Mad Catz announces the B.A.T. 6+ Gaming Mouse

High performance, hyper-responsive DAKOTA switch, diversified accessories, and aggressiveness in aesthetics

Kowloon, Hong Kong – Jan 11, 2021 – Mad Catz Global Limited, the leading innovators in gaming hardware, are excited to announce a new gaming mouse, the B.A.T. 6+. Combining the elements of fast and powerful design, the truly ambidextrous gaming mouse offers the ultimate customizability and comfort, allowing every gamer to swap the side skirts and palm rests at will under each circumstance. Equipped with a high-end 16K DPI sensor and the 2ms response time of the DAKOTA™ switch, B.A.T. 6+ makes you become the mobile armory.

B.A.T. 6+’s design cues were inspired by spaceships, hypercars, and batmobiles. The side vents design was obtained from the speediest hypercar. This design prevents the gamer’s hands from overheating during long hours of play. The B.A.T. 6+’s various sizes of swappable backplates and side skirts are all expertly engineered to accommodate grip, claw, or finger-tip styles of play, allowing for a personalized gaming experience that adapts seamlessly to different gaming situations.

B.A.T. 6+ is the first gaming mouse to implement the Mad Catz Cyborg Engine. The Cyborg Engine is designed to have less impact on your gaming mouse while handling all of your important game settings. The software aims at combining your complex setup into an extension of the game with one integration while giving vivid lighting effects throughout the mouse chassis.

B.A.T. 6+ also features the Mad Catz DAKOTA™ mechanical switch. The DAKOTA™ Mechanical Switch adopts a new signal detection technology, enabling an instant response to be made by any of two contact points. This technology precisely processes signal registration and accelerates the switch’s response time to within only 2 milliseconds – 60% faster than other mechanical switches!

Empowered by the Pixart PMW 3389 optical sensor, the B.A.T. 6+ will be able to detect all of your adversaries in every step that they take, giving you critical strikes with incredible levels of accuracy. The 10 programmable button layout is specially designed to help you to become accustomed to different games. With up to 5 storage profiles, you can have the best optimization available for your current gameplay with just a click through the software.

The Mad Catz R.A.T. B.A.T. 6+ will be shipping from late February 2021. Availability may vary by region. For more on availability and pricing in each territory, please contact Mad Catz or the PR contacts below.

LG TO REINFORCE INDUSTRY DOMINANCE WITH ULTIMATE TV TECHNOLOGY

Premium LG TVs upgraded with new OLED panel, advanced LCD panel structure, enhanced processor and UX offering even more screen sizes for 2021

SEOUL, Jan. 11, 2021 — LG Electronics (LG) is setting the standard for the TV industry once again with its most impressive premium TV lineup yet, featuring OLED, QNED Mini LED and NanoCell TVs. A CES^® 2021 Best of Innovation Award winner (model 48C1) as well as several Innovation Award honorees¹ the flagship LG TV lineup has been upgraded inside and out with technology and features such as a new OLED panel, new advanced LCD panel structure that combines Quantum NanoCell colour technology with mini LED backlighting for improved colour accuracy and greater contrast, upgraded AI processor, and a redesigned webOS as well as a stunning new look for 2021.

The 2021 LG OLED TV lineup represents the company’s most comprehensive range of OLED TVs to date with exciting new models that come in additional sizes in 2021 and build on the company’s legacy of advanced picture quality. The newest LG G1 series features OLED evo, the next step in the evolution of LG OLED TV technology that delivers better luminosity for improved brightness and clear, realistic images with amazing detail.

And when it comes to the ultimate viewing experience with OLED, LG is offering consumers more choices than ever before. The LG C1 series boasts a diverse range of size options from the 48-inch version favoured by gamers to the new 83-inch model which will have friends inviting themselves over for movie night. What’s more, the new Gallery Stand ² is an attractive alternative to the sleek, flush-to-the-wall Gallery Design mount for those who desire more flexibility in their interior planning.

The latest LG intelligent processor, the α (Alpha) 9 Gen 4 AI, revamps the performance on the newest LG OLED TV models in the Z1, G1 and C1 series, LG QNED Mini LED TV models QNED99 and QNED95 and LG NanoCell TV models NANO99 and NANO95. The processor leverages deep learning to enhance upscaling, making lower quality content look amazing on the large, self-emissive displays. The LG processor features AI Picture Pro, which recognises onscreen objects such as faces and bodies ³ and distinguishes between foregrounds and backgrounds, processing each object independently to make images look three-dimensional. With its ability to detect content genre, the α9 Gen 4 processor further optimises picture quality, amount of light in scenes and ambient conditions in various viewing environments.

Moreover, the processor incorporates a new version of LG AI Sound Pro, which boasts two major additions for 2021. Virtual 5.1.2 surround sound up-mixing delivers an incredibly immersive audio experience via the TV’s built-in speakers, while Auto Volume Levelling helps ensure a consistent volume when switching between channels or streaming apps, a solution to a problem that has long annoyed TV viewers.

The latest LG TVs offer an intuitive user experience thanks to the company’s updated webOS 6.0 smart TV platform. With a completely redesigned New Home screen as well as performance and feature improvements, webOS 6.0 provides faster access to apps and a simple content discovery capability with even more personalised recommendations. Paired with an improved Magic Remote that includes hot keys for popular content providers, the new LG webOS offers users the ability to easily control and navigate the next-generation LG TVs and the growing webOS ecosystem.

Acknowledged by consumers, tech experts and some well-known names in the film industry as the best displays around, LG OLED TVs continue to raise the bar for image quality. With the company’s self-lit pixel technology, the panels featured in the 2021 lineup offer perfect blacks and have been certified as having 100 percent colour fidelity by the global product testing agency Intertek. ⁴ In addition to outstanding colour and contrast, LG TVs offer support for Dolby Vision IQ and Dolby Atmos^®, delivering a premium viewing experience.

The 2021 LG OLED TVs are equipped with new features such as Game Optimiser along with a one millisecond response time, low input lag and four ports supporting the latest HDMI specifications. ⁵ Not only does it allow users the ability to access all game-related settings in one convenient place, Game Optimiser, featured on all LG 2021 webOS TVs including QNED Mini LED and NanoCell TVs, automatically applies the best suited picture settings according to the type of the game being played, whether it is a first-person shooter, role-playing or real-time strategy title. For exhilarating big-screen gaming with stutter- and tear-free images, LG OLED TVs are G-SYNC^® Compatible, FreeSync™ Premium supported and feature variable refresh rate (VRR),⁶ all of which can be managed within the Game Optimiser.

What’s more, LG has expanded the number of TV models that will support HDMI 2.1 specifications in 2021, with enhanced audio return channel (eARC) and automatic low latency mode (ALLM) supported across the full lineup. LG QNED90 Mini LED, NANO90 and NANO85 NanoCell TVs will also support variable refresh rate (VRR) for a premium experience for those who love gaming.

The panels employed in the 2021 OLED TV lineup have been certified by Swiss-based Societe Generale de Surveillance (SGS) as having minimal environmental impact, emitting negligible air pollutants, using less hazardous substances and being highly recyclable.

LG OLED TVs are also easy on the eye without compromising picture quality. In addition to the low blue light recognition from TÜV Rheinland and flicker-free certification from Underwriters Laboratories, LG OLED TVs employ the world’s first Eyesafe-certified TV panels that meet the low blue light emission requirement of Eyesafe, a U.S.-based health standards agency.

Designed to pair perfectly with the new OLED TV models, the latest LG sound bars are another demonstration of the company’s environmentally conscious approach to product design. The exterior of the sound bars are made from recycled materials while the packaging is designed to protect without the use of expanded polystyrene foam blocks.

“Our commitment to raising the industry bar and increasing value for consumers are both clearly evident in the 2021 LG OLED TV lineup,” said Park Hyoung-sei, president of the LG Home Entertainment Company. “Featuring LG OLED evo, our most advanced panel technology yet, our newest OLED TVs are in a league of their own, delivering another level of viewing experience we feel confident in saying is second to none.”

The 2021 LG TV lineup including self-lit LG OLED TVs, new premium LG QNED Mini LED TVs and more immersive NanoCell TVs with ultra-large screen size options will be on display in LG’s virtual exhibition booth during CES 2021 starting January 11.

The Oceanhorn story deepens withdungeon crawler couch co-op experience for the whole family

Helsinki, Finland — January 8th, 2021 — Developer Cornfox & Brothers announced today that the first new excursion deeper into the lore of the Oceanhorn Universe, Oceanhorn: Chronos Dungeon, is now available on Apple Arcade℠ for iPhone®, iPad® and Apple TV®. An instantly-familiar Oceanhorn side-adventure for up to 4 players in local multiplayer, Chronos Dungeon is a 16-bit-style rogue-lite dungeon crawler featuring quick play sessions, inspired by fantasy tabletop games.

Two hundred years have passed since the Catastrophe, and the once powerful Realm of Arcadia lays in ruins – small Arcadian settlements are scattered across islands and floating in between clouds in the Uncharted Seas. The Arcadian knowledge is still highly regarded despite the decimation of most of their creations, but life is difficult under the constant threat from wandering groups of Direfolk, Goblins and Ogres from the Outlands. However hope lives on in a band of adventurers set on a quest to bring peace and order back to their crumbling civilization. On a distant island they discover the entrance to a mythical underground complex called the Chronos Dungeon, deep wherein lies the Paradigm Hourglass – an object so powerful it can alter the course of history and return the world to its former glory.

“We are proud to announce Oceanhorn: Chronos Dungeon as our first foray into the Expanded Oceanhorn Universe, giving a dungeon crawler take on all things Oceanhorn,” said Heikki Repo, Creative Director at Cornfox & Brothers. “While we’ve developed the title to be the best family-friendly dungeon crawler out there, you can expect tons of depth and lore that shed light on what happened in the centuries following the Oceanhorn 2: Knights of the Lost Realm.”

The LG gram models 17Z90P, 16Z90P and 16T90P feature 80Wh high-density batteries to deliver longer periods of use between charges, freeing users from the need to carry a power adapter with them.

Providing a big-screen experience without sacrificing portability, the flagship LG gram 17 boasts a large 17-inch screen while only weighing 1.35kg (2.98lbs). Equally transportable, the new LG gram 16 and 14 tip the scale at just 1.19kg (2.62lbs) and 999g (2.2lbs) respectively and are 1.68cm (0.66 inch) thick. Thanks to the ultra-narrow LG bezels and a hidden hinge design, all three models achieve a screen-to-body ratio (STBR) of 90 per cent.

Both the 16 and 14-inch versions of the new LG gram 2-in-1 deliver ultra-portable convenience thanks to the LG 360-degree hinge and the product’s lightness. The LG gram 2-in-1 comes with a stylus pen compatible with Wacom AES 2.0 to assist with navigation and control for a smooth, precise writing and drawing experience.

“Synonymous with outstanding portability and first-class performance, the LG gram brand continues to raise the bar for the ultra-slim laptop market,” said Jang Ik-hwan, senior vice president and head of the IT business unit of LG Electronics Business Solutions Company. “With sleeker, more refined designs and 16:10 aspect ratio displays while maintaining lightweight, our latest LG gram lineup gives consumers the ability to enjoy better productivity and more immersive viewing experiences wherever they go.”

Visitors to LG’s CES 2021 virtual showroom from January 11-14 will be able to experience first-hand the design, performance and portability of the newest LG gram offerings. Follow other CES announcements from LG on social media using #LGCES2021.
