Introduction

We recently reviewed a couple of products from ROCCATs range and have been impressed with their overall quality and performance.  That said all the products we have reviewed so far have been facing stiff competition from other leading gaming peripheral manufacturers.

Today we are going to look at the ROCCAT Apuri Active USB-hub with mouse bungee that is quite unique in design with few similar devices currently available on the market. It carries a somewhat high price tag compared to the vast majority of standard USB-hubs, however, ROCCAT have built-in some unique features to optimise its appeal to gamers and its gaming performance.
