Report from the HATOR stand at #IFA2024 - all the latest news and plans

Our editor visited the IFA 2024 exhibition and captured a lot of exciting content. In this article, I’ll be highlighting the new products from HATOR. Since there were many new items at their booth and limited time, I’ll briefly and concisely cover the most interesting models.

And now – a short list of interesting models:

mice: HATOR Stellar Pro Wireless, Quasar 2 Ultra 4K, Pulsar 3, Pulsar 3 Pro Wireless
keyboards: Gravity TKL and Rockfall 3 Mecha Wireless
headset: Hypergang 3 Wireless headset

And many other models that will form the brand’s assortment for the next year or even longer.

Let me start with what the representatives from HATOR shared with us. All the products they presented are not ODM or rebranded items; they are their own designs offered at reasonable prices for consumers. And given that every time I’ve reviewed HATOR products, I’ve been EXCLUSIVELY satisfied, I believe it. For instance, I consider the microphone quality in their headsets to be among the best in the world.

So don’t expect basic configurations or features that are typical of budget models from this manufacturer. For example, the Rockfall 3 Mecha TKL Wireless comes with HATOR’s proprietary pre-lubed Aurum switches, rated for 70 million presses, and supports quick replacements. It also features pre-lubed stabilizers.

The Rockfall 3 Mecha TKL Wireless features dual-shot PBT keycaps. It has a 1000 Hz polling rate, a 4000 mAh battery, and supports QMK. Additionally, it offers three operating modes: wired, 2.4 GHz wireless, and Bluetooth 5.4. This will be the first keyboard I can recall that supports such a modern data transfer standard, reducing latency in wireless mode to nearly that of wired connections.

Does this also apply to the headset, such as the HATOR Hypergang 3 Wireless? This model features active hybrid noise cancellation, 40 mm neodymium drivers with a PET membrane and separate dynamic chambers, and, importantly, Hi-Res certification. For comfort, it uses protein leather ear cushions and a specialized foam filler optimized to ensure 100% effective noise cancellation even for people who wear glasses.

Bluetooth 5.4? Check. Wired operation? Check. Lag-free performance at 2.4 GHz? Also present, thanks to the proprietary ClearScan technology. The battery is 700 mAh, which isn’t too small, and the Hypergang 3 Wireless also supports full functionality while charging. Frequency response ranges from 10 to 44,000 Hz, it has a detachable microphone, and LDAC support is available!

Another interesting feature is the headset’s support for the HATOR SyncHUB mobile app, which allows you to fully customize the headset to your needs—adjust the equalizer, RGB lighting, and even upload your own voice notifications! We don’t have a link to the app yet, as it is expected to be available in the stores around October. In the future, the app will serve as a central hub for managing and synchronizing all the brand’s peripherals, with the first compatible products being the new headset models.

What can gaming mice offer in comparison to all these impressive features? The HATOR Pulsar 3 Wireless boasts a PixArt 3395 sensor with a resolution of up to 26,000 DPI and features proprietary Optical Yellow switches.

Connection technologies supported include Bluetooth 5.1, USB 3.0, and 2.4 GHz. The polling rate is 1000 Hz. The mouse features RGB lighting, supports proprietary software, and comes with an additional set of PTFE feet. The Pulsar 3 Wireless weighs just 59 grams, adhering to the stringent standards for modern gaming mice.

And let’s not forget the microphones. HATOR offers several models, ranging from the budget-friendly Signify to the more flagship Dreamcast RGB. The Dreamcast RGB features vibrant RGB lighting that streamers love and offers a choice of four different pickup patterns. It connects via Type-C and delivers 24-bit audio, which is quite impressive for a gaming microphone.

The Signify RGB is more budget-friendly but also features RGB lighting and USB connectivity. Its lower price comes from supporting “only” 16-bit audio and a slightly narrower frequency range of 20 to 16,000 Hz, compared to the 30 to 18,000 Hz range of the higher-end model.

That’s all for now! Don’t forget to let us know in the comments which model intrigued you the most. Personally, I’m drawn to the HATOR Hypergang 3 Wireless for its combination of truly progressive consumer features.
