Your Essential Gaming Headset for PC, Mac and
Mobile Gaming
The Creative SB Inferno was conceived by the design team at Sound Blaster
with a vision – to create an affordable gaming headset that would take
full-advantage of the audio hardware present in the gamers' system.
With decades of audio engineering know-how in our arsenal, the Sound Blaster
engineering team went out and worked directly with top gamers from professional
eSports teams from around the world to define the core elements of a gaming
headset relevant to the era of team-based gaming.
DESIGN
First PERCEIVE… Now REACT and EXECUTE
As games evolve to become faster and fiercer, so do the needs of gamers. Our
audio products have always offered enhanced audio clarity and positional
placement for you to PERCEIVE what's going on but gaming is much more than just
perception.
Whether you are on a race track roaring around corners or fending off hordes
of demons, not only do you need to PERCEIVE what's happening, you also need to
REACT accordingly and EXECUTE your actions reliably, decisively and
accurately.
So we asked ourselves, why stop at just audio?
Today, we give you fresh power at your fingertips. New gear designed just for
you, the gamer, to give you the best P.R.E (Perceive, React and Execute)
experience you've ever known.
HARDWARE
Meet PRES, our professionally customized OMRON switch
Co-designed with OMRON, PRES (Perceive-React-Execute Switches) are custom
mechanical switches professionally developed for high actions per minute gaming
and typing comfort with a centered light guide for a brilliant RGB backlighting
experience. Built for durability and reliability, each switch can withstand over
70 million keystrokes and feature double cross-point technology for fail-safe
contacts.
PRES allows you to reach your full potential, offering quick input action and
instantaneous rapid-fire keystrokes while minimizing typos and mistakes –
giving you the perfect balance of speed and control
25% Faster Response and 12.5% Faster Actions Per Minute
In a world where 1 milisecond is a matter between winning or losing, the
speed of your keyboard response is absolutely crucial. While the default travel
distance of most mechanical keyboards is 2.0mm, the Vanguard K08 is designed
with shorter travel of 1.5mm. This means you only have to depress the keys by
3/4 of the usual distance before a command is fired off, and translating into an
important in-game reaction and execution
With some game mechanics requiring you to mash a button really fast in order
to do maximum damage to a boss or just to pry a door open, Vanguard's PRES with
a total travel depth of 3.5mm, as opposed to the standard 4.0mm, allows you to
fire off more keypresses in the same time.
For example, let's say you mash a single key on a normal keyboard for a
minute, and register 420 keypresses. With the Vanguard, you'd be able to pull
off 48 more keypresses (468 total) in the same amount of time for an
additional 12.5% more hits dealt to a boss or 12.5% more words per minute (if
you're the sort who like creating walls of text).
100% More Reliable
Unlike normal mechanical switches with single connectors, we've partnered
with OMRON to implement cross-point technology for fail-safe contacts in PRES.
With dual connectors in each switch, each PRES is guaranteed to fire off even in
the event of one connector failing due to oxidation or dirt particles. Our
keyboard may just be the first to endure a sandstorm and still be fully
operational.
26-Key Rollover with Anti-Ghosting Technology
Even with 10 fingers and 10 toes, you'll only be able to hit 20 keys at
any one time – and that leaves 6 more to spare! This means we've totally
eliminated all causes of keyboard input lag, jams and ghosting unless you're a
faceroller
