ITX have paneling with perforated surfaces to provide an optimal ventilation of the installed hardware. All the main areas of air intake are additionally protected with dust filters.
Modern Connectivity on Case Front
As well as conventional USB ports, both versions of the case are equipped with USB-C and TRRS ports for an uncomplicated connection to mobile and storage devices.
Sharkoon Technologies is an international supplier of high-performance, high-quality PC components and peripherals and now presents the SKILLER SGK40. This is a three-block keyboard with an aluminium housing that should be ideal for gaming thanks to its "Edge Light" illumination as well as its comprehensive gaming software.
All-Round RGB Illumination
The Edge Light is an LED strip located on the back of the diamond-cut aluminium housing of the SKILLER SGK40 and provides another RGB highlight in addition to the usual illumination of the keys. Through the downloadable software, the illumination of both the keys and the Edge Light can be extensively customized or, if desired, completely switched off.
Pre-installed Linear Switches
In addition to the visual aspects of the keyboard, Sharkoon is fully committed to gaming with the SKILLER SGK40 and has equipped the keys with linear red switches from Huano. These require a low actuation force of 45 grams and have a short distance of two millimeters to the actuation point. The manufacture states that the keys have an operating life cycle of at least 50 million keystrokes.
Comprehensive Gaming Features through Software
The SKILLER SGK40 has various function keys for, among other things, media control. In addition to this, the software can be used to customize a wide range of aspects of the keyboard and also allows complex macros to be created with up to 391 recorded actions in total. The macros can be assigned to any one of up to 20 game profiles. Any particularly important macro can be assigned to separate key to be then quickly deployed whenever needed.
Sharkoon Technologies is an international supplier of high-quality, high-performance PC components and peripherals and is now widening its range of PC cooling fans with the launch of the Rebel F50 PWM. This illuminated 120-millimeter PC fan can be regulated within a range of 600 to 2,000 rpm and should therefore be suitable for high-end hardware as well as water-cooling systems.
Adjustable, High-Range RPM
The Rebel F50 PWM fan was specially developed for high-end hardware and water-cooling systems and is designed to deliver an airflow volume of up to 132 cubic meters per hour at a maximum of 35 decibels. However, the fan can also be regulated within a speed range of 600 to 2,000 revolutions per minute for an optimal balance between performance and quiet operation.
Decoupled Mounting
To further minimize noise levels, the Rebel F50 PWM has rubberized contact points for a decoupled mounting and thus help avoid vibration transmission onto the PC casing.
Intelligent Connections
The Rebel F50 PWM fan is equipped with a 4-pin PWM connector and a 4-pin LED connector that has a 5V-D-coded-G pinout. The fan can be conveniently connected in series with other fans in order to occupy as few connections on the mainboard as possible.
Uncomplicated Integration
The Rebel F50 PWM can be easily integrated into most illumination platforms thanks to its compatibility with Asus Aura Sync, MSI Mystic Light Sync, Gigabyte Fusion and ASRock Polychrome. The fan is available as both a black version and a white version for a matching installation in either dark- or light-colored PC hardware builds.
Sharkoon Technologies is an international supplier of high-quality, high-performance PC components and peripherals. For light-colored gaming setups, Sharkoon is now launching a white version of the Hi-Res-certified SKILLER SGH50 gaming headset. Moreover, in addition to the usual synthetic-leather ear pads, the new white version and the already available black version will each include a pair of hybrid ear pads covered with a combination of synthetic leather and fabric.
Comfortable Hybrid Ear Pads
The white version of the SKILLER SGH50 comes already fitted with the new hybrid ear pads covered in synthetic leather and fabric, while, for the usual audio sounds, the black version comes fitted with ear pads that are furnished purely with synthetic leather. Together with the headband, which automatically adapts to the shape of the head, the manufacturer aims to put even more focus on comfort with the use of the new hybrid ear pads. Of course, the hybrid ear pads are also supplied with the black version.
Certified Technology
Technically, the white version of the headset is the same as the black one, as both versions use 50-millimeter drivers that have been carefully designed and balanced by the manufacturer to enable a Hi-Res-certified sound in a frequency range from 10 hertz to 40 kilohertz. In games, this should allow enemies to be located precisely and explosions to be reproduced powerfully, while trebles, mids and bass are reproduced harmoniously when listening to music. For voice chats and video conferences, the SKILLER SGH50 is equipped with a microphone complete with pop filter. Whenever the microphone is no longer needed, it can be simply detached from the headset.
Modular Connections
Thanks to a modular set of TPE-sheathed cables, the gaming headset can be connected to all devices with common audio ports, whether PCs, consoles, or mobile devices. Using the inline controller, muting the microphone or adjusting the volume can be performed quickly and easily.
Sharkoon Technologies is an international supplier of high-performance, high-quality PC components and peripherals. Sharkoon introduces its first ever PC case that has a front panel design using real wood, setting the focus on a chic look which incorporates the use of natural materials. Two versions of the case are available: One version has a side panel made of tempered glass, where the emphasis is on appearances and showcasing the hardware inside, while the other variant concentrates on airflow, with both side panels being made of perforated metal.
Stylish Highlights for Gaming and Beyond
With the Rebel C70 RGB, Sharkoon is aiming to provide highlights that go beyond the usual areas of gaming. The wood design of the front panel should be able to blend harmoniously into surroundings such as living rooms and study rooms, where natural materials are more present. The pre-installed RGB fans also have a special warm-white illumination mode, which adds to the ambiance effects for gaming with a touch of coziness for home and office.
Form and Function in One
The case version that has a side panel made of metal, instead of glass, profits in terms of airflow thanks to the additional perforation of the panel surface. On the other hand, the version with a side panel made of tempered glass also a variety of perforated surfaces, and both models allow the modular installation of a number of fans for a strong airflow that should even cater for high-demanding hardware. In addition to the four pre-installed 120-millimeter fans with their addressable RGB illumination — one in the rear of the case and three in the front —, a mounting frame under the top panel enables the installation of up to three more 120-millimeter fans or, alternatively, one radiator up to 360 millimeters. The fans or radiator can be attached to the frame and then inserted under the top panel. For a total of eleven fans, an additional three fans or a further radiator can be installed next to the mainboard tray by first removing a section of the modular power supply tunnel.
Spacious Design Inside
A fan, HDDs or SSDs can also be modularly pre-mounted in a bundle on a mounting bracket and then inserted in the case behind the mainboard tray. Up to three 3.5-inch HDDs or up to three 2.5-inch SSDs can find space inside. The desired CPU cooler can have a maximum height of 16.5 centimeters and the PSU can come with a length of up to 27 centimeters. In addition, graphics cards with a maximum length of 40 centimeters can be conveniently placed on the graphics card holder with its rubberized support surface. Alternatively, the graphics card can be mounted vertically in the case using the optionally available Rebel C Series Vertical Graphics Card Kit 4.0.
Modern Connection Options
The Rebel C70 provides a high degree of future-proof compatibility for connectivity with mobile devices. These will find a USB-C port on top of the case, and there is also a TRRS socket for audio output and microphone. Next to these, there are additional USB 3.0 ports for up to two further devices.
Sharkoon Technologies is an international supplier of high-quality, high-performance PC components and peripherals. With the C60, Sharkoon is launching a new Rebel series PC case that, this time, aims to provide a particularly elegant presentation of the built-in hardware thanks to a tempered-glass front panel as well as a tempered-glass side panel.
Smart Airflow
So that the hardware is not only optimally showcased but can also be fully utilized, Sharkoon relies on an airflow in which fresh air is drawn in through the bottom of the case while heated air is transported out through the rear panel and the perforated side panel. To achieve this, the Rebel C60 RGB is already supplied with four 120-millimeter fans in the corresponding locations. A particular eye-catcher among these addressable RGB fans is the bottom panel fan, which has been installed at an angle. To prevent dust and dirt being transported from underneath the case into its inside, the entire bottom panel is protected with a detachable dust filter.
Modular Expansion of the Airflow
If desired, the airflow of the Rebel C60 RGB can be further optimized. Thus, an additional 120-millimeter fan can be installed behind the mainboard tray and three more can be placed under the top panel. Instead of fans, the top panel also offers space for a radiator of up to 360 millimeters, and in addition to this, the two pre-installed fans next to the mainboard tray can be replaced with a radiator measuring 240 millimeters. As a usual feature of the Rebel series cases, the easy installation of fans and any HDDS or SSDs is provided by a mounting frame and a mounting bracket, which can be removed from the case, equipped with the hardware, and then reinserted.
Spacious Showcase
With the use of the mounting bracket, up to three 3.5-inch HDDs or up to three 2.5-inch SSDs can be installed behind the mainboard tray in just a few steps. According to the manufacturer, the Rebel C60 RGB also offers enough space for a graphics card with a maximum length of 40 centimeters, a CPU cooler with a maximum height of 16.5 centimeters and a power supply unit with a maximum length of 27 centimeters.
Made for Modern Connectivity
When it comes to connections, the Rebel C60 RGB has two USB 3.0 interfaces on the top of the case, and for mobile devices and modern headsets, there is also a USB-C connection and a TRRS port.
Optimal Graphics Card Support
Like the Rebel C50, the Rebel C60 RGB is supplied with a graphics card holder complete with a rubberized contact surface. Those who prefer to mount the graphics card vertically in the case can use the optionally available installation set, which was already introduced along with the Rebel C50: the Rebel C Series Vertical Graphics Card Kit 4.0.
Sharkoon Technologies, an international supplier of high-performance quality PC components and peripherals, is now widening its popular SKILLER SGK50 keyboard series with the launch of three new models that have a 75 percent layout. Apart from a standard version, the SKILLER SGK50 S3 is also available as a barebone version that is completely without switches and keycaps. These variants are available in either black or white, and there is also a visually striking version available with white PBT keycaps and blue highlights.
Fully Customizable
Following on from the SKILLER SGK50 S4, the SKILLER SGK50 S3 is a further model that widens the range of an already popular keyboard series with hot-swap capability for 3-pin or 5-pin switches. However, in contrast to the S4, this new model possesses a larger layout with dedicated arrow and function keys. There is also an additional Sharkoon key that allows the quick programming of up to two macros and the adjustment of the illumination — all without the need of separate software. For users who wish to get even more out the keyboard and have the ability to modify every aspect of its functionality, the SKILLER SGK50 S3 offers full compatibility with the open-source software QMK and VIA.
Best Possible Choice for Switches
As with the previous model, the SKILLER SGK50 S3 comes with a choice of pre-installed switches, and this time, the switches from the Gateron brand are used. Apart from the quickly responsive red switches or the crisp yellow ones, the tactile brown switches are also an option for the standard versions of the model. Meanwhile, the SKILLER SGK50 S3 PBT version comes with the third and latest variant of the immersive G Pro Yellow. For those who have an even broader range of ideas when it comes to switches, the SKILLER SGK50 S3 Barebone should be the most suitable version to choose. This keyboard comes without switches and keycaps and includes positioning plates for both ISO and ANSI layouts.
Satisfying Typing Sensation
As well as hot-swappable switches, the SKILLER SGK50 S3 should be able to provide the best possible typing feeling thanks to its positioning plate made of polycarbonate, the double-layer silicone damping and the factory-lubed stabilizers. Those who demand the maximum from their keyboard can reach for the SKILLER SGK50 S3 PBT. In accordance with its name, this version is supplied with grease-resistant PBT keycaps that have a legend produced via dye sublimation for extra durability.
Sharkoon Technologies is an international supplier of high-performance, high-quality PC components and peripherals. Sharkoon is again widening its range of keyboards and introducing a new mechanical gaming keyboard, this time with a full three-block layout within a tidy, elemental design. The SKILLER SGK20 presents itself with a rimless look and a practical cable channel in its underside, while the RGB illumination can be fully customized through the downloadable software. Two versions of the keyboard are available with either red or brown switches from Huano.
Trim and Tidy
Unlike the last keyboards that Sharkoon launched onto market, the SKILLER SGK20 has a full 3-block layout with 105 keys. The keyboard has, however, an extra slim design and an almost rimless look and should therefore be able to blend into any kind of setup. The trim appearance is complemented by a cable channel in the underside of the keyboard, which allows an orderly and interference-free positioning of the textile-braided cable.
Two Versions with Red or Brown Switches.
Technically, the SKILLER SGK20 should score points thanks to its polling rate of 1,000 Hertz together with the mechanical switches from Huano. For frequent gamers, the red switches should be particularly suitable due to their linear properties for resistance-free use without clicking noises. Frequent typists and occasional gamers, on the other hand, can choose the version that is equipped with the tactile brown switches, which have a perceptible actuation point. According to the manufacturer, the operating life cycle of both kinds of switch is 20 million keystrokes.
Extensive RGB illumination and Software
The SKILLER SGK20's full range of functions are available via the downloadable gaming software. With this, the keyboard's RGB illumination can be personalized according to color, intensity, or brightness, or by choosing one if the 18 pre-programmed lighting effects. The chosen customization can then be saved in different lighting profiles. The personal settings of all the other options that can be found in the gaming software, including recorded macros, can be bundled into one of up to 20 game profiles. With just a few clicks, a profile can then be selected to suit the game, genre or work application.
Sharkoon Technologies is an international supplier of high-performance, high-quality PC components and peripherals, and in response to numerous customer requests, the manufacturer is now launching a white version of its REV300 Midi-ATX case. With the REV300 White, hardware builds take the proven approach of being installed around a 90-degree rotated mainboard, while the tempered-glass side panel is unconventionally placed on the right side of the PC case. In addition, the REV300 White comes with seven pre-installed PWM RGB fans.
Pre-Installed Maximal Airflow
Like its black counterpart, the white version of the REV300 comes readily equipped with the maximum possible number of fans: Apart from three addressable 140-millimeter RGB LED fans behind the front panel, there are also three equally addressable 120-millimeter RGB LED fans on the rear panel and another one under the top panel. To further maximize airflow, the front panel of the case consists of an air-permeable mesh. If water cooling is preferred instead of air cooling, an up to 360-millimeter radiator can be installed in the back of the case. There is also space for a radiator of up to 420 millimeters in the case's front — provided that the radiator does not exceed a height of 3.2 centimeters, a length of 46.5 centimeters, and a width of 14.1 centimeters.
Unusual but Proven Installation
All PC cases of the Sharkoon REV series are known for their unconventional configuration when it comes to installing the hardware build. The REV300 White is, of course, no exception here: The hardware components are installed around a mainboard that is rotated by 90 degrees with a result that is intended to provide a particularly stylish presentation through the tempered-glass side panel. And to open even more new possibilities in presenting the hardware, the glass side panel itself also breaks with convention and is to be found on the right side of the case, instead, as usual, on the left.
For Modern Components
Like the black version, the REV300 White should be an ideal case for large and modern components: Graphics cards with a length of up to 34.5 centimeters can be easily installed, as can CPU coolers up to 17.7 centimeters and power supply units with a maximum length of 27 centimeters. Near the front panel, on top of the case, a modern USB Type-C port ensures fast data transfer to mobile devices, while for everything else, the usual audio ports and four USB Type-A ports are also available.
Sharkoon Technologies is an international supplier of high-performance, high-quality PC components and peripherals. Sharkoon has now supplemented its hot-swap capable keyboard, the SKILLER SGK50 S4, with a fully customizable model that comes without keycaps and switches. Like the original SKILLER SGK50 S4, this Barebone model will also be available as a version in black or white, and there are versions that are designed for either ANSI or ISO keyboard layouts.
Customizable for Personal Tastes and Needs
As the name suggests, the SKILLER SGK50 S4 Barebone is a keyboard that is stripped down to the essentials, with no switches or keycaps. The keyboard's circuit board is hot-swappable and compatible with both 3-pin and 5-pin switches to make the right choice possible for any user requirement or taste. The user can also swap out the keycaps at any time and freely choose the shape and material from amongst all the keycaps which are available on the market. The suitable tools for replacing the switches and keycaps are already supplied with the keyboard.
Available with ISO and ANSI Compatibility
The manufacturer has also put importance on having a broad range of compatibility when it comes to the choice of possible keyboard layouts. The SKILLER SGK50 S4 Barebone is, therefore, not only configured for the widely used ANSI layouts, but there is also a version available for ISO layouts, enabling the use of layouts that are found in most European and South American countries.
Stylish Appearance
Like the original model, the Barebone model has a size which is 60 percent of a normal three-block keyboard. These compact dimensions not only provide for more freedom of movement on the tabletop, but the keyboard itself should make an attractive appearance in any setup. Here, the keyboard aims to score points with its chic spiral cable, which is a typical feature of the SKILLER SGK50 series, and with its easy-to-program RGB illumination that offers various lighting effects.
Easy Macro Recording
Like the original model of the SKILLER SGK50 S4, the Barebone versions also do without software. Two macros, each with up to 16 actions, can be easily set up on the keyboard using just a few key combinations. The macros can be overwritten whenever necessary.
Sharkoon Technologies is an international supplier of high-performance, high-quality PC components and peripherals. Sharkoon is now widening its range of PC cases with the launch of two ATX midi towers that, thanks to their distinctly minimalistic look, are designed for any kind of setting or use. Both the VS8 and VS9 are available either as an office-ready version without illumination or as a gaming-focused version with a tempered-glass side panel and addressable RGB LED fans. The RGB versions are also available with a white finish.
Minimalist Cases for All Purposes
The front panels of the office-ready VS8 and VS9 standard versions are deliberately styled with a minimalist look so that the cases can easily blend into formal office environments, domestic study rooms, or home offices. To remove the heated air, a 120-millimeter fan is already pre-installed on the rear panel of these windowless cases. Depending on the application and the required performance, three additional 120-millimeter fans can be installed behind the front of the case. If even more cooling capacity is required, there is space for two more 120-millimeter or two 140-millimeter fans under the top panel of the case.
RGB Versions for Gamers
Specially for gamers, both the VS8 and VS9 are available as an RGB version, which is also available with a white finish for more brightly presented setups. Due to the low-key design of the front panels together with a large side panel made of tempered glass, the focus of these models is entirely on the built-in hardware inside the case. For more demanding, performance-hungry applications, two 120-millimeter fans are already pre-installed behind the front panel. On the rear panel, these are supplemented by another 120-millimeter fan, which, in addition, is equipped with addressable RGB LEDs. Thanks to the included RGB controller, this pre-installed RGB LED fan and, if desired, another LED component can both be illuminated either via the mainboard software, or, alternatively, with 14 pre-set lighting effects via an integrated manual control. If required, there is also space for another 120-millimeter fan behind the front panel, as well as two further 120-millimeter or two 140-millimeter fans under the top panel. Alternatively, all versions of the two cases are also designed for the simultaneous operation of two radiators, with a 360-millimeter radiator in the front of the case and a 280-millimeter radiator in the top of the case.
Spaciously Designed for Any Hardware Build
Despite the compact dimensions of 42.3 x 20.5 x 48.5 centimeters, larger hardware components will also fit into the VS8 and VS9 cases. In all versions, the length of the graphics card can be 35 centimeters, while the CPU cooler can have a height of 15.8 centimeters, and the power supply unit can have a length of 21 centimeters. All the installed hardware components are protected by three dust filters on the front, top and bottom of the case. The filters can be easily removed and cleaned, whenever required.
Modular Options for Connections and Data Storage
The VS8 and VS9 also offer same installation possibilities when it comes to data storage: For up to two 3.5-inch hard drives and four 2.5-inch SSDs there is a choice of installation locations, whether behind the mainboard tray, on the power supply tunnel, or on the integrated HDD/SSD cage. As far as connectivity is concerned, the standard, office-ready versions rely on two proven USB 3.0 ports as well as an older USB 2.0 port. In addition, there are, of course, the obligatory audio ports, and all the connections can be easily reached on the top of the case. Instead of a Type-A USB 2.0 port, the RGB versions offer a USB Type-C connection for the fast and easy transfer of mobile data.
Sharkoon Technologies is an international supplier of high-performance, high-quality PC components and peripherals. Sharkoon is now widening its range of PC cases with the launch of two ATX midi towers that, thanks to their distinctly minimalistic look, are designed for any kind of setting or use. Both the VS8 and VS9 are available either as an office-ready version without illumination or as a gaming-focused version with a tempered-glass side panel and addressable RGB LED fans. The RGB versions are also available with a white finish.
Minimalist Cases for All Purposes
The front panels of the office-ready VS8 and VS9 standard versions are deliberately styled with a minimalist look so that the cases can easily blend into formal office environments, domestic study rooms, or home offices. To remove the heated air, a 120-millimeter fan is already pre-installed on the rear panel of these windowless cases. Depending on the application and the required performance, three additional 120-millimeter fans can be installed behind the front of the case. If even more cooling capacity is required, there is space for two more 120-millimeter or two 140-millimeter fans under the top panel of the case.
RGB Versions for Gamers
Specially for gamers, both the VS8 and VS9 are available as an RGB version, which is also available with a white finish for more brightly presented setups. Due to the low-key design of the front panels together with a large side panel made of tempered glass, the focus of these models is entirely on the built-in hardware inside the case. For more demanding, performance-hungry applications, two 120-millimeter fans are already pre-installed behind the front panel. On the rear panel, these are supplemented by another 120-millimeter fan, which, in addition, is equipped with addressable RGB LEDs. Thanks to the included RGB controller, this pre-installed RGB LED fan and, if desired, another LED component can both be illuminated either via the mainboard software, or, alternatively, with 14 pre-set lighting effects via an integrated manual control. If required, there is also space for another 120-millimeter fan behind the front panel, as well as two further 120-millimeter or two 140-millimeter fans under the top panel. Alternatively, all versions of the two cases are also designed for the simultaneous operation of two radiators, with a 360-millimeter radiator in the front of the case and a 280-millimeter radiator in the top of the case.
Spaciously Designed for Any Hardware Build
Despite the compact dimensions of 42.3 x 20.5 x 48.5 centimeters, larger hardware components will also fit into the VS8 and VS9 cases. In all versions, the length of the graphics card can be 35 centimeters, while the CPU cooler can have a height of 15.8 centimeters, and the power supply unit can have a length of 21 centimeters. All the installed hardware components are protected by three dust filters on the front, top and bottom of the case. The filters can be easily removed and cleaned, whenever required.
Modular Options for Connections and Data Storage
The VS8 and VS9 also offer same installation possibilities when it comes to data storage: For up to two 3.5-inch hard drives and four 2.5-inch SSDs there is a choice of installation locations, whether behind the mainboard tray, on the power supply tunnel, or on the integrated HDD/SSD cage. As far as connectivity is concerned, the standard, office-ready versions rely on two proven USB 3.0 ports as well as an older USB 2.0 port. In addition, there are, of course, the obligatory audio ports, and all the connections can be easily reached on the top of the case. Instead of a Type-A USB 2.0 port, the RGB versions offer a USB Type-C connection for the fast and easy transfer of mobile data.

In 2023, the PC-gaming manufacturer Sharkoon celebrates its 20-year anniversary. Since the founding of Sharkoon on 17 April 2003, the fast-paced PC and gaming industry has seen constant change, with countless trends that have come and gone. It was this flow of trends that inspired Sharkoon to always respond flexibly, with a constantly fresh range of products, in order to meet the prevailing needs for the growing scene of gaming and case modding. Thanks to this flair for innovation and its continual responsiveness to its customers, the manufacturer from the German region of Hesse is now present across the whole world. The 20-year success story began with a small glow in the PC cases of enthusiastic modding pioneers: an illuminated PC case cable that was soon to become the first commercial Sharkoon product known as the "Luminous IDE Round Cable".
In the following years, thousands of otherwise dull PC cases were being transformed into personalized, colorfully lit gaming computers thanks to illuminated cables and cold cathode fluorescent lamps, so-called CCFLs. This was a trend that has come back in recent years in the form of RGB illumination, which is now ever present within the Sharkoon product range.
In addition to illuminated case-modding accessories, Sharkoon also continuously developed its range and presented, for example, the "Luminous Keyboard", the first illuminated keyboard in Europe. Soon, new product developments followed in quick succession: Sharkoon presented the "Silvation", its first PC case; then it brought the popular "SilentEagle" fan series onto the market and impressed with innovations such as the PC "Jump Start", a convenient remote control with which the PC could be switched on easily. With the Dolby-certified X-Tatic headset series, Sharkoon was also able to make itself present within the gaming console market, and the company even made it to Hollywood in the movie "Noobz"! Over the years, Sharkoon has always remained true to its customer-oriented credo of combining high quality and super performance with a fair price.
To duly celebrate its 20th anniversary together with the gaming community, the manufacturer will launch several exciting campaigns on its social media channels over the course of the year. To begin with, Sharkoon has announced a new mouse mat that is limited to 2,023 pieces for the anniversary year 2023. The "20 Years Limited Edition Mouse Mat" will have a unique look in which a serial number is already included in the design. The ownership of this mouse mat gives entitlement to enter the company's big anniversary giveaway scheduled for 11th October - with lots of prizes.
Further details on the limited-edition mouse mat and anniversary promotions will be announced on the manufacturer's social media channels over the next few weeks.

According to the manufacturer, the TG7M RGB is especially designed for efficient cooling: In addition to a mesh grille on the front panel, four 120-millimeter PWM RGB fans have been pre-installed in the case: three at the front and one at the rear of the case. Three fans with an edge-to-edge length of 120 millimeters can also be installed under the top panel. The TG7M RGB is the first case of the TG series where a 360-millimeter radiator can be installed either behind the front panel or under the top panel. Depending on the installed hardware, the size of the mainboard and the height of the RAM, there is at least 5 centimeters of space available under the top panel. Behind the front panel there is space for a radiator with a height of up to 6 centimeters.
Tidy Presentation of Hardware
Like the previous models of the series, the TG7M RGB has a side panel made of tempered glass on the left. To ensure a tidy presentation of the built-in components, the screws of the panel are not directly visible from the outside. The front panel is framed on its left and right by a light-grey metal wing which rounds off the sharp edges of the casing. The cable management inside the case with several cable pass-throughs should ensure an unobstructed view of the installed hardware. By means of an RGB control on the mainboard with a pinout of 5V-D-G or 5V-D-coded-G, the illumination can be personalized as desired. Behind the tempered-glass side panel there is also a power supply tunnel with a window for the constant view of the power supply unit.
Spaciously Built
Despite its compact design, the TG7M RGB has plenty of space, even for large hardware components. For example, a graphics card 38 centimeters long can also be installed vertically using an optionally available graphics card kit.

The case also has space for up to four 2.5-inch and two 3.5-inch data storage drives.
Sharkoon Technologies is an international supplier of high-performance quality PC components and peripherals. Now, with the TG4M RGB, Sharkoon presents a version of its popular PC case with a mesh front panel. For an immediately optimized airflow, the ATX case also offers four pre-installed and fully addressable RGB fans with a diameter of 120 millimeters. And, despite its compact design, it should also be able to accommodate demanding hardware components.
Optimized Airflow
Instead of a front panel made of tempered glass, the TG4M RGB is equipped with an air-permeable mesh grille. The characteristic look of the TG series with a see-through front and side panel has been retained, but this time, the aim is to optimize the airflow. This is supported by three pre-installed 120-millimeter fans behind the front panel and another identical fan at the rear panel. All fans can be illuminated according to personal preference via the supplied RGB controller and using a modern mainboard which has the appropriate connection. The integration into existing lighting synchronization systems is also possible.
A Tidy Presentation for Hardware
As with the other cases of the TG series, the TG4M RGB also has a side panel made of tempered glass, through which the built-in hardware can be seen. Together with the illuminated fans, this gives the series its characteristic look, which is intended to especially appeal to gamers. So that no cables interfere with the presentation, these can be removed from view, when necessary, using the cable pass-throughs in the mainboard tray. A detachable dust filter is located behind the front fans for the required protection from dust.
Spacious, Despite the Compact Design
The TG4M RGB has very space-saving external dimensions of 45.5 x 20.0 x 43 centimeters, but it should still be able to accommodate high-performance hardware components. According to the manufacturer, there is room for graphics cards with a length of up to 37.5 centimeters, as well as CPU coolers up to 16 centimeters in height, and power supply units up to 26.5 centimeters in length. In addition, there is space for up to two 3.5-inch HDDs and up to four SSDs. Using the screw slots, these can be mounted onto the mainboard tray and, via the HDD/SSD cage, onto the bottom of the case.

But in particular, the extra-wide seat base of 55 centimeters promises a high level of seating comfort.
Sporty Gaming Design
The SKILLER SGS20 is available as a standard version with a synthetic leather cover or as a version with a fabric cover. The synthetic leather version is designed to offer a classic look that fits in well anywhere and is easy to clean. The fabric version, on the other hand, with its breathable fabric cover should provide an even more comfortable seating experience. Both types of chair have the same design of streamlined color highlights, which are available in either grey, blue, red or orange. These color accents are intended to stylishly complement the predominant black of the chair.
Ergonomic Adjustment Options
In addition to the look, both versions offer the ergonomic adjustment options which are familiar from Sharkoon. The backrest can be adjusted to a wide angle of 90 to 160 degrees, while the armrests can be adjusted according to height and angle, and they can also be moved back or forward. A conventional tilt function including tilt lock is also available, as well as optional cushions to support the neck and spine.
Comfortable Gaming
With a seat base measuring 55 centimeters, the SKILLER SGS20 stands out clearly from other entry-level models from the manufacturer. The gaming chair should therefore offer comfortable sitting also to larger users or to those who appreciate a high degree of freedom of movement. The chair is designed for a user height of up to 185 centimeters and a user weight up to 120 kilograms. The basis of this design is the use of a robust steel frame construction, a steel five-star base as well as a class-4 gas lift piston.

An adjustable headband and movable ear cups are designed to be comfortable to wear even after extensive gaming sessions. The headset is installed with 50-millimeter drivers, which should deliver the accustomed, punchy audio which is required for immersive gaming sessions. The connection via a 240-centimeter long USB cable ensures ample freedom of movement.
Stylish and High-Performance: B2
As the successor to the B1 headset, the B2 also relies on a stylish design all in black. Due to the detachable microphone, the B2 can also be used as headphones without any hassle. And thanks to a cable with an ideal length of 110 centimeters and TRRS plug, it can even be conveniently used on mobile devices. Further connection options with USB and audio plugs are offered by modular cable segments with a total length of 250 centimeters. According to the manufacturer, the soft fabric surface of the breathable ear pads is especially designed for long periods of comfortable wearing. In addition, the movable ear cups and the headband, which is bound in synthetic leather, adapt to the shape of the head. 50-millimeter drivers are also used for the B2 to provide the appropriate audio. If the B2 is operated via USB, the inline controller will provide a hardware equalizer with three modes as well as the usual adjustments such as microphone mute and volume control.
Sharkoon Audio Center
The audio for both the RUSH ER40 and the B2 can be customized using the downloadable Sharkoon Audio Center. In addition to general settings for the headset audio or for the microphone, profiles can be created, and various effects can be selected and added. Particular attention can be paid to the virtual 7.1 surround sound and to the 10-band equalizer, with which users can make all the settings for their personal audio preferences.
Sharkoon Technologies, an international supplier of high-performance quality PC components and peripherals, now presents the SKILLER SGK50 S4 - Sharkoon's first mechanical 60 percent keyboard. Its hot-swap function allows switches to be installed and removed easily, and all switches with 3 and 5 pins are supported. The Kailh switches that are typical of Sharkoon are already pre-installed on the keyboard: The linear red switches, the tactile brown switches or the clicky blue switches. But if the factory-lubricated Gateron switches are preferred, these can be purchased separately with the Sharkoon Switch Set. The keyboard has two pairs of feet and can therefore be positioned at up to three different angles. In addition, two macros with up to 16 macro actions can be recorded or overwritten without the use of any separate software.
Space-Saving Format
The compact layout of 60 percent saves a considerable amount of space on the desk, allowing the mouse to be moved more freely, while the keyboard can be positioned more conveniently while gaming. Thanks to the multiple assignment of the keys, all the functions of a TKL keyboard are provided. This means that the SKILLER SGK50 S4 can still demonstrate full functionality with its handy and compact size.
The Required Switches
A total of three types of switches from the Kailh brand are available: The linear red switch with an imperceptible actuation point, which, thanks to its low operating force, is primarily aimed at gamers; the tactile brown switch with an actuation point which is not audible but which can be felt and is therefore suitable for both gaming and for office work; and the clicky blue switch, which is especially suitable for prolific writers who prefer the sensation of a typewriter. All switches have a travel path to the actuation point of 1.9 millimeters and an actuation force of 50 grams, as well as having an operating life cycle of 70 million keystrokes.
Complete Creative Freedom
Thanks to the hot-swap function, switches can be installed and removed in a few simple steps. A keycap puller tool and a switch puller tool are supplied with the keyboard for this purpose. All switches with 3 and 5 pins can be installed.
Completely without Software.
With just a few key clicks, two macros with up to 16 macro actions can be recorded and overwritten without the use of software. The illumination of the SKILLER SGK50 S4 can also be set up just as easily: Using key combinations, lighting effects can be selected, and their brightness can be adjusted.
Additional Switch Types Available
In addition to the three switches available for this keyboard, Sharkoon also offers 8 different switch sets, each with 35 switches from the Kailh and Gateron brands. All switches have either linear or tactile properties, while the Gateron switches are also factory lubricated. According to the manufacturer, this should enable the switches to be operated more smoothly and deepen their sound.

Extraordinarily large
Both the SKILLER SGP30 Big Hex and the 1337 V2 Big, with their length of 120 centimeters and a width of 60 centimeters, are the largest mouse mats from Sharkoon to date. They can therefore cover a large part of the tabletop and offer ample room for mouse movements.
Particularly Robust
According to the manufacturer, the rubber underside always offers a firm hold, even under demanding conditions. Also, thanks to its sublimation printing, the hexagon motif of the SKILLER SGP30 Big Hex should be able to withstand a high degree of intensive use - just as much as the minimalist black surface of the 1337 V2 Big.
No Fraying
The robust stitching along the edges should support a long service life without fraying at the edges, and, according to the manufacturer, both the SKILLER SGP30 Big Hex and the 1337 V2 Big will hardly show any signs of wear even over a long period of demanding use.
Suitable for Cleaning
The enormous gliding ability of the two mats should be suitable for quick mouse movements and rapid reactions. Moreover, as water simply rolls off the mats, their water-repellent properties make them suitable for cleaning with a soft, slightly damp cloth.

Kailh BOX Switches
Thanks to the high-quality mechanical switches from Kailh, the keyboard is particularly beneficial for professional gamers. The red switches are worthwhile for gamers thanks to their linear switch characteristics and the low operating force required. The brown switches are suitable for both work and gaming due to their tactile characteristic with an inaudible feedback. Frequent writers can enjoy the white switches, which should give them the sensation of a typewriter when using the keyboard.
Creative Freedom via the Software
The software for the keyboard can be downloaded from the Sharkoon website. This can be used to produce the various illumination effects and color combinations for the keyboard keys as well as for the Edge Light, the lighting located along the rear edge of the SGK60. There are fifteen effects available for the keys and ten available for the Edge Light. The colors of the illumination effects can be adjusted as desired. The software also has a macro manager to record macros with up to 390 macro actions in total. The settings of the individual actions allow themselves to be modified as required.
Made for Durability
The SGK60 is especially characterized by its stable, long-lasting Kailh-BOX switches: They all have an operating life cycle of at least 80 million keystrokes, while the design form protects the switch from dust and dirt. In addition, 14 especially durable PBT keycaps are included. Thanks to double-injection technology, these should offer long-lasting use without showing signs of wear.
Sharkoon Technologies is an international supplier of high-performance quality PC components and peripherals. With the SKILLER SFM11, Sharkoon now presents a hard-wearing floor-protection mat in four different motif designs. With a diameter of 120 centimeters, it offers a wide range of movement, which is particularly advantageous in hectic game situations. The underside is made of nonslip silicone, which means that the mat should always hold its ground, even during the most forceful movements from above. The thickness of five millimeters protects any surface from scratches caused by chair casters and effectively muffles noises. In addition, the polyester surface allows the mat to be easily cleaned.
Choice of Four Motif Designs
With the SFM11, there is a choice between four different motifs. The “Gaming Area” design imitates the surfing style of the 1960s in light pastel colors. The “Hex” design represents a hyper-realistic 3D depth effect. The “Retro” design adorns a city skyline with the style of the 1980s. And for the “Cubes” design, the name “Sharkoon” forms a cube in three rich colors.
Noise Dampening, Nonslip and Hard-Wearing
The five-millimeter material thickness enables effective dampening of noise from moving chairs. The silicone underside keeps the mat firmly in place, and, thanks to the thick, multiple stitching as well as the heat transfer printing, this floor protection mat has been made to be long-lasting.

The upper surface of the keyboard is made of metal, which should also contribute to the resilience and service life of the SKILLER SGK3.
Sharkoon Technologies is an international supplier of high-performance, quality PC components and peripherals. With the CA700 from the ELITE SHARK series, Sharkoon now presents its first open-frame PC case. Apart from the futuristic design, it should also impress with its cleverly designed interior. This provides room for up to eight fans and allows the simultaneous operation of two 360-millimeter radiators. In addition, the case offers extensive modification options: It can, for example, be tilted and locked in up to four positions via its base.
High-Quality Open-Frame Design
Five pre-installed, fully addressable PWM fans, with a diameter of 120 millimeters, and a case design which is open on all sides should all ensure the ideal cooling, even with power-hungry hardware. However, if anyone wants the case to be both water-cooled and even more eye-catching, then the spacious interior offers a particularly creative solution: For future-proof heat dissipation, a 360-millimeter radiator can be installed in the top of the case, and, at the same time, another 360-millimeter radiator can be operated next to the mainboard tray.
Extravagant - Inside and Outside
So that the presentation of the built-in hardware can be just as extravagant as the PC case itself, the CA700 comes with two mounting frames to vertically install a graphics card: one mounting frame for cards that require two slots and another for cards that require three slots. The manufacturer has also included the necessary riser cable in the case's package contents. The large side panel made of tempered glass allows the graphics card as well as the built-in fans or other illuminated elements to come into their own.
Practical and Convenient Features
In addition to its most conspicuous highlights, the ELITE SHARK CA700 offers many other smaller features which provide ease and convenience for creative hardware installation. Thus, for proper cable management, the case has several cable pass-throughs, and hook-and-loop cable ties are also supplied. And for additional flexibility, the water-cooling pump or the reservoir can be attached in one of two positions. For safe and easy handling, the tempered glass side panel is supported with a mounting bracket, and the front and top of the case have practical panels that can be easily opened and locked into position when necessary. According to personal taste, the body of the CA700 can be tilted and locked at four different angles via its base.
Lots of Space for Large Components
With dimensions of 63.2 x 25.0 x 67.0 centimeters, the ELITE SHARK CA700 is also the largest Sharkoon PC case to date and should thus offer a correspondingly large amount of space for the biggest components. For example, the maximum length of the graphics card is 47.5 centimeters, the maximum length of the power supply is 19.5 centimeters and the maximum height of the CPU cooler is 16.5 centimeters. In addition, there is room for six 2.5-inch SSDs and two 3.5-inch HDDs.
Sharkoon Technologies is an international supplier of high-performance quality PC components and peripherals.

The user can also lean back with ease on the SGS2 Jr.: The backrest can be reclined to 135 degrees, and a relaxing break can be taken for a few moments after a studying hard for school. A spring supported tilt mechanism provides additional comfort.
Breathable Upholstery
As far as comfort is concerned, the SGS2 Jr. not only offers its mechanical features, but it also has a breathable textile covering. The durability of the covering contributes to the longevity of the chair, and it should easily meet the demands of everyday use. Neck and lumbar cushions have been included with the chair to avoid the signs of a stiff neck or back pain - even after long periods of sitting. They can be attached or removed within seconds, and the cushion covers are easy to clean.
Secure Seating
The five-star base is made of a solid synthetic material and ensures a permanent, secure stand at all times, even during demanding use. The chair offers itself as a stable construction and is therefore suitable for children and young people up to a weight of 65 kilograms.
Sharkoon Technologies is an international supplier of high-performance, quality PC components and peripherals. With the REV300, Sharkoon now presents a PC case of a different kind. Besides seven pre-installed PWM RGB fans for optimal cooling, the case also comes with addressable fan LEDs for customized lighting. In addition, since the tempered glass side panel is placed on the right-hand side of the case, the REV300 offers the possibility for a better presentation of the illuminated hardware components.
Optimal Results for Cooling
With seven pre-installed, addressable PWM fans, the REV300 is equipped with maximum cooling capacity as standard: There are three 140-millimeter fans behind the front panel and three 120-millimeter models at the rear of the case, as well as one more with 120 millimeters under the top panel. These RGB fans are supported by the front panel's mesh grille which facilitates the airflow. Water cooling can also be built into the REV300: A radiator of up to 360 millimeters can be installed at the rear, and there is even space for a radiator of up to 420 millimeters at the front, provided that it does not exceed 3.2 centimeters in height. Furthermore, it should not be longer than 46.5 centimeters and no wider than 14.1 centimeters.
Especially Innovative
The PC cases of the REV series are known for the unconventional positioning of components such as the graphics card, which can thus be better presented. The REV300 is no exception: Thanks to the mainboard which can be installed at a 90-degree rotation, all the components can be advantageously displayed through the glass panel on the right-hand side of the case. The tempered glass panel itself is attached with a magnetic closure to the front the case and with hinges to the back, making it quick and easy to open and close. In addition to the novel installation of components, the user is also offered a USB-C port in addition to the four usual USB ports on the I/O panel.
A True Colossus
The design and the size of the case should result in an impressive presentation of the case itself as well as the components which are installed inside. Slightly protruding corners form a frame for the mesh-covered front panel, and the effect is a dynamic, elegant presentation of the three RGB fans. Its simplicity also emphasizes the impressive illumination of the fans, while the installed RGB components are showcased from behind the glass panel.
Immense Amount for Room for Hardware
With its enormous dimensions, the REV300 is particularly suitable for those who value large amounts of space for high-quality components. Graphics cards up to 34.5 centimeters in length can be installed in the case without any problems, as can CPU coolers up to 17.7 centimeters.
Possibilities without Limits
Power supplies with a maximum length of 27 centimeters can also be easily installed inside the case. In addition, the Angled Graphics Card Kit should also not go unmentioned. This is a mounting which has been specially designed for the REV300 and allows graphics cards to be showcased to their full advantage.
Sharkoon Technologies is an international supplier of high-performance quality PC components and peripherals. With the TG6M RGB, Sharkoon now presents a variation of its popular TG6 RGB ATX case. With this latest addition to the “TG” PC case series, particular importance has been given to a strong airflow, and the tempered glass of the front panel has been thus replaced by an air-permeable mesh grille. And this time, the fans have circularly arranged LEDs, bringing the case closer to the traditional look of previous models.
Strong Airflow
Thanks to the front panel with the mesh grille, the TG6M RGB aims to ensure a continuously optimal temperature, even when the system is in full operation. Behind the front panel, three 120-millimeter addressable RGB LED fans with rubberized contact points are pre-installed, with no visible screws and in a modular framework. A fourth fan of the same type ensures that the heated air is removed through the back of the case. As an option, three additional 120-millimeter or two 140-millimeter fans can be installed in the top of the case, which is protected by a dust filter. Additional dust filters in the front and in the underside of the case should provide additional protection against dust and dirt.
Optional Water Cooling
Like the previous TG6 model, the TG6M RGB has a completely detachable fan tray. If desired, this facilitates the installation of a radiator behind the front panel. A radiator with a length of up to 360 millimeters and an installation height of 5.2 centimeters will find room here.
Designed for Eye-Catching Light Effects
The pre-installed 120-millimeter fans should not only ensure a strong airflow, but also provide a vivid illumination of the built-in hardware. The tempered glass side panel, which is unobtrusively attached to the rear of the case with thumbscrews, draws the attention to the user's personally configured hardware. To set the stage for this, there is a pre-installed RGB controller, provided, as usual, by Sharkoon in its PC cases. The controller allows the connection of up to eight LED elements. Colors and effects can then be freely customized using the software of compatible mainboards which have a 5V-D-Coded-G or 5V-D-G pinout. A manual control option is available for mainboards without a connection for addressable LEDs. The manual control can be used to switch through twenty lighting effects using the reset button. It is also possible to switch off the entire lighting.
Tidy Space for Components.
The TG6M RGB offers just as much space for high-performance components as its predecessor: There is enough room for graphics cards with a length of up to 40 cm and CPU coolers with a height of up to 16.7 cm. Power supplies with a maximum length of up to 20.5 cm can also be accommodated. Up to three 3.5-inch or four 2.5-inch data storage drives can be installed in the case: in a moveable HDD/SSD cage, or behind the mainboard tray or on the power supply tunnel. There are also several cable pass-throughs in the mainboard tray to keep the cabling tidy.

For the design of the TG5 RGB Silent PCGH Edition, corresponding changes were made to the case in order to be able to reduce the overall volume of the system during operation. For this purpose, insulating mats have been integrated in the top and side panel, which, in combination with the completely closed covering of the case, contribute to a reduction of noise. In addition, special fans are installed in the case which maintain a quiet and smooth operation at 800 revolutions per minute without sacrifices being made in cooling performance.
Colorful Air System
According to the manufacturer, the air-cooling system built into the TG5 RGB Silent PCGH Edition generates an even airflow in addition to setting colorful accents. Three 120 mm fans with addressable RGB LEDs attached behind the front panel illuminate almost the entire front of the case, while a 120 mm RGB LED fan attached at the rear illuminates the inside of the case. The LEDs can be specifically controlled and illuminated as desired using the software of compatible mainboards which have a pin assignment of 5V-D-coded-G or 5V-D-G.
Spacious Interior
According to the manufacturer, the TG5 RGB Silent PCGH Edition offers enough space to also accommodate high-performance hardware. Graphics cards up to 40 centimeters in length can be built into the case as well as power supplies with a maximum length of up to 20.5 centimeters or CPU coolers with a height of up to 16.7 centimeters. Data storage drives of different sizes can also be accommodated. There is space for up to three hard drives with a size of 3.5 inches or up to four SSDs inside the housing.
Chic Showcasing
The tempered glass of the front panel provides a clear view of the three illuminated RGB LED fans which are installed at the front of the case. The tempered glass side panel, on the other hand, provides a clear view of the interior of the case and the hardware components which are installed here. The side panel is rested in the frame of the casing and screwed on at the back of the case so that no visible screws affect the looks.
Tidy Inside
The power supply or storage drives can be hidden in the power supply tunnel or behind the mainboard tray in the right-hand side of the case. In addition, the integrated cable pass-throughs ensure that the cabling disappears from the field of vision, resulting in a look of tidiness inside the case.

Pohlheim, 17 September 2020 – Sharkoon Technologies is an international supplier of PC components and peripherals, offering performance at a reasonable price. With the CA300T, Sharkoon now presents another PC case in the premium ELITE SHARK series. Like the other cases in the series, this large and sturdy ATX tower is designed for showcasing quality high-end hardware. This is made possible with a casing made of metal, two side panels made of tempered glass, and well-thought-out installation options.
Solid Case with Elegant Looks
The use of high-quality materials provides the CA300T with the overall impression of an elegant and solid case. The side panels are made of tempered glass. The top of the case is made of solid metal while the front panel has a frame made of polished aluminum. The front panel has a somewhat futuristic design with its geometrically cut pattern, which is illuminated from behind by three RGB LED fans. The LEDs of all the fans can be controlled as desired via the software of compatible mainboards which have a pinout of 5V-D-coded-G or 5V-D-G.
I/O Panel with RGB Illumination on the Side of Case
A special detail that not only sets the CA300T apart from other Sharkoon cases but also from most other cases on the market is the offset I/O panel with RGB lighting. Instead of being placed above the front panel, the I/O panel has been positioned on the side of the case. This means that the controls and connections are easy to reach, especially when the tower is positioned on the tabletop. In addition to the common connections for audio and USB, the CA300T also has a USB-C port.
Constant Airflow for Optimal Cooling
For a continuous airflow, three RGB LED fans in the front and one RGB LED fan at the rear are pre-installed inside the CA300T. The front panel is provided with a mesh grille, which allows sufficient air to flow into the casing. Thanks to the opened top panel with its perforated cover, the CA300T offers an additional location for fans or radiators. 420 mm radiators can be installed at the front, while radiators up to 360 mm can be installed under the top panel. The three 120 mm RGB LED fans behind the front panel can also be replaced by larger ones with a diameter of 140 mm.
High-End Hardware in the Spotlight
So that the installed components can be presented at their best, the CA300T is equipped with two side panels made of tempered glass. These are free of visible screws on their surface and can be easily placed into the frame of the casing in a few simple steps. On the left side, the glass is fully transparent, giving a complete view of the interior of the case and the installed hardware. The right side panel is tinted black at the lower end to conceal the power supply tunnel behind it. SSDs with RGB elements or imposing HDDs will still come into their own. Within the case there is also a hinged compartment in which the cables can be stowed and thus hidden.
Suitable for Large Components
The interior of the CA300T is generously dimensioned and provided with a well-thought-out layout for complex systems and large pieces of hardware. Graphics cards with a length of up to 42.5 cm can be accommodated as well as power supplies with a length of 24 cm or CPU coolers with a height of 16.5 cm. Furthermore, up to seven 2.5" or four 3.5" storage drives can find room within the large case.
Pohlheim, 8 September 2020 - Sharkoon Technologies is an international supplier of PC components and peripherals, offering performance at a reasonable price. Sharkoon is now introducing the latest case to the REV series: the REV100 ATX midi tower. Like its predecessors, it features the same innovative case structure which has made the series so popular. The mainboard mount is rotated by 90 degrees with the tempered glass side panel located on the right-hand side. Because of its more compact size, the REV100 is ideal for smaller desks.
Minimalist Design
The front panel of the REV100 has a geometric, angular design with a surface which resembles brushed metal. Highlighting the minimalist front panel design are its mesh grid and the RGB LED strip. In addition, the back of the case is illuminated with a pre-installed, addressable RGB LED fan. Both RGB LED components can be correspondingly adjusted using the pre-installed controller.
A Case Configuration with a Difference
Just like its predecessors, the REV100 offers the unique and innovative case design for which the REV series is known. Because the mainboard is mounted rotated by 90 degrees, so are all the other components inside the case. These are thus installed vertically. There is also a compartment under the top panel with plenty of space to neatly stow cables.
Away from the Usual
As a difference to the usual, the inside of the case is not viewed from the left, but from the right. Therefore, the models of the REV series are particularly suitable for being placed on the left side of the desk. Below the tempered glass, there is a black covering so that the view inside is not disturbed by unsightly cables.
A Case Optimized for Airflow
Even though the REV100 is the smallest case of the series, it offers sufficient airflow with an RGB LED fan in the back of the case and another pre-installed 120-millimeter fan at the front. Here, the optimally sized mesh panel contributes to the airflow. In addition, the detachable top cover is perforated, and is thus air permeable. To prevent unwanted dust and dirt, there are removable dust filters behind the front panel and in the bottom panel.
Space-Saving ATX Tower
With dimensions of 45.2 x 21.5 x 44.4 centimeters, the REV100 is compact and fits easily into any setup. Whether on or next to the desk, the REV100 cuts a fine figure everywhere. So that there is enough space for all components despite the small size, the case does without a power supply tunnel.
Pohlheim, 15. July 2020 - Sharkoon Technologies is an international supplier of PC components and peripherals, offering performance at a reasonable price. Sharkoon is expanding further into the field of ultra-light gaming mice and introduces the entry-level Light² 100. With its characteristic lightweight, an ultra-flexible cable and mouse feet made of 100 percent PTFE, this is another model which puts emphasis on smooth and comfortable use. In addition, visual highlights are provided by the RGB illumination, which can be configured via the extensive gaming software.
Optimized, Fatigue-Free Use
With the Light² 100, Sharkoon has put special focus on optimized use and the greatest possible comfort. In addition to a closed upper shell, the gaming mouse has a classic, gradually sloping form designed for right-handed people and which is suitable for either small or large hands as well as all types of grips. Even when it has no upper shell with a honeycomb structure, the Light² 100 only weighs 78 grams. This supports fluid movements and quick flicks from the wrist, while, at the same time, reducing signs of cramping and fatigue of the hand. The mouse feet are made of especially low-friction polytetrafluoroethylene and the textile braided cable provides more flexibility than conventional mouse cables. Thus, the gaming mouse is entirely designed for being moved with the fewest possible barriers.
RGB Illumination with Numerous Effects
Although its handling can stay unobtrusively in the background, the Light² 100 comes visually to the fore thanks to its RGB illumination. This is to be found in the mouse wheel, in the “Light” logo and underneath on the rear of the mouse with its luminous strip. The lighting not only provides visual highlights, but also serves as an indicator when changing the preset DPI levels. For that personal touch, the illumination can be customized with numerous colors and effects using the downloadable gaming software.
Gaming Software for Personal Settings
In addition to the illumination, various other aspects of the Light² 100 can be adjusted and set via the gaming software. Apart from essential functions such as setting the mouse speed and sensitivity, all the buttons can also be individually reassigned, and the DPI levels can be adjusted. The settings are saved, as required, in up to five separate profiles. An extensive macro recording is, of course, also possible.
Pohlheim, 24 June 2020 – Sharkoon Technologies is an international supplier of PC components and peripherals, offering performance at a reasonable price. With the REV 220 ATX midi tower, Sharkoon now presents another PC case in the REV series. Like the REV200, this case also possesses a clever and revolutionary case configuration: in comparison to conventional PC cases, Sharkoon has designed for a mainboard which is turned 90 degrees, while the rest of the hardware is thus installed vertically. The PC case is supplied with five pre-installed 120-millimeter fans for the necessary airflow. A cable compartment at the top and a multi-functional tunnel at the bottom also ensure a neat and tidy appearance inside the case.
Chic Front Panel with Carbon Fiber Look
he front of the REV220 has an aluminium plate with a diamond cut. This impressively sets the stage with an RGB background illumination. The plate is placed on a front panel which has a carbon fiber look, providing a distinctly qualitative design to the casing.
A Case Configuration with a Difference
The REV case series distinguishes itself with a revolutionary case configuration, whereby the mainboard is turned 90 degrees when mounted, and the other hardware components are thus installed vertically. The REV220 also has this rather untypical structure and therefore offers all the positive advantages of the predecessor REV200, while the user can experience an entirely different feeling either when installing hardware or when modding. In addition, the cable compartment under the top panel and the power supply tunnel on the bottom panel both ensure tidiness inside the case.
A Fresh Wind from Five Pre-Installed Fans
There are ventilation slots on the sides of the front panel, through which three of the pre-installed 120-millimeter fans ensure a constant airflow. This is supported by two further 120-millimeter fans in the back of the case, which, with their addressable RGB lighting, contribute to an ideal illumination of the hardware inside. In order to further optimize cooling performance, it is also possible to install two 140-millimeter fans in place of the three 120-millimeter models. The front of the case also allows for the installation of a radiator with up to 360 millimeters. In the back of the case, the two pre-installed fans can be replaced by two 140 millimeter versions or a radiator with up to 240 millimeters. The magnetic cover on the top of the case is perforated and thus also supports the air exchange.
The View Inside
The side panel, made of tempered glass, not only completes the timeless and elegant design of the REV220, but it also offers an unobstructed view of the installed hardware. For this purpose, the glass is securely attached via screws on the back of the case. In combination with the RGB lighting of the two addressable fans and the RGB highlight of the front panel, the PC case becomes a real eye-catcher on the top of any desk. And thanks to its reversed design, the case can also be easily placed on the left side of the desk. The fans in the back of the case are also compatible with the RGB synchronization technologies Asus Aura Sync, MSI Mystic Light Sync, Gigabyte Fusion and ASRock Polychrome SYNC. For mainboards without a suitable RGB connection possessing the pinout 5V-D-G or 5V-D-coded-G, the lighting can be controlled via a switch on the top of the case. For an even more extensive illumination, additional, optional LED components can be connected to the pre-installed RGB controller.
Plenty of Room for Components
The REV220 does not lack space for components: Graphics cards with a length of up to 32.3 centimeters, power supplies with a maximum length of 20 centimeters and CPU coolers with a height of up to 16.5 centimeters will fit into the casing. In addition, up to two 3.5-inch hard drives and two SSDs can be installed in the removable cage within the power supply tunnel. Behind the mainboard tray, there are locations for two more SSDs.
Pohlheim, 17 June 2020 – Sharkoon Technologies is an international supplier of top-performing, high-quality PC components and peripherals. Sharkoon now presents its most comprehensive redesign in the 17-year history of the company. As with the original version, the new, modernized logo maintains the effect of being readily recognized due to the shark's fin at its prefix. At the same time, with its rounder emblem design and a straight-lined text, the new logo stands for the continuing development of the company, going hand in hand with the diverse requirements of the PC community.
Sharkoon Technologies was founded in 2003 in the midst of the emerging case modding scene and had the aim of providing creative enthusiasts with new possibilities for fulfilling their hobby. A short time later, the company's first own PC components and peripheral devices were added. These came with illumination, which was still unique at the time, while also focusing on both innovation and cost efficiency. Since then, Sharkoon has developed further still, along with the rapid changes of the gaming industry as well as with customer expectations. Sharkoon, in 2020, no longer stands just for cost-effective gaming equipment and practical PC accessories. In the course of international expansion strategies in new markets as well as changing demands through e-sports cooperations - for example, with Alternate aTTaX or the Eintracht Frankfurt E-Sport Academy - expectations have not only changed toward products, but also in regard to the recognizability of the brand within the global environment.
As with the original version, which was conceived in 2003, the new company logo consists of a stylized shark fin as well as a company name. With its characteristic, triangular form as well as the chosen position and size, the fin provides a high degree of recognizability and stands for stability and performance. The choice of a clearer typeface reflects the affiliation of the brand to the gaming industry, while at the same time ensuring optimal legibility on different sizes of surfaces. The emblem, which is separated from the company lettering, results in a more homogeneous and rounded appearance. This harmonizes optimally with modern product design and can also be utilized, when required, without the company name which comes after it. The shark fin thus allows itself to be used more diversely and without the company name, while avoiding any loss in its recognizability.
The new logo is now to be seen on all newly appearing Sharkoon products.
Pohlheim, 22 April 2020 – Sharkoon Technologies is an international supplier of PC components and peripherals, offering performance at a reasonable price. With the TG5 Pro RGB, Sharkoon now presents the reworked version of its RGB illuminated bestseller. Like the original version, the new ATX midi tower presents itself in with an elegant glass-look and with plenty of space inside for the high-performance hardware components. In contrast to the original TG5 RGB, the fans have been replaced with the new addressable models, providing a more extensive illumination.
Designed for Viewing and with a More Extensive Illumination
To optimally present the installed hardware, both the side and front panels of the TG5 Pro RGB are made of tempered glass. So nothing disturbs the view into the inside of the case, the power supply, the cabling and the hard drives can all be concealed in the power supply tunnel or behind the mainboard tray. Four pre-installed 120 mm fans with transparent fan trays and semi-transparent blades all provide an all-encompassing illumination for the hardware. Via the pre-installed controller in combination with the software of compatible mainboards, up to eight connected LED components can be set and controlled. The mainboard must have an RGB connection with the pinout 5V-D-coded-G or 5V-D-G. Even without the appropriate connection, up to twenty lighting effects can be selected using a dedicated button above the front panel.
Maximal Airflow with Locations for up to Seven Fans
Apart from the atmospheric illumination, the four pre-installed 120 mm fans also provide a strong throughput of air for effectively cooling the installed hardware. Three fans are pre-installed behind the front panel, and another fan is already mounted on the rear panel. If required, three more 120 mm or two 140 mm fans can be installed under the top panel. For enthusiasts of water-cooling systems, the front panel of the TG5 Pro RGB offers up to 5.2 cm space for a radiator. Thanks to extra-long slots, the HDD/SSD Cage, which is inside the power supply tunnel, can be variably positioned to create additional space.
Spacious Design Inside

Ergonomic Wrist Rest: ELITE SHARK WR200
The keyboard wrist rest from the ELITE SHARK series raises the arms and thus provides for decreased muscle tension when working and gaming. The wrist rest is covered with easy-to-clean synthetic leather while the inside is made of comfortable memory foam. This adapts optimally to the user after a short time, thus ensuring a comfortable posture. In addition, a non-slip underside provides the necessary hold, even during hectic game situations. The wrist rest measures 478 x 100 x 24 millimeters and therefore suits any standard keyboard which has a standard layout with number pad.
Pohlheim, 12 December 2019 - Sharkoon Technologies is an international supplier of PC components and peripherals, offering performance at a reasonable price. Sharkoon now introduces two new midi ATX towers: the RGB LIT 100 and RGB LIT 200. These are two strikingly impressive PC cases, which features a tempered glass front and side panel, an addressable RGB fan in the back plus an LED strip at the bottom of the glass side panel. The front of the RGB LIT 100 catches the eye with its circuit-board pattern and the RGB LIT 200 with its pattern of jagged waves. In addition, both cases provide enough space for fans, powerful hardware and up to six SSDs.
Eye-Catching Reflective Front Panel
Both RGB LIT cases benefit from an impressive RGB lighting in the front, which can be flexibly programmed and synchronized with other compatible lighting elements. The front panel itself is made of tempered glass. With the LIT 100, this has a reflective circuit board pattern, while the LIT 200 has a reflective design of jagged waves. Inside the front, there are LED strips that emit an individualized lighting over the entire pattern.
Clever Airflow for Cool Hardware
Behind the conspicuous front panel of each RGB LIT case there is a 120 millimeter fan. This works together with an additional RGB illuminated fan at the back of the case to ensure a constant airflow. Through vents in the front, the necessary fresh air is drawn inward and then transported through to the back of the case. To further emphasize the RGB lighting at the front, the rear fan has been equipped with addressable LEDs. In addition, up to four additional fans can be installed: two in the front and two in the top of the case. However, the installation of water cooling is also no problem for the RGB LIT cases. In the front, a 6.4 centimeter thick radiator including fans will find room, and in the top of the case, 5.5 centimeters space is available.
Stylish and Practical
The RGB LIT cases not only offer an elegant and impressive appearance, but the two models can also convince from the inside. Useful features such as a power supply tunnel, several cable pass-throughs and dust filters behind each air intake all ensure a neat and tidy interior. In addition, enough space is provided to accommodate graphics cards with a length of up to 35 centimeters. There is also enough space available for CPU coolers with a height of up to 15.7 centimeters and a power supply with a maximum length of 21.5 centimeters.
Hardware on Stage
Inside, the RGB lighting caters for a spectacular illumination of the components. This is mainly due to the addressable LED strip at the bottom of the glass side panel, which provides a variety of effects and an illumination across the inside of the housing. Thanks to the tempered glass side panel, the user has an unrestricted view of the inside of the case. The trick: The side panel is attached on the back of the case via barely noticeable thumbscrews.
Sufficient Room for Data Storage
Both cases can accommodate up to six SSDs, which can be mounted behind the mainboard tray or on the power supply tunnel. In addition, there is an HDD/SSD cage within the tunnel, which can either accommodate two more SSDs or two 3.5 inch hard drives.
Pohlheim, 9 December 2019 - Sharkoon Technologies is an international supplier of PC components and peripherals, offering performance at a reasonable price. Sharkoon now introduces the Mobile DAC and the Mobile DAC PD. These are two audio converters that are compatible with the most popular Android-based mobile devices. Both devices deliver a high-resolution audio amplification of sound output for headsets and headphones which have a TRRS connection, and, in addition, they provide quality voice transmission thanks to an integrated microphone input. Therefore, podcasters and streamers will also benefit from the Mobile DACs.
USB Type-C and Compact Designs
The Mobile DAC and the Mobile DAC PD are each equipped with an up-to-date USB Type-C plug for connecting to compatible Android smartphones and tablets. Output devices which use TRRS plugs can then be operated via the DAC device, while the short cable of the Mobile DAC always ensures an uncomplicated handling. Thanks to their compact design, each of these audio converters can fit into any pocket, providing the opportunity to enhance audio experience and microphone transmission anywhere and everywhere.
Mobile DAC PD: Charge as You Go
Unlike the Mobile DAC, the Mobile DAC PD not only has a TRRS port and a USB Type-C plug, but it also has a USB Type-C port. This offers the function "Power Delivery" and can thus charge the connected device during use with a power supply of up to 60 watts.
Japan Audio Society Confirms High-Quality Audio Experience.
The Japan Audio Society (JAS) has confirmed the high-resolution audio experience of the Mobile DAC and Mobile DAC PD. Both devices provide a sampling frequency of 96 kilohertz at 24 bits and an outstanding signal-to-noise ratio of 100 decibels.
Sound Experience at the Touch of a Button
Both DACs are not only compatible with common headphone remote controls, but each also has a switchable hardware equalizer. Thanks to the presets, the linearly tuned sound can be further individualized. Classic settings with either accentuated bass or accentuated highs can be chosen.
Pohlheim, 14 November 2019 - Sharkoon Technologies is an international supplier of PC components and peripherals, offering performance at a reasonable price. Now, with the REV200, Sharkoon introduces a real revolution in midi ATX towers. Compared to conventional models, the well thought out construction of the case allows the mainboard to be rotated 90 degrees and the remaining hardware to be installed vertically. This provides an easy and a particularly striking presentation of the components. In addition, the five pre-installed 120-millimeter RGB fans provide the necessary airflow as well as the appropriate illumination to set the scene for the hardware. The cable compartment under the top panel and the multi-functional tunnel on the underside both ensure an especially tidy appearance.
REVolutionary Case Configuration
Thanks to the innovative construction, the PC can now be placed on the left side of the desk without foregoing the view into the inside of the case. To make this possible, Sharkoon has positioned the tempered glass side panel onto the right-hand side of the case. If the desk thus has its left side against the wall, the user still has a view into the case interior. And another positive effect of this configuration is that gamers who have their PCs on top of their desk will have more space to move around the mouse. Moreover, in combination with the glass element and triangular, offset surfaces on the front panel, the case is definitely an eye-catcher.
Clever Airflow
The REV200 comes with three addressable 120-millimeter fans in the front and two identical fans in the back of the case. The graphics card and other components are thereby optimally cooled. The REV200 also has a special feature for the power supply: This can be mounted decoupled in two different directions. In addition, the PC case is especially made for the installation of a water cooling: Not only in the front, but also in the rear of the case is there the possibility to mount a 240-millimeter radiator. And by removing the tunnel cover and one of the two integrated hard drive cages, it is even possible to install a 360-millimeter radiator.
Impressive Illumination
Spectacular RGB lighting is provided by the four pre-installed 120 millimeter fans with multi-layered illumination. These are equipped with encircling addressable LEDs on three levels, producing multi-layered effects. In addition, the case comes with a pre-installed RGB controller for up to eight LED components. This enables color and effect control of the four fans and, if desired, four additional LED components via the synchronization software of compatible mainboards. The mainboards should have connections with 5V-D-coded-G or 5V-D-G pinouts. But also, even if the mainboard has no connection for addressable LEDs, numerous lighting effects can be still be selected. For this purpose, a dedicated button is available on the top of the case.
Tidy Cable Management
For an especially tidy look, the REV200 offers clever ways to conceal the cabling. On the one hand, there are a number of cable pass-throughs within the case, and on the other hand, there is a spacious cable compartment in the top of the case. A magnetic cover on the top panel protects the compartment from dust and dirt and provides the user with quick access. Inside the cable compartment, Sharkoon has also provided a cable clip to neatly bundle and lead the connecting cables out through the back of the case. With two centimeters of space between the mainboard tray and the side panel, there is enough space to neatly store the cables. Here, and within the tunnel in the bottom of the case, the storage media (up to two hard drives and four SSDs) can conveniently disappear.
Inside: Plenty of Room and Protected from Dust
With this revolutionary case layout, no compromises must be made when choosing hardware. The case can hold large graphics cards up to 32.3 centimeters in length, CPU coolers up to 16.5 centimeters in height, and power supplies up to 20 centimeters in length. The radiator in the front can have a maximum thickness of 6.4 centimeters including the fans, while for the radiator in the back of the case, this can be up to 6 centimeters. Thanks to removable dust filters in the front and bottom panels, the hardware is also effectively protected against dust and dirt.
Pohlheim, 06 November 2019 -Sharkoon Technologies is an international supplier of PC components and peripherals, offering performance at a reasonable price. Sharkoon introduces the SKILLER SGK5, an RGB illuminated rubber dome keyboard for gamers. The keyboard has n-key rollover support, handy multimedia keys and a detachable wrist rest.
Customizable RGB Illumination
The SKILLER SGK5 has an RGB background illumination with six zones and a range of 16.8 million colors. Preconfigured lighting effects are ready to use, and these can be selected, via dedicated keys, even without the use of software. For more personalized effects, a software is available as a free download, which allows the illumination to be modified as desired.
Full Control with N-Key Rollover
Commonly, rubber dome keyboards only have 2-key rollover, whereby a maximum of two keystrokes will be simultaneously registered. However, thanks to the SKILLER SGK5’s n-key rollover, a number of keys can be pressed at the same time, and this will be reliably communicated to the keyboard’s system. In combination with anti-ghosting technology, gamers will never lose control of the game, even when things get hectic.
Wrist Rest for More Comfort
The detachable wrist rest of the SKILLER SGK5 can be magnetically fixed onto the keyboard with ease and provides optimal typing comfort. If the wrist rest is not needed, it can be just as easily removed.
Fast Reacting Rubber Dome Switches
For inputs with an especially quick response, the SKILLER SGK5 is equipped with mid-height, quick-triggering keys with a keycap height of only seven millimeters. The life cycle of the rubber domes amounts to at least ten million keystrokes, and the keyboard can thus be expected to have a long lifespan. If desired, it is also possible to adjust the key response time.
Practical Special Keys for Gaming and Multimedia
In addition, Sharkoon has equipped the keyboard with dedicated keys for lighting effects, macros and game profiles. The keys enable uncomplicated use in everyday situations and while gaming. With two integrated rotary knobs on the top right corner of the keyboard, the volume and illumination brightness can be intuitively adjusted.
Gaming Software for Full Modification
With the free, downloadable gaming software from Sharkoon, not only the illumination but also numerous keyboard functions can be controlled. Macros and multimedia commands can be easily programmed, reassigned and saved in a number of profiles. Adjustments are saved in the onboard memory of the SKILLER SGK5.
Pohlheim, 29. October 2019 - Sharkoon Technologies is an international supplier of PC components and peripherals, offering performance at a reasonable price. Sharkoon introduces a new midi ATX tower, the TG6 RGB. This PC case combines the chic look of glass with a spacious interior, where a water-cooling system will find enough room. In addition, the installed components are put perfectly into the scene by the four pre-installed 120 millimeter fans with their multi-layered RGB illumination.
Case Design with Strong Airflow
The four pre-installed 120 millimeter addressable RGB fans provide the necessary airflow. Three of them are in the front of the case and one in the back. Thanks to the new, modular frame design, no screws are visible on the fans. The rubberized contact points and the aerodynamic fan blades provide quiet running and a high rate of airflow. Optionally, three additional 120 millimeter or two 140 millimeter fans can be installed under the top panel. In order to protect the fans and hardware from dust and dirt, the top, bottom and front panels all have removable filters, the top panel filter being attached magnetically.
Radiator Installation Made Easy
With a mounting height of up to 5.2 centimeters, the front of the case provides enough space for the installation of a radiator. The installation of heat exchangers or fans is both innovative and easy thanks to a completely detachable fan tray. With this, a 360 millimeter radiator can be mounted quickly and easily, making the TG6 RGB more than ideal for the installation of water cooling.
Multi-Layered RGB Illumination
Spectacular RGB lighting is provided by the four pre-installed 120 millimeter fans with multi-layered illumination. These are equipped with encircling addressable LEDs on three levels, producing multi-layered effects. In addition, the case comes with a pre-installed RGB controller for up to eight LED components. This enables color and effect control of the four fans and, if desired, four additional LED components via the synchronization software of compatible mainboards. The mainboards should have connections with 5V-D-coded-G or 5V-D-G pinouts. But also, even if the mainboard has no connection for addressable LEDs, numerous lighting effects can be still be selected. For this purpose, a dedicated button is available on the top of the case.
Tempered Glass for the Best View
Not only the side panel, but also the front of the TG6 RGB is made of tempered glass, providing an unhindered view of the installed hardware. Only the power supply, cabling and data storage drives remain hidden in the tunnel or behind the mainboard tray, contributing to a tidy hardware installation. The HDD/SSD cage in the tunnel can also be flexibly positioned thanks to the extra-long slots in the bottom panel to create, for example, more space for a front radiator. For a neat and secure hold, the side panel is attached with thumbscrews to the back of the case. Thus, no screws are visible on the glass itself.
Plenty of Room for Components
The TG6 RGB offers enough space for components such as graphics cards with a length of up to 40 centimeters, a CPU cooler with a height of up to 16.7 centimeters, and power supplies with a maximum length of up to 20.5 centimeters. In addition, up to three 3.5” or four 2.5” drives will find room in the PC case.

The following are already available with the Eintracht design: the Drakonia II Eintracht Frankfurt Sonderedition - with 15,000 DPI and RGB illumnation; a matching mouse mat, the SKILLER SGP1 Eintracht Frankfurt Sonderedition, available in sizes L, XL und XXL; and the mechanical keyboard, the SKILLER MECH SGK3 Eintracht Frankfurt Sonderedition, with adjustable RGB illumination and mechanical Kailh switches.
Pohlheim, 15. October 2019 - Sharkoon Technologies is an international supplier of PC components and peripherals, offering performance at a reasonable price. Sharkoon now presents a new midi ATX tower, the RGB FLOW. The case catches attention with its minimalistic design, highlighted by the two integrated addressable RGB strips. Enough room is also available inside the case, where up to six fans or, alternatively, correspondingly large radiators can be installed. In addition, Sharkoon ensures various installation possibilities for HDDs and SSDs.
Air FLOW for Optimal Cooling
While the RGB strips on the front and side panels provide a stream of light, the right amount of airflow is provided by the fine mesh grille on the front panel together with the pre-installed 120-millimeter fan. To optimize this, there are four further locations ready for fan installation: a 120 millimeter fan at the front, two under the top panel and one more at the rear of the case. There is still enough space for radiators. A 360 millimeter model with a height of up to 6.4 centimeters will fit behind the front panel, and a 280 millimeter model with a height of up to 5.5 centimeters will fit in the top of the case. Dust filters on the front, top and bottom panels protect the hardware from dust and dirt. All the filters can be easily removed for quick and easy cleaning.
Direct View of Hardware
The tempered glass side panel attaches using two thumbscrews on the back of the case and offers an unimpeded view of the installed hardware. This is showcased even more effectively thanks to the LED strip situated underneath the glass panel.
Addressable LEDs for the Necessary FLOW
The RGB FLOW is equipped on both the front and side with an LED strip. Both strips are daisy-chained and can be connected to the integrated RGB controller. The controller has connections for three additional LED components, and this way, a synchronized lighting with 14 effects can be achieved even without software and a compatible mainboard. The effects are selected using the reset switch of the case. Alternatively, the RGB controller can be connected to a mainboard with a 4- or 3-pin RGB connection (pinout 5V-D-coded-G or V-D-G). This enables the illumination to be integrated into the most common RGB synchronization technology of leading mainboard manufacturers.
Enough Room for Enough Data Storage
Up to six SSDs have locations on and in the power supply tunnel and behind the mainboard tray. For either SSDs or 3.5” hard drives, an SSD/HDD cage is available alongside the power supply. The cage can be easily moved a few centimeters via the extra-long thumbscrew slots, or it can be completely removed. To preclude unwanted noise from the HDDs, the HDD trays have been provided with rubber contact points.
Compact Yet Roomy Case
Despite the compact design, graphics cards with a length of up to 35 centimeters and CPU coolers with a height of up to 16.5 centimeters will find room. For power supplies, 21.5 centimeters is available in a tunnel, which itself contributes to a tidy and orderly appearance for the installed hardware.
Pohlheim, 19 September 2019 – Sharkoon Technologies is an international supplier of PC components and peripherals, offering performance at a reasonable price. Sharkoon now presents the ELBRUS 1 and the ELBRUS 2: two models of comfortable and ergonomic gaming chairs. Each model uses different materials has a different design. For maximum durability, the gaming chairs are made with an integrated steel frame and have a sturdy five-star base.
ELBRUS 1: Tilt Mechanism for More Comfort.
To relieve the back and for more comfort, the ELBRUS 1 is equipped with a tilt mechanism. The pleasant rocking motion provided by this mechanism helps the user to relax during long gaming sessions. The handle for locking and unlocking the tilt mechanism is within easy reach on the underside of the chair.

Not only the seat height but also the horizontal angle of the arm rests and the angle of the backrest can be modified. The backrest can be steplessly reclined and locked at an angle between 90° and 160°, offering a comfortable sitting position for any kind of situation.
Padded Armrests to Flip Up or Down.
For maximum freedom of movement when, for example, using racing peripherals, the user can simply flip up the armrests of the ELBRUS 1. No levers or tools are required to do this: the armrests are easily pushed up by hand. However, when folded down, the padding of the armrests contributes to the overall comfort of the chair and provides relaxation for the arms.
Extra Padding for Back and Neck.
While the ELBRUS 1 has extra padding on the armrests, the ELBRUS2 specifically provides this for the head and the lumber area of the back. Here, Sharkoon has included two cushions which have a soft textile cover and can be flexibly fastened onto the chair as required.
ELBRUS 1 with Easy-to-Clean and Breathable Textile Cover.
For comfortable sitting in summer and winter, the ELBRUS 1 is upholstered with a breathable and easily maintained textile cover. At the warmest time of the year, this provides ideal water vapor permeability and dissipation of warmth. In contrast, during the winter, the cover offers immediate warmth and coziness. Cleaning the cover is also uncomplicated as this can be done with a non-fluff cloth and conventional cleaning agents.
Synthetic Leather Cover for ELBRUS 2.
In contrast to the ELBRUS 1, the ELBRUS 2 is upholstered with sturdy synthetic leather. The material is easy to maintain and can impress with a high degree of durability. The colored stitching sets a distinct accent for each color version of the chair.
Maximum Load up to 120 Kg and 150 Kg.
Both gaming chairs are equipped inside with a stable steel frame and are placed on a sturdy five-star base, which, like the frame, is also made of steel. The ELBRUS 1 is made for a maximum load of 120 Kg while the ELBRUS 2 can take up to 150 kg. Both chairs are designed for users with a maximum body height of 190 cm. The five wheels under the five-star base provide a stable hold as well as full freedom of movement. The wheels of the ELBRUS 1 have a diameter of 50 millimeters and those of the ELBRUS 2 have a diameter of 60 millimeters.
Pohlheim, 25 July 2019 – Sharkoon Technologies is an international supplier of PC components and peripherals, offering performance at a reasonable price. Sharkoon now presents its new monitor stands, which are available in two versions: the PURE and the POWER. At first glance, both versions appear the same. A closer look, however, reveals their differences in features: The PURE version creates extra storage space available under the monitor, while, in addition to this, the POWER version also offers a USB hub and a wireless charging station.
More Space on the Desk
Both the Monitor Stand PURE and the Monitor Stand POWER support an ergonomic sitting position by raising the screen. In addition, the monitor stands provide extra storage room on top of the desk. Thus, underneath the raised monitor, peripherals will find newly gained space measuring 440 x 190 x 46 millimeters, where keyboards can also find a home.
Wireless Charging with the Monitor Stand POWER
With the Monitor Stand POWER, compatible devices can be conveniently and easily charged using the integrated wireless charging station. This is a contact surface on the top, right-hand side of the monitor stand, where the device is simply placed for charging. The device could be a wireless mouse (like the Sharkoon SKILLER SGM3) or a smartphone, for example. The charging occurs with an output power of five watts maximum.
Steady and Stable Screen Raiser
For a firm and steady hold, both versions of the monitor stand have been made of steel with a thickness of 1.3 millimeters and can therefore support larger devices with a weight of up to 20 kilograms without difficulty. In addition, the nonslip feet on the underside contribute to the overall stability of the monitor stands.
Connections Always within Reach: Monitor Stand POWER
In contrast to the Monitor Stand PURE, up to four USB devices or four flash drives can be plugged into the Monitor Stand POWER for operation. A 100-centimeter-long cable connects the integrated USB hub to a USB 3.0 port on the PC. Having to inconveniently search for available ports on the host computer thus becomes unnecessary.
Pohlheim, 18 July 2019 – Sharkoon Technologies is an international supplier of PC components and peripherals, offering performance at a reasonable price. Sharkoon now presents the SKILLER SGM3, its first wireless gaming mouse. In the wireless mode, the mouse is powered by a lithium-ion battery, which can be charged either wirelessly or through a USB cable. Along with the RGB illumination, useful features such as a DPI and battery indication are, of course, included.
Endless Gaming Fun
The SKILLER SGM3 is equipped with an optical sensor which has 6,000 DPI and a polling rate of 1,000 hertz. The default settings for the DPI levels, the mouse speed and the button assignments can all be changed as desired using the high-performance gaming software.
Practical RGB Highlight
The SKILLER logo on the top surface of the SKILLER SGM3 helps the user to keep track of things. The logo not only indicates the currently selected DPI level, but it also shows a warning if the battery charge is low. A specific illumination color for each DPI level can be freely chosen from a spectrum of 16.8 million colors. The DPI levels themselves can also be configurated as desired.
Wireless or Wired
For wireless operation, the SKILLER SGM3 uses 2.4 GHz frequency communication, which is realized via the supplied USB nano receiver. Alternatively, the gaming mouse can be operated through a cable connection. To do this, Sharkoon has also included a textile braided USB cable. Using a switch on the underside of the mouse, either one of the two operating modes can be effortlessly selected.
User-Friendly
Whether for gaming or for work, the SKILLER SGM3 always provides an optimal grip thanks to the rubber surfaces on either side of the mouse. Moreover, the gaming mouse has a total of seven buttons which can all be reassigned with new functions through the gaming software. However, even without the software, all the mouse buttons will be recognized thanks to plug and play.
Hours of Gaming
The SKILLER SGM3 is equipped with a lithium-ion battery which guarantees hours of gaming enjoyment. The battery can be conveniently recharged either wirelessly or even during the game using the included USB cable. Monitor the battery level either in the software or thanks to the illuminated SKILLER logo, which blinks as soon as the battery reaches a critically low level.
Pohlheim, 3 July 2019 - Sharkoon Technologies is an international supplier of PC components and peripherals, offering performance at a reasonable price. Sharkoon now presents their latest PC cases, the CA200M and the CA200G, from the new premium series, ELITE SHARK. Both cases stand aside from price-conscious criteria and are dedicated to a presentation of elegance and sophistication as well as extensive room for high-end hardware. Of course, tempered glass side panels and RGB illumination are not forgotten.
ELITE SHARK CA200M: Abundant Room Inside with Optimum Airflow
Next to an elegant side panel made of tempered glass, the CA200M also has a front panel with a fine mesh grille which caters for an enhanced throughput of air. Thus, the PC case not only allows an optimal view into the inside workings of the case, but it also provides the installed components with an ideal airflow. The hinged side panel enables quick and easy access to the inside of the case.
ELITE SHARK CA200G: Pure Elegance
Just like the case version described above, the CA200G also has a hinged side panel made of tempered glass. However, there is just one difference that characterizes this version: instead of a mesh grille, the main element of the CA200G’s front panel is made of glass. Due to its reflective tint, the glass is almost non-translucent and is thus a perfect background for the RGB illumination.
Ample Space for High-End Components
As well as ATX and E-ATX mainboards, graphics cards with a length of up to 42.5 centimeters will also find room in the CA200M and CA200G full towers. In addition, CPU coolers with a height up to 16.5 centimeters and power supplies with a length of up to 24 centimeters have space within the generous dimensions inside the cases. Apart from the complete system cabling, four 3.5 inch hard drives and seven 2.5 inch SSDs can all be installed.
Sophistication in Color
Both PC cases are not only equipped with LED strip lighting on the front panel, but they are also pre-installed with a 120 mm addressable LED fan on the back panel. Via mainboards with headers for addressable LEDs, it is also possible to connect up to six more lighting components. Using the pin configuration 5V-D-coded-G or 5V-D-G, these elements can be illuminated within a range of 16.8 million colors. However, even without this connection on mainboards, the illumination can still be adjusted. This occurs through the integrated RGB controller which allows 20 preset lighting effects to be selected using the case’s dedicated illuminated switch.
Graphics Card Installation: Classic or Vertical
Whichever version of the ELITE SHARK CA200 you choose, there are no limits to the installation of graphics cards. These can be conventionally mounted or even mounted vertically. For classical horizontal installation, a graphics card holder is included as an accessory, which is simply installed with thumbscrews. The holder, with a protective rubber cover, prevents the graphics card from sagging. Two additional expansion slots are available on the case for vertically positioned graphics cards. To install these, a vertical graphics card kit is separately available from Sharkoon.
Optimum Airflow in both Versions
In both the CA200M and the CA200G there are seven locations for fans. In addition, the case will support dual radiator setups: 420 millimeter radiators can be installed in the front of the case, and 360 millimeter heat-exchangers can be placed under the top panel. With a special mount and extra-long installation slots inside the case, Sharkoon has also catered for the easy installation of a reservoir and water-cooling pump. And to avoid dust and dirt from entering the case, every opening for airflow has a removable dust filter.
Pohlheim, 25 June 2019 – Sharkoon Technologies is an international supplier of PC components and peripherals, offering performance at a reasonable price. Sharkoon now presents the Gaming DAC Pro S.

Thus, in gaming, an accurate determination of direction and distance is possible as well as a continually clear voice transmission.
No Software Needed – Just DAC and Play
For the best possible ease of use, no software is needed for the Gaming DAC Pro S. The digital-to-analog converter only has to be connected to a USB port and then a headset or loudspeaker - and for this, a gold-plated port for a TRRS/stereo plug is provided. Those who wish to use android devices are not left out as a separately available OTG adapter can also be used with the Gaming DAC Pro S.
High-Resolution and Certified Sound Quality
To ensure a high sampling frequency and a sound dynamic of studio quality, the Gaming DAC Pro S is certified to fulfil the requirements of the Japan Audio Society (JAS). On the basis of this, the converter ensures a modern and high-resolution audio quality.
Compact and Portable
With the size and format of a common USB flash drive, the Gaming DAC Pro S is easy to transport and always ready for use. On the computer, the digital-to-analog converter takes up no more room than the connection plug of a peripheral device, and yet it will add a significant enhancement to the sound.
Crystal Clear Sound without Interference
Thanks to the excellent signal-to-noise ratio of 100 decibels, the Gaming DAC Pro S can guarantee crystal clear sound. The device offers an alternative to built-in system sound cards and thus avoids background noise which, for example, can emanate from the power supply.

Pohlheim, 5. March 2019 – Sharkoon Technologies is an international supplier of PC components and peripherals which boasts performance at a reasonable price. Sharkoon will be supporting the German Bundesliga and sports club Eintracht Frankfurt with the foundation and establishment of an eSport academy. This also includes sponsoring in the form of hardware. The existing EA Sports FIFA team has already been equipped with gaming peripherals and gaming chairs to realize an ideal basis for the players. In addition, the future League of Legends eSport Team will be receiving the right equipment for its start.
A Common Approach
The technology company based in Pohlheim in the German state of Hesse feels connected to the traditional Frankfurt club not only because of the common residency in the region, but also because of the integral approach to the training and promotion of local talents: from courses for all young aspirants, right up to the promotion of top players. In this sense, Eintracht Frankfurt stands for a sustainable basis of (club) community, passion and ability. These are elements which also characterize Sharkoon Technologies and which have made it one of the leading manufacturers of gaming peripherals and computer accessories over the past 15 years, from the beginnings as a local supplier of PC case modifications.
Performance in Focus
For the start of the virtual national league, Sharkoon has already equipped the two EA Sports FIFA players, Maik "Sn0wGoogles" Kubitzki and Marko "Makibest" Mihaljevi, with the SKILLER SGS4 gaming chairs. These award-winning bestsellers were especially designed for use in eSports. In addition to comfortable covers made of synthetic leather, their development focused on the performance of the players. The gaming chairs are therefore fully adjustable to the needs of the players, including the seat height, the armrests and the backrest. In addition to the gaming chairs, it is planned to provide the League of Legends Team with mouse pads, keyboards, mice and headsets from the manufacturer's high-performance range.
“With Sharkoon, we have found a local partner who already has expertise in eSports and who can provide us with the ideal foundation for our players. These will be exciting times for us - and we are looking forward to that," said Timm Jäger, Advisor to the Executive Board at Eintracht Frankfurt Fußball AG. Andrei Lyamin, Director of Product Development & Marketing at Sharkoon Technologies, commented: "The cooperation with Eintracht Frankfurt eSports is a big win for both sides: Eintracht has the talents and we have the right know-how and equipment. We are looking forward to future.”
Pohlheim, 28. February 2019 - Sharkoon Technologies is an international supplier of PC components and peripherals which boasts performance at a reasonable price. Sharkoon introduces its new ATX midi tower: the VG7-W. This PC case combines an expressive appearance with the ideal intake of air, and despite the compact dimensions, no-one should have to make great compromises when choosing the hardware for their new system. This is thanks to a structured and roomy design inside the case provided by the manufacturer.
Acrylic Side Panel Window and Illuminated Fans
The side panel of the VG7-W has a large acrylic window offering a clear view of the case interior. In contrast, the front panel offers a sporty, modern appearance combined with a good airflow supported by the air-permeable mesh grille, behind which are two pre-installed 120 mm LED fans. The rear panel has another pre-installed fan to provide a constant throughput of air. Versions are available with blue, red or green illumination. A version with RGB illumination is also available.
Addressable LEDs in the RGB Version
The three fans inside the RGB version of the VG7-W are equipped with addressable RGB LEDs to synchronize illumination effects with other components via compatible mainboards (pin configuration: 5V-D-coded-G or 5V-D-G). If the mainboard does not have the appropriate header, fourteen different lighting effects can be selected via the reset switch of the case.
Removable Dust Filters and Plenty of Space for Hardware
To protect the hardware from deposits of dust, Sharkoon has incorporated dust filters covering areas of air-intake. These can be removed for easy cleaning. Despite the compact size of the case, no considerable sacrifices have to be made when configurating the hardware system. Inside, there is enough space for graphics cards with a length of up to 37.5 cm, as well as up to four SSDs, up to three HDDs and an optical drive.
Linden, 31 January 2019 – Sharkoon Technologies is an international supplier of PC components and peripherals which boasts performance at a reasonable price. Sharkoon introduces their new ATX midi tower series: VG6-W. This PC case series is designed for budget-conscious users with air-cooled systems. The VG6-W is equipped with either three single-color illuminated LED fans or three RGB illuminated fans as well as a striking exterior plus acrylic front and side windows.
Conspicuous Looks
The front panel of the VG6-W should especially appeal to gamers, which gives the case a unique retro-futuristic finish. The eye-like LEDs above on the front panel lend an expressive character. The angular acrylic window underneath brings the pre-installed LED fans to the fore.
Hardware on Show
The side panel of the Sharkoon VG6-W has a large acrylic window to present the built-in components of the system. All possible modifications inside the case can be optimally presented.
Compact Inside
This ATX midi tower may, at first, appear to be quite compact; but here, hardware compatibility does not have to be compromised. The interior easily incorporates mainboards up to the ATX standard, and up to four SSDs, up to three HDDs and an optical drive (5.25").
Optimal Airflow – Pre-Installed
The VG6-W comes already equipped with three 120 millimeter case fans: two at the front and one at the back. The PC case is available in four different versions: Three versions feature single-color illuminated fans with either red, green or blue lighting. Another version has illuminated fans with RGB functionality. These RGB fans each have nine addressable LEDs which can be connected to the mainboard (pin configuration 5V-D-coded-G or 5V-D-G). If the mainboard does not provide compatible lighting control, the reset switch can be used to select a total of 14 lighting effects.
Linden, 16 January 2019 – Sharkoon Technologies is an international supplier of PC components and peripherals which boasts performance at a reasonable price. Sharkoon presents the SilentStorm Cool Zero. This is an 80 PLUS Gold certified PC power supply with modern and superior components. Its high-quality features enable an efficient power supply and adjustable cooling.
80 PLUS Gold Certification
The SilentStorm Cool Zero has been certified 80 PLUS Gold for its efficiency of up to 92 percent at 230 volts. This verifies that the power supply unit operates cost-effectively and is ideal for energy-conscious users.
Reliable and Stable due to High- Quality Components
Sharkoon has equipped the power supply with exclusively Japanese capacitors rated at 105 degrees Celsius and a 135 millimeter fan with a fluid dynamic bearing. The latter ensures a particularly quiet and reliable operation with an average lifespan of up to 100,000 hours.
Highly Adaptable Cooling Behavior: “Fan Delay“ & “Zero RPM“
There are two switches on the back of the power supply that each activate one of two different fan functions. In the Fan Delay mode, the power supply fan continues to run for 60 seconds after shutting down. This avoids hot spots, removes remaining waste heat, and ensures complete system cooling. The Zero RPM mode fully stops fan rotation at low to medium load to enable a silent operation. When the Zero RPM mode is disabled, the fan constantly provides airflow at a low rotational speed, thus providing continuous cooling.
Stability and Longevity with Comprehensive Protection Features
In addition to high-quality capacitors, Sharkoon relies on state-of-the-art LLC resonant converter technology. This allows the SilentStorm Cool Zero to deliver a consistent and reliable voltage with high efficiency.
Of course, the power supply is equipped with all standard protection functions. Thus, it is armed against over current, over and under voltage, short circuits, overheating and overload.
Fully Modular and RYZEN Compatible
Because of the fully modular cable system, only those cables on the power supply are used which are actually needed when connecting the hardware and peripherals. The entire wiring and the interior of the PC case thus remain tidy, and the air flow is not hindered by unnecessary cables. In addition, sockets for two 4+4-pin CPU connectors ensure 100% compatibility with AMD RYZEN mainboards
Availability
The Sharkoon SilentStorm Cool Zero power supply is now available in three classes of performance.

Linden, November 2018. Sharkoon Technologies is an international supplier of PC components and peripherals which boast performance at a reasonable price. Sharkoon now presents the TG4, a more compact case version of the TG5. In addition, the manufacturer has added an RGB lit midi tower with addressable fans to its SKILLER SGC1 series. The latter model now also features a tempered glass side panel instead of acrylic. The TG4 is also comes with addressable RGB fans, but models are also available with single color fans.
Sharkoon TG4: Compact Case for Price-Conscious Gamers
The Sharkoon TG4 is more compact than the highly acclaimed and proven TG5. When developing this ATX midi tower, the focus was on a compact format with small dimensions, so unnecessary features such as mounting bays for optical drives were deliberately avoided. However, there are no major limitations to the hardware which can be used: When it comes to mainboards, mini-ITX and (micro-)ATX models can be easily mounted. The graphics card and the power supply unit can be a maximum of 37.5 and 26.5 centimeters respectively. The CPU cooler should not exceed a height of 16 centimeters. There is also room for two 3.5 inch and four 2.5 inch drives. This makes the TG4 ideal for air-cooled systems.
Modern Optics Thanks to Glass and RGB
Just like its predecessor, the TG4 has a tempered glass front and side panel, which not only provides an elegant design, but also provides a generous view of the components. The TG4 is also equipped with four pre-installed and illuminated 120 millimeter fans. Three of them are located in the front and one in the rear, which guarantees an efficient air flow.
For the lighting, the buyer has a choice of three variants, either with red, blue or RGB illuminated fans. The latter are addressable models that can be connected to an integrated 4-port RGB controller. This controller can be connected to a 3-pin connector for addressable RGB LEDs on the mainboard so that colors and effects can synchronize with the other components. Alternatively, the lighting can also be controlled manually. In this mode, 14 lighting effects are available, which can be switched through via the reset button on the case. The illumination can also be completely deactivated.
Sharkoon SKILLER SGC1 RGB Completes the Product Range
With the Sharkoon SKILLER SGC1 RGB, the manufacturer has added a version with two addressable 120 millimeter RGB LED fans and a side panel made of tempered glass to its range of cases of the same name. The models currently available are equipped with single-color fans and an acrylic side window. The new version also has a 4-port RGB controller that can be connected to the mainboard to synchronize the lighting effects with the rest of the hardware. Like the TG4, it is also possible to select the 14 lighting effects via the reset button or to switch off the illumination completely.
The Usual Wide Range of Features
Otherwise, the virtues of the SKILLER SGC1 series are of course retained. This also includes the numerous installation options: for example, mounting mainboards in mini-ITX, micro-ATX and ATX standards is no problem. It is also possible to integrate CPU coolers up to a height of 15.3 centimeters as well as graphics cards with a length of 40 centimeters and power supply units with a length of 24 centimeters. In addition, two 5.25 inch installation bays are available in which, for example, optical drives can be tool-free installed. Alternatively, 3.5 inch hard drives can also be installed. But if more space is needed, the bays can also be completely dismantled.
In the underside of the case there is a tunnel that covers the power supply and the hard drive cage, thus ensuring a tidy appearance. The cage can be moved to a certain extent and it allows the installation of two HDDs. The hard drives are decoupled from the cage by suitable rubber coatings. Sharkoon has put a cut out in the cover towards the front in order to create space for the installation of water cooling radiators; and thanks to practical extra-long slots, different sizes can be flexibly installed in the bottom and the top of the case. Numerous cable pass-throughs also allow the cables to be laid neatly. In addition, the interior is protected by removable dust filters on the front, top and bottom.
Prices and Availability
All three versions of the Sharkoon TG4 are now available. The Sharkoon SKILLER SGC1 RGB is also available now.
Linden, 21 November 2018. Sharkoon Technologies is an international supplier of PC components und peripherals which boast performance at a reasonable price. Sharkoon has now expanded their popular 1337 RGB mouse mat series with additional sizes. As before, the gaming mats offer perfect gliding properties and a nonslip base. In addition, the mouse mat has a cable guide, keeping the connecting cables tidily out of the way.
Sharkoon 1337 RGB with a robust soft surface.
The mouse mats of the 1337 RGB series possess a resilient textile surface for long durability. This has been manufactured in a way that always allows the mouse to effortlessly glide without resistance. To prevent the mouse from slipping even during heated battles, Sharkoon has again relied on a rubberized underside. What’s new, though, is the RGB illumination, which is integrated in the border of the mat. And to enable the lighting to fully come to its visible effect, the manufacturer has used a transparent nylon thread for attaching the LED strip to the mat.
Easy Use and Lighting Effects.
The colors of the illumination can be selected from a specific RGB spectrum. In addition, three different lighting modes are provided, which can be selected and adjusted by the touch of a button on the controller of the 1337 RGB mouse mat. Due to its height of only 9 mm, the controller unit remains unobtrusive even when a wide field for maneuver is needed. Sharkoon has also integrated a practical mouse cable guide for more convenience while gaming.
Various Sizes for Every Kind of Gamer.
All the gaming mouse mats of the 1337 RGB series are only 3 mm thick and thus maintain a low profile. Differences only occur when it comes to the surface size: The already available 1337 RGB measures 359 x 279 mm and is thus the ideal choice for most users. Whoever needs more space, can reach for the 1337 RGB XL, which amounts to 450 x 380 mm. And for those who also want to place their keyboard on the mousepad, the 1337 RGB XXL is available. This version measures a proud 905 x 425 mm and enables an unhindered use of the mouse.
The new bigger gaming mats of the 1337 RGB series are now available.
Linden, 29 October 2018 – Sharkoon Technologies is an international supplier of PC components und peripherals which boast performance at a reasonable price. Sharkoon now presents its latest gaming mouse: the SKILLER SGM2. The mouse concentrates on essential virtues and avoids any unnecessary extras. The result is a straightforward, ergonomic peripheral device for right-handers with plug and play installation and an optical sensor capable of 6,400 DPI – at a very competitive price.
Comfortable Use Thanks to Proven Design
The SKILLER SGM2 is well suited for right-handers due to its ergonomic form and always offers a comfortable grip thanks to the carefully chosen materials in its manufacture. The rubberized sides and its form allow the mouse to fit comfortably in hand with nearly any style of grip. Extra convenience is provided by the easily accessible thumb buttons which possess a clearly felt pressure point.
Optical Sensor with 6,400 DPI
The inside of the SKILLER SGM2 also has something to offer due to its optical sensor with a maximum DPI of 6,400. There are four steps to choose from: 400, 1,200, 3,200 and 6,400 DPI. This, in combination with a 1,000 Hertz polling rate, should always ensure precise input and maneuvers. Using the DPI switch, the resolution of the sensor can be quickly selected even during the game. The illuminated SKILLER logo serves as an indicator - with a different color for each chosen DPI level. Any complex software has been consciously avoided, resulting in mouse which can be put into use quickly and easily.
Effective RGB Illumination
The SKILLER SGM2 gaming mouse catches the eye with its classic yet colorful design: The uncomplicated appearance in black is set off by an RGB contour stripe and the lit SKILLER logo. Using the switch on the underside of the mouse, six lighting modes can be selected. If no illumination is desired, the LEDs can be completely deactivated.
The Sharkoon SKILLER SGM2 gaming mouse is now available.
Linden, 22 October 2018 – Sharkoon Technologies, is a globally active supplier of PC components and peripherals which boast performance at an affordable price. The Sharkoon brand has now expanded its range of gaming chairs and introduces the SKILLER SGS5: a premium model with an upholstery cover in real leather.
High Quality Cover Made of Real Leather
The Sharkoon SKILLER SGS5 makes its debut in the color black and offers an upholstery cover in real leather. Due to the characteristics of this breathable material, such as creases, grain and natural blemishes, the SKILLER SGS5 not only makes an especially welcoming appearance of high quality but also offers top-class comfort.
Flexible Head and Lumbar Cushions included
If needed, the included cushions can be easily attached and flexibly positioned, resting the neck and spine - which is especially important for long gaming sessions. The textile cushion covers can be easily removed and washed at 30 degrees.
High Degree of Comfort and Durable Framework
The Sharkoon SKILLER SGS5 possesses the same generous dimensions and comfort features as the SGS4: The maximum load still amounts to 150 kilograms due to fact that this new model also has a robust framework made of steel. The recommended maximum body size of the user is 200 cm, made possible by the large seating surface and wide backrest.
Aluminum Five-Star Base and Wheels with Locks
The solid five-star base, made of aluminum, and the extra-large 75 mm wheels provide additional stability. The wheels should guarantee mobility on all even floor surfaces and give a secure hold thanks to the practical lock function. Above all, racing game enthusiasts, who immerse themselves in games using racing wheels, will find this feature as a decisive advantage: Thanks to the brakes, the chair will not roll back when the pedals are pushed down.
Comfortable Padding and 4D Armrests.
Best seating comfort is promised by a supportive foam padding– with a quoted density of 70 kg/m3 - on the seat and backrest. An ergonomic sitting posture is assisted by the 4D armrests. These can be adjusted for the desired height, width and armlength. They can also be adjusted at a horizontal angle. The stable class 4 gas lift piston provides the optimal seating height. For relaxing, even during the game, the suspension supported rock function can be applied, and, using the tilt angle lock, the chair can be locked at stepped angles from 0 to 14 degrees. For prolonged gaming breaks, the backrest can be reclined and fixed at an angle from 90 to 160 degrees.
The Sharkoon SKILLER SGS5 Gaming Seat is now available.
Linden, 15th October 2018 – With the PURE STEEL, Sharkoon Technologies introduces an ATX midi tower which puts individual creativity into the foreground. The spacious case catches the eye with its minimalist steel body and almost frameless side panel made of tempered glass. In combination with a power supply tunnel which is situated in the top of the case, the side panel should provide an optimal view of the individualized hardware configuration – including the illuminated fan of the power supply. The blank and inconspicuous front panel can thus become the actual side panel. The case would therefore be appropriate as a hardware showroom to be placed on the table top. Those wishing to put a special frame around their hardware can do so using the steel chassis - with its black or white foundation - as a blank canvass for various modding ideas.
For a worthwhile display of the hardware, the PURE STEEL should also be able to incorporate demanding components such as mainboards with dual or multi-processors, CPU coolers with a maximum height of 16 cm as well as graphic cards with a maximum length of 42 cm. A rubberized support is also pre-installed which prevents any sagging of the graphics card.
The PURE STEEL has a pre-installed 120 mm fan at the back and another on the bottom panel. If the HDD/SSD mounting cover is removed from the side panel, up to six 120 mm fans can be installed. The case has extra-long slots for water cooling compatibility. The bottom of the case has sufficient space for a 360 mm radiator.
The PURE STEEL is also available as an RGB version with a black chassis. This version comes with a total of four pre-installed RGB fans all with addressable LEDs. Three fans are situated on the bottom panel and one at the back. The case has a controller for the RGB fans, and this can be used as a hub, connecting compatible mainboards with up to eight addressable RGB components. The illumination is then controlled via the mainboard software. Alternatively, for mainboards without a connection for addressable RGB, the LED components can be manually controlled using the reset switch on top of the case to select fourteen pre-set lighting effects.
The PURE STEEL is now available in a black, white and RGB version.
Linden, 30 August 2018 – Sharkoon Technologies is celebrating their 15th anniversary with a case especially made for high-end gaming hardware. The NIGHT SHARK ATX Midi Tower is the largest chassis PC case launched so far by Sharkoon. It is able to incorporate larger dual and multi-processor mainboards, graphic cards with a maximum length of 42 cm plus CPU coolers with a maximum height of 16 cm. The installed components can be clearly seen through the side panel and the case front window, both made of tempered glass. To maximize the view of all components, Sharkoon has turned its usual interior configuration on its head by placing the power supply tunnel in the top of the case. Thus, not only does the power supply fan become more visible, but also the view of all the other components are enhanced.
The NIGHT SHARK is optimized for liquid cooling. The removable HDD/SDD mounting plate in the inner side panel has special extra-long slots for the easy installation of liquid cooling reservoirs. A 240 mm or a 280 mm radiator can fit comfortably on the case front, and a 360 mm radiator can be installed on the bottom panel. A total of eight 120 mm fans, with removed HDD/SDD mounting plate, can be installed for those who prefer “classic” cooling. Instead of two 120 mm fans, two 140 mm fans can be mounted in the front of the case.
For a personalized airflow, the case is available in four different versions. The NIGHT SHARK Lite comes completely without any fans. The NIGHT SHARK Blue and the NIGHT SHARK Red have two pre-installed 120-mm LED fans in blue or red behind the front panel as well as a 120 mm blue or red LED fan on the back of the case. The NIGHT SHARK RGB also has three pre-installed 120 mm fans, two at the front and one at the back, each with addressable LED RGB rings. For controlling the LED fans, the NIGHT SHARK RGB has a pre-installed RGB hub on board. This can be used either with the mainboard software and digital RGB controller or manually via the reset button on top of the case. With older mainboards, the manual control allows the user to choose from fourteen preset lighting effects. Control via the mainboard software allows for an illumination within a range of 16.8 million colors.
The Sharkoon NIGHT SHARK is now available in a Lite version. Also available are the NIGHT SHARK Blue version and Red version and the NIGHT SHARK RGB.
Sharkoon has extended its range of gaming keyboards and introduces the SKILLER SGK4: a rubber dome keyboard with real n-key rollover support and segmented RGB background illumination, which can be adjusted within six zones. Different colors and lighting effects can be selected using the four dedicated illumination keys. The illumination can also be customized via the SGK4 software for Windows - whether for effects, frequency, direction, color or brightness.
Within the software, individual keys can be reassigned with new commands or with configurable macros. In addition, key response times, the behavior of the Windows key, and the polling rate (up to 1,000 Hz) are also customizable. All modifications can be saved in the keyboard memory in any one of four game profiles. The profiles can also be selected, via dedicated keys, during the game. Additional game profiles can be saved on the PC and, through the software, can then be loaded and stored in the onboard memory of the keyboard.
To enable quick access, the SKILLER SGK4 also features a total of twelve function keys with preset multimedia actions.

With the SKILLER SGH3, Sharkoon introduces the most versatile stereo headset of the SKILLER series. The Hi-Fi capable 53 mm drivers promise a forceful sound which can be adjusted according to personal preferences via the external USB sound card. The sound card incorporates a hardware equalizer and is supplied with the headset. The straightforward design, detachable microphone and modular cable connections should also make the headset attractive for mobile use.
The Sharkoon SKILLER SGH3 stereo gaming headset presents a design in matt black which aims to be both classic and modern. The typical characteristics of the SKILLER series can be found via the glossy black logo on the ear pads and the design of the metal head frame, which is presented in the color dark titanium. The circumaural form and generous padding of the ear pads should both effectively dampen ambient noise and provide comfortable wear of the headset. In addition, the padded headband can adjust to the user’s head thanks to its flexibility and spring-loaded suspension. This should guarantee both stability and optimal comfort.
With its 53 mm drivers, the SKILLER SGH3 aims to impress with a sound in which bass has the emphasis. If other tones are desired, the sound can be modified at any time using the external USB sound card with its hardware equalizer.

Alternatively, with software, three virtual surround modes can be activated, balanced for music, gaming or film. For voice chats, the SKILLER SGH3 has a flexible omnidirectional microphone with pop filter. The microphone can be easily detached, allowing for the mobile use as headphones.
The SKILLER SGH3 is connected via the integrated cable, with its TRRS stereo jack, to smartphones, PS4 and the Xbox One Controller as well as notebooks and ultrabooks. The cable has a length of 110 cm for mobile use. The included extension gives a total cable length of 260 cm and has two stereo jacks, enabling the headset to be used with conventional PCs.

In conjunction with the continuing RGB trend, Sharkoon introduces the Pacelight RGB Illumination Set. The set provides the fundamentals for the customized illumination of PC cases. The center-piece of the set is the Pacelight P1 RGB LED controller, which allows the control of up to eight LED components in up to 16.8 million colors. Likewise, up to four fans (with three-pin mainboard connectors) can be controlled via the intuitive software. In addition to the controller, the set gets you started with two included Pacelight F1 120 mm RGB fans and two Pacelight S1 RGB LED light strips.
The Pacelight P1 RGB LED controller is connected to the power supply unit via a SATA power cable and plugged to the mainboard via a nine-pin USB connector. Up to eight LED components with 12 V GRB connections and up to four fans (with three-pin connectors) can then be connected and controlled. For installation inside the case, the P1 has a protective silicon underlay with an adhesive surface. Alternatively, the controller can be attached with cable ties using the provided slots.
The connected fans and strips are controlled using the corresponding software. With this, the LED components can be separately customized within the full RGB spectrum and be individually provided with switchable lighting effects. In addition, the illumination can be set to automatically change according to the day of the week or to the currently active program. It can also be set to dim at a chosen time of the day. Connected fans can be easily checked for compatibility and can be adjusted within the full rpm range. A customized illumination can also be set to indicate a fan failure, should this occur.
The Pacelight F1 RGB fans were especially developed for the P1 and promise a maximum airflow of 93.22 m3/h at 23 dB(A) and 1,400 rpm. Six LEDs in the center should provide an even lighting also at full speed. The Pacelight S1 RGB LED strips each have 18 splash-proof 5050 RGB LEDs along a length of 360 mm. Because of their flexibility and width of just 10 mm, the strips can also find a hold in narrow spaces – either magnetically or by using the adhesive surface.
The Sharkoon Pacelight RGB illumination set – including the Pacelight P1 RGB LED controller, two Pacelight F1 120 mm RGB fans as well as two Pacelight S1 RGB LED strips - is now available. The Pacelight RGB fan F1 as well as the Pacelight RGB LED strip S1 are also available separately.
Sharkoon has broadened its range of gaming seats and introduces, with the SKILLER SGS4, a model that not only has the convenient functions of the SKILLER SGS3 but also offers expanded seating comfort. An improved steel frame construction is the basis of a 150 kg load capacity. Thanks to an enlarged seat cushion and backrest, the manufacturer recommends a maximum user height of 200 cm.
The Sharkoon SKILLER SGS4 has been kept in a black look. However, versions with color accents in red, green or blue are also available as well as a version in black and white. The supplied head and lumbar cushions match the color accents of the seats. The cushions can be easily attached and support the neck and spine during longer gaming sessions. The textile covers of the cushions can be simply removed and washed at 30° C.
Due to the enlarged seat cushion and backrest, more sizeable seating comfort can be offered compared to previous models. The required stability has been achieved by means of the improved steel frame construction with a consistent diameter of 22 mm. Additional stability is provided by the solid five-star base made of aluminium as well as the extra-large 75 mm wheels. These guarantee mobility on all even floors and can be blocked using the practical wheel locks.
Seating comfort is provided by a supportive foam padding (with a density specified at 70kg/ m3) in the seat cushion and backrest. In addition, the synthetic leather in these areas is perforated and breathable. An ergonomic seating posture is supported by the 4D armrests, which can be adjusted for any arm length, to the desired height or width, or to a specific horizontal angle. The stable Class-4 gas lift piston provides the optimum seat height. For relaxation, even during the game, the advanced suspension and tilt control system can be used. This allows the seat to be tilted and rocked, which, using the tilt angle lock, can be locked into a position from 0° to 14°. During extended breaks, the backrest invites the gamer to relax at a wide lockable angle between 90° and 160°.
The Sharkoon SKILLER SGS4 gaming seat is now available in five color versions.

Sharkoon expands their range of flat, mechanical keyboards and introduces with the PureWriter, a low-profile keyboard with number block and dedicated multimedia keys. Recently released was the Sharkoon PureWriter TKL, the little brother in 2-block layout. Like with the TKL version, Sharkoon again uses flat, mechanical switches from the company Kailh. The Sharkoon PureWriter, in a 3-block layout, is now available with either red or blue switches.
With the PureWriter, Sharkoon now presents a flat, mechanical keyboard for lovers of the number block. It also offers separate multimedia keys for volume control, play/pause or to simply launch the preferred media player. The PureWriter is large at 436 mm long and 127 mm wide, and again frameless, compact and flat. The aluminium alloy top cover improves the stability of the keyboard. Technically, the keyboard is equipped with n-key rollover, anti-ghosting keys and a polling rate of 1,000 Hz, making it state of the art.
The new PG1350 series switches from Kailh made the flat construction of the Sharkoon PureWriter TKL a possibility. The same switches are used again in the PureWriter, or rather, the 3-block layout version: The Sharkoon PureWriter Blue offers an acoustic, tactile switch with a detectable switching point. The distance to actuation point is 1.5 mm while the operating force is 55 grams. The Sharkoon PureWriter Red offers a linear switch, undetectable switching point and click point, operating force of 45 grams and 1.5 mm distance to actuation point. Both versions have a keycap height of 6.2 mm and the keys have a minimum operating life cycle of 50 million keystrokes.
The blue LED illumination is infinitely adjustable and offers a multitude of pre-programmed lighting effects. Customized lighting can be programmed on-the-fly and saved in five profiles, for example individual lighting of single keys. All settings are made directly on the keyboard; therefore, software is not necessary and thus not included in delivery. The PureWriter connects via one of the two included USB cables, each with a gold-plated micro-B and type A plug. The 50 cm long cable is perfect to connect the keyboard with notebooks; the 150 cm long cable is suitable for conventional PCs. The PureWriter is compatible with Windows 7/8/10. With an OTG adapter, Android devices, such as smartphones and tablets, can also be used.

Typical for the SKILLER MECH, the SGK2 has a reinforced metal surface, providing stability and torsion strength, and ensures stable, nonslip positioning on every table surface thanks its fold out, rubberized feet on the keyboard bottom.
As with all mechanical keyboards by Sharkoon, the SKILLER MECH SGK2 again relies on the tried and tested switches from Kailh, the micro-switch specialist from Asia. Users have the classic choice between blue, brown and red switches. The tactile blue switches are known to provide acoustic and detectable feedback. For those not needing click noise will enjoy the brown switches, which have a detectable switching point but no acoustic feedback. The red switches offer an undetectable switching point and click point. All three, however, offer the same operating force of 50 grams and a distance to actuation point of 1.9 mm. The operating life cycle of the built-in mechanical keys, according to the manufacturer, is at least 50 million keystrokes.
In addition to n-key rollover, anti-ghosting keys, gaming modes and function keys with preset multimedia actions, this gaming keyboard offers practical on-the-fly macro recording. This means macros can be recorded without software, by using a record key, in just a couple quick steps. Using the five macro keys on the side of the keyboard, the recorded macros can be easily launched at any time. Once again, just like in 2016 with the launch of the SKILLER MECH SGK1, each respective switch offers white LED illumination with an LED on every single key. The lighting is adjustable in three brightness levels, plus also offers a pulsating mode or completely turn off the keyboard illumination. The Sharkoon SKILLER MECH SGK2 connects via a textile braided cable with gold-plated USB plug.

In 2011, Sharkoon introduced an ATX case at a competitive price with the Vaya model. Now, with the Vaya II Midi ATX PC case, the manufacturer presents the revised successor to the popular case.
Like its predecessor, the Vaya II offers various features at a fair price-performance ratio. The new version, with the dimensions of 470 x 205 x 437 mm (L x W x H), is available in the colors black and gunmetal (Value Version). The interior has a black finish. Thanks to the provided side panels, the Vaya II offers more room for easy installation of tower coolers with a maximum height of up to 16.5 cm. Graphics cards with a length of up to 26.5 cm also have room. Maximum length for a power supply is 28 cm, which can be installed on the case floor, which includes a pre-installed dust filter. For cooling, a blue 120 mm LED fan with a mesh look is already pre-installed. Optionally, an 80 mm or 120 mm fan can be installed in the back panel. In addition, the Vaya II offers installation openings for CPU coolers, three openings for water cooling as well as a cable management system.
The Vaya II also features four 5.25” drive bays for optical drives and an externally accessible 3.5” drive bay. Internally, four 3.5” hard drives can be mounted. Additionally, a 2.5” SSD/HDD can be installed on the case floor. Both the locking of optical drives and hard drives occur through our quick fasteners.
The Value Version of the Vaya II provides two USB 3.0 (internal 19-pin mainboard connector) as well as two audio ports on the front, an acrylic side panel and available in the colors black and gunmetal for the suggested retail price of 34.99 euros.

Sharkoon expands its range of products for computer enthusiasts and introduces the Shark Blades fan series in four different color variations. The 120 mm silent fan, measuring 120 x 120 x 25 mm (L x W x H), has a fan speed of 1000 revolutions per minute, with a maximum flow rate of 56 m³/h. The Shark Blades are equipped with a quiet 12 volt motor with a durable hydrodynamic bearing, which is designed for an average life span of up to 50,000 hours.
Special fan blades in the shark fin design not only provide an interesting 3D effect during fan use, but also stable airflow with reduced air resistance, thus preventing turbulence. Also, the fan blades are arranged precisely on the wheel, in order to prevent the slightest bit of vibration.
Delivery includes a set of rubber bolts for decoupled and screwless installation. The fan is connected via the 50 cm long, textile-coated cable, with 3-pin plug for a temperature-sensitive control of the mainboard. Also included is a power supply adapter (3-pin to 4-pin power connector) and screws. The Shark Blades are available in the colors black/yellow, black/red, black/blue and black/green.
A novel construction allows the installation of a 120 mm or 240 mm water cooling radiator in the top of the case. Thus, the midi tower is well prepared for space-saving installation of high-performance water cooling systems.
Externally, the 6 kg case differs only slightly from the well-known REX series, the internal structure, however, was completely revised. Only micro-ATX mainboards can be installed, thus, the Rex Water Cooling Edition wins additional mounting space for large radiators.
For the alternative installation of an air cooler, thankfully nothing will stand in the way of a tower cooler with a width up to 205 mm and a maximum height up to 165 mm. A tinted acrylic window provides insight into the housing interior and the installed components. Order is ensured through a cable management system.
The Rex Water Cooling Edition has, unlike traditional mATX cases, five slots for expansion cards. Up to two dual-slot graphics cards with a maximum length of up to 40 cm can be installed. The front bezel is mesh. Located behind it are two 120 mm Low Noise blue LED fans. An additional 120 mm LED fan is preinstalled on the back of the case. Optical drives can be installed without screws in the two available 5.25" drive bays. Furthermore, up to three 3.5" hard drives or 2.5" hard drives/SSDs can be mounted in the HDD rack system. A panel containing a mounting frame for card readers is also included. The case offers a total of six USB ports in the front panel: two USB ports on the top and four USB 2.0 ports in the front. Headsets and speakers can be comfortably connected via the two audio connections.

The headset provides rich sound due to its high quality workmanship and thanks to the 53 millimeter premium speakers.
The lightweight, 325 gram GSone was specifically designed to meet the requirements of PC gamers. The ergonomic design, sturdy yet lightweight material characteristics and the padded, individually adjustable headband of the GSone ensures a good fit on a variety of different head shapes. The ear pads are circumaural in design and feature extra-large cushions. This results in less outside noise being perceived, while enhancing the overall wearing comfort. The gamer can thus concentrate on their game or communicating with their team. The volume can be easily adjusted by use of a dial on the right ear cup.
The flexible and robust microphone is especially designed for voice applications such as, for example, TeamSpeak. The microphone self-mutes by simply folding up the microphone arm (Tilt-up Mute). The Sharkoon GSone connects through a 250 cm long, textile-sheathed cable with two 3.5 millimeter stereo jack, for the headphones and microphone, respectively.

The cases are nearly identical and differ mainly in just the optics.
True to the motto "Save on space - not on possibilities!" the cases in the series provide, despite their compact size of 415 x 185 x 360 millimeters, space for up to eight hard drives/SSDs, which can be decoupled installed. In addition, graphics cards up to 340 millimeters in length as well as CPU coolers with a maximum height of 165 millimeters can be installed. The cases contain two 5.25" drive bays and a 3.5" drive bay. Pre-installed is also a Sharkoon BayExtension. Through this special installation frame up to four additional Solid State Disks can be attached. Two pre-installed fans, a 140 mm fan in the front and a 120 mm in the rear of the case ensure continuous air flow. Removable dust filters are located on the front and lower ventilation openings. In the versions without a window, an optional fan on the side panel can be installed.
On all the cases the front I/O offers two USB 3.0, two USB 2.0 and two audio ports. The two USB 3.0 ports are connected via a 19-pin mainboard connector and also provide an alternative USB 2.0 connector, ensuring backward compatibility with older mainboards. The front panel design of the series is completely cable-free. The panels can be removed at any time, without having to detach any cables. This simplifies the installation of external 5.25" or 3.5" drives. Optical drives are mounted with quick-release fasteners, or optionally screwed in.
The biggest difference between the four mini towers is their various designs. The MA-A1000 with its closed front comes in pure Alu-optic. The MA-I1000 is equipped with vents, behind which a blue 140 mm LED fan is installed. For lovers of classic mesh design, the MA-M1000 with its blue LED fan is recommended. Also with a mesh front and blue illumination is the MA-W1000, which has an Alu-optic finish in the front and fitted with an acrylic side panel.

Sharkoon is expanding their “QuickPort” product line. In addition to their popular external docking stations for unobstructed hard drives, the accessory specialist has maintained an assortment of removable, internal SATA hard drive frames known as the “QuickPort Internal” series.
With the Sharkoon SATA QuickPort Intern Multi, Sharkoon now presents a 2-in-1 model, in which two SATA hard drives can operate with a different form factor concurrently: The Sharkoon SATA QuickPort Intern Multi fits into a 5.25 inch bay and offers two separate trays for either a hard drive or SSD in 2.5 inch format, and 3.5 inch SATA hard drives. Both bays possess their own single SATA host connection, therefore the inserted hard drives work independently from each other. Thanks to the fast-swap mechanism, the disk can be replaced easily during operation. Power can be controlled by using the On/Off switch on the faceplate.
As an additional feature, the mounting frame readily provides two USB3.0 front ports. The two interfaces are provided with a 19-pin connector cable for mainboards with an internal USB3.0 pin header.
The drive drawer is mounted into the case with decoupled rubber pads. Two SATA data cables for connection to the mainboard are included in shipping, also included is the required power supply for the SATA power adapter. The Sharkoon SATA QuickPort Intern Multi supports SATA standards I to III, and thus transfer rates up to 6 GB/s.
CeBIT 2012 for Sharkoon is all about Gaming: The accessory specialist presents a new lineup of mice, mouse pads and keyboards for PC Gamers.
The flagship under the new input devices is the Sharkoon DarkGlider Mouse. Under a matte black rubberized surface and grip, the latest version of the Avago ADNS-9500 laser sensor operates at up to 6,000 DPI resolution and 11,750 FPS frame rate. Mouse movements with acceleration up to 30G are transmitted without loss and without delay; the key response time is one millisecond. A bright red LCD display indicates the selected DPI rate.

The use of high-quality materials is noticeable in the durable ceramic glide feet, the gold-plated USB plug and the textile case of the connector cable.
A flashier design is displayed with the Sharkoon Drakonia Mouse: The surface is provided with a glossy, green dragon scale print. Also the Drakonia waits with Weight Tuning System, Onboard memory, gold-placed USB plus and textile case of the connector cable. The supporting Avago ADNS-9500 sensor provides a sampling rate up to 5,000 DPI, a frame rate up to 11,750 FPS and supports an acceleration force up to 30 G. The functional range includes eleven programmable keys including configuration software.
Also, made for smaller hands, is the Sharkoon Squad Mouse. The ergonomically contoured laser mouse with the compact dimension of 116.5 x 79 x 40 mm (L x W x H) offers six keys, an adjustable sample rate of 1,600 DPI, a rubberized black surface and is equally suitable for both gaming and office application.
As an ideal base for the DarkGlider and the Drakonia, Sharkoon introduces a fabric mouse pad each matching the design motif. The Sharkoon DarkGlider gaming mouse pad and the Sharkoon Drakonia gaming mouse pad are available on a 355 x 255 mm wide, nano-coated precision playing surface, with an anti-slip rubber bottom and double stitching around the border to protect against fraying.
Sharkoon advances the USB3.0 standard even further. Concretely: on the case’s front. The case and accessory specialist presents three front panels with SuperSpeed connections, which can be comfortably accessible to the front of the PC from the mainboard. The series embraces models for the mainboard, which provides USB3.0 externally exclusively on the PC backside, and also for newer mainboards, equipped internally with one or two USB3.0 pin headers. All front panels allow quick and easy installation for a 3.5 inch bay and are equipped with a black front panel.
The Sharkoon USB3.0 Front Panel Model A moves the external USB3.0 port of the mainboard or the extension card from the rear of the PC to the front: The panel provides two USB3.0 ports, which are led out from the USB3.0 Type A Jack to the rear of the case and connected with two external SuperSpeed interfaces. The Models B and C provide an elegant, interior wiring for newer mainboards with 19-pin USB3.0 connectors: Model B provides an internal 19-pin connector cable with two available USB3.0 ports, while Model C provides two internal 19-pin connector cable and four USB3.0 ports.
Also new to the Sharkoon product line: An internal USB3.0 adapter for users who already have a case containing front USB3.0 as well as a mainboard with a 19-pin USB3.0 header. The converter transforms the 19-pin connector into two USB3.0 Type A connectors, so that the Type A front panel cable can be connected to the outside directly to the mainboard without being detoured. The USB3.0 interface also allows it to be internally connected to the mainboard with other PC extensions – slot bezel, card readers and multi-function panel.
Sharkoon presents another series of cases: Available in three color editions, the Sharkoon T28 offers a lot of space especially for hard drive installation, thankfully due to the removable hard drive cage, and also perfect for extra-long graphic cards.
Externally the Sharkoon T28 offers a black body and a rectilinear mesh front design. Power and Reset buttons are elegantly chromed. In regards to the front connectors, Audio In/Out stands ready between three USB2.0 ports and a USB3.0 interface. An acrylic window on the left side panel gives an insight into the interior of the colored mainboard tray. Choose from three color editions: Red, green, and for the first time after numerous customer suggestions, blue. Also, the operating and hard drive LEDs illuminate in the edition color as well as the three pre-installed 120 mm fans. Two fans rotate in the front, the third in the back. All possess a 4-pin power supply and a 3-pin mainboard connector.

Sharkoon is expanding their product line of Gamer cases: The Sharkoon Tauron ATX is characterized in particular by its flexible hard drive assembly, which makes room for extra-long graphic cards when needed. There is also an efficient air flow system and two USB3.0 SuperSpeed ports on top.
The ATX case with mesh front, painted interior and acrylic side window provides three 5.25-inch drive bays for optical drives. One of the bays alternatively supports an external 3.5 inch hard drive. Therefore a total of up to seven hard drives in either 2.5 or 3.5 inch format could be used. All mounting frames come with screw holes for both sizes. With the placement of storage disks, the Sharkoon Tauron grants a high-degree of flexibility thanks to the modular hard drive cages: With the firmly installed front cage for three storage disks sit two additional, removable frames. If necessary, one or both modules can each be mounted behind the front cage – in order to create more room for either the air flow or for one 42 cm long high-end graphics card.
The components installation requires a CPU cooler mounting hole in the mainboard plate and quick-fasteners for the optical drives. The mainboard plate also has feedthroughs for clean cable routing. For water cooling fans the rear side of the case provides four rubberize hose guides. To quiet PC operations, case feet and also screw holes for power supplies and 3.5 inch hard drives are provided with rubber bumpers to guard against audible decoupled mistakes.
The Tauron also brings an efficient air cooling concept. Cool air for the CPU and hard drives is supplied through the two dust filter protected 120 mm LED fans in the front as well as the air intakes on the side. Also, a dust filter is fitted over the air opening for a bottom positioned power supply. The removal of warm air is due to the superb 170 mm fan on the ceiling of the case and a 120 mm fan in the rear. Optionally, an additional fan with either a 120 or 140 mm edge length can be installed on the floor of the case. The pre-installed fans are equipped with a three- and four-pin power supply connector, so that they can be regulated either over the mainboard or over the two pre-installed fan control systems.
The two fan controls are located together with audio ports, power and reset buttons, and two USB2.0 and two USB3.0 ports as a top I/O under a protective lid on the case cover. An adapter will be needed with the internal connection of the two SuperSpeed ports which is included within shipping. The Sharkoon Tauron measures 510 x 205 x 495 mm (L x W x H), weighs 9.5 kg and is available in three different versions to choose from: Red Edition and Green Edition with a black body and interior finish and LED fans in the respective color, and as a White Edition with a white body and blue LED fans.

The power supplies work with active power factor correction techniques and are equipped with security features against electrical surges, short circuits and over-currents plus a power switch. Color accents compliment the design of the cover foil on the frame cover, to include a red connector shell and a red interwoven cable cover.
With “80 PLUS Bronze” certification, we also present new models to the new QP series.
The power supply guarantees to have an efficiency of at least 85 percent at half capacity and at least 82 percent in the range of 20 and 100 percent. The series also includes three models in 400, 500 and 600 Watts and complies with ATX-Norm ATX 12V V2.3. Two separate 12V circuits supply the individual PC components with stable, steady power. The power supplies are equipped with a 20+4 PIN mainboard port, 4+4 PIN CPU port, six SATA ports, two hard drive ports and a Floppy port. For graphic card accommodation, the 400 Watt model provides a 6-pin PCIe port, the 500 and 600 Watt models also come with a 6+2 pin PCIe connector. Cooling occurs on all models through a 120 mm silent fan. The QP power supplies, in anthracite colored case with a blue logo and blue interwoven cable cover, are also equipped with active security features against electrical surges, short circuits and over-currents plus a power switch.
Sharkoon presents the successor to their local network, insertable hard drive docking station with the SATA QuickPort Pro LAN: The Sharkoon SATA QuickPort Pro LAN Giga replaces the existing Fast Ethernet interface with a significantly faster Gigabit Ethernet interface. Through its LAN Port, associated hard drives and other medians can be integrated into a local home or office network.
In addition to the LAN Port and plug-in for SATA hard drives in 2.5 and 3.5 inch format, the Sharkoon SATA QuickPort Pro LAN Giga provides an integrated dual USB2.0 hub and a card reader for SD, SDHC, MMC and MS cards. The USB hub and card reader are connected via USB to a computer or laptop, with hard drives also being connected alternatively via the eSATA interface.
In order to ensure that all inserted SATA hard drives, memory cards and USB devices within the QuickPort are available to all users of a local network, the docking station must be connected to the network with the corresponding software installed on all computers involved. The individual user can add the device to their computer through the Software menu. If a user accesses the device then it is closed to all remaining network users. If another user needs the device, they can simply send the current user a request for release. If needed, the reset button on the backside allows the USB server to be restarted.
Like the previous QuickPort models, the Sharkoon SATA QuickPort Pro LAN Giga is equipped with a hard drive ejection button and LEDs indicating power supply and disk activity. The adapter measures 133 x 71 x 95 mm (W x H x L), weighs 545 grams and includes an instruction manual with Tool CD, power supply, patch cable, USB cable and eSATA cable.
Sharkoon introduces two micro-ATX cases, which despite its compact form factor, can contain graphic cards up to 36 cm in length: The Sharkoon MS120 mATX and the Sharkoon 140 mATX are especially aimed at gamers who are looking for a handy companion at LAN parties and at the same time not wanting to miss out on extra-long graphics power.
The two black finished cases differ in their front fan configurations: The MS120 is equipped with two blue illuminating 120 mm front fans behind a mesh insert. The MS140 instead features a blue illuminating 140 mm front fan. The MS120 is a little taller at 375 mm than the MS140 at 368 mm.
In addition, the functionality of both is the same: Both cases contain auxiliary audio and three USB2.0 ports, and a SuperSpeed USB3.0 port on the front of the I/O panel. Inside contains an optical drive, an externally accessible 3.5 inch drive and four extension card slots, and up to four 3.5 inch hard drives or up to six 2.5 inch hard drives or SSDs. The data mediums are inserted lengthwise within the two suspended mounting panels. On both panels, either two 3.5 inch hard drives can be decoupled installed or three 2.5 inch drives can be firmly attached. If necessary, one of the two panels can be removed to make room for the up to 36 cm long graphic card; thus comfortably accommodating high-end models, such as the Nvidias GeForce GTX590 or AMDs Radeon 6990. As a trade-off for the removable panel, an additional hard drive bracket is added to the base area.
Despite its compact design, efficient cooling of the housing is ensured: The airflow through the pre-installed front fan is supported through the air intake on the side panel. By surrendering the supported PCIe-Slot on the mainboard for a graphic card cooler, a filter-protected 120mm fan can be mounted to the base of the case. Additionally, a fixture to mount an 80 or 92mm fan is located in the rear. The case measures 420 x 175 x 375 (MS120) or 368 (MS140) millimeters, the empty weight is 4 kg.
In July, Sharkoon presented a competitive priced ATX case with the introduction of the 25 euro Sharkoon Vaya model. Now a Value Edition with a USB3.0 interface and side window is provided.
The Value Edition replaces one of the two USB2.0 ports on the standard design with a SuperSpeed USB3.0 interface. In lieu of the side air intake with pre-drilled air holes, the Value Edition offers a large acrylic side window, allowing insight into the PC while the internal illumination is benefiting operation. Sharkoon offers the Value Edition in two color versions: a black case with red LED front fan, and a white case with blue LED front fan.
The other specifications match the Standard design: The ATX case, with black exterior and interior finish, offers room for four 5.25” hard drives, four internal 3.5” hard drives, an external 3.5” hard drive and seven extension cards. The cooling capacity of the pre-installed, red illuminating 120 mm fan on the front panel can be further supported by installing an 80, 92 or 120 mm fan to the backside. Optical drives and hard drives are secured with the practical quick-locking clamps; the main board tray is equipped with a cooler mount opening and cable feedthrough.

Sharkoon presents an anti-vibration frame for case fans that attaches itself with magnets. The Sharkoon Anti-Vibe Magnetic isolates fans from the wall of the case and prevents transmission of vibrations to the case. In this way the frame dampens annoying operational sounds and lengthens the life of the fan.
Installing the Anti-Vibe Magnetic is quick and easy. The frame is approximately three centimetres wide and made from flexible rubber so that it fits perfectly over the plastic fan frame. Hidden in the corners of the frame are eight enclosed magnets, allowing users to install the fan without screws and even in places without pre-drilled screw holes. The magnets in the Anti-Vibe Magnetic are much too weak to cause any memory malfunctions, but for safety reasons should not be placed directly on top of hard drives. Even users of non-magnetic aluminium cases can use the frames due to the screw holes in the rubber frames. Sharkoon offers the Anti-Vibe Magnetic in two sizes for 80mm and 120mm fans.
End users will find the Sharkoon Anti-Vibe Magnetic available immediately for the suggested retail price at authorised retailers.

SolidStateDisks (SSDs) are all the rage these days. The robust flash based hard drives offer many advantages to typical magnetic storage solutions. Silent operation, minimal electricity requirements, almost no heat build-up and fast read/write rates. Because of their high resistance to shock and impact damage, SSDs are especially suited for mobile computers. Disadvantages include their high price and relatively low capacity—at this time capacities greater than 128GB are hard to find.
Sharkoon is now introducing an alternative that allows users to build a Notebook SSD themselves. The Sharkoon Flexi-Drive S2S is an SSD adaptor with the size and connections of a 2.5 inch SATA hard drive. The necessary flash memory is provided by the up to six SDHC cards that can be installed in the enclosure. Users can select the manufacturer, number, chip type (SLC or MLC) and capacity of the memory cards according to their needs. As the installed memory cards use Raid-0, the performance and capacity of all installed cards should be the same. At this time the maximum available SDHC capacity is 32GB, allowing for a maximum of 192GB to be installed in the Flexi-Drive S2S. Testing with HD-Tune, six 8GB SDHC memory cards with Class 6 speed ratings had a read speed of 140 MB/s and a write speed of 115 MB/s.
End customers will find the Sharkoon Flexi-Drive S2S available immediately from authorized retailers for the suggested retail price of 79 euros.
For more information regarding the Sharkoon Flexi-Drive S2S or other Sharkoon products, to request photos or other informational material, please contact us or go to www.sharkoon.com.

Sharkoon has given the new Flexi-Drive XC a facelift: the variable USB stick and card reader combination device now has an even more practical design and a faster data transfer rate. The Sharkoon Flexi-Drive XC+ functions simultaneously as a card reader and as a USB stick. The two-in-one data medium reads and writes in Secure Digital and Multi Media Card formats as well as miniSD, microSD, MMCmicro, and MMCmobile formats with the use of an additional adapter. When connected to the PC as a card reader, the Flexi-Drive XC+ allows different cards to be inserted and used without having to reboot. By inserting a memory card, it is transformed into a USB stick with read and write access. The memory capacity can be varied arbitrarily according to which flash card is used.
The Sharkoon Flexi-Drive XC+ measures 70 x 28.7 x 12 mm (w x h x d), making it even smaller than its predecessor. Thanks to the new protective cover built into the translucent gray housing, inserting flash cards is reliably easy. A carrying strap connected to the housing prevents the protective cap covering the USB connector from being lost, and the mini-carabiner hook on the end can be used to attach the card reader to a key ring, for example.
The device supports USB 2.0 with a transfer rate of 480 MBit/s. The data transfer rate for SD format cards can reach up to 18.5 MB/s and 11 MB/s for MMC format cards. Under Windows ME/2000/XP and Mac OS.9 and OS.X the Flexi-Drive functions using Plug&Play. Drivers for Win98SE are available for download at www.sharkoon.com. An instructional booklet is included in delivery.
