Roccat, a German based manufacturer of professional gaming peripherals such as the ROCCAT Isku and the ROCCAT Kone [+], is planning to “fill a void in the crowded US gaming peripherals market”. This of course, begs the question: if it’s crowded, then shouldn’t there be no void?

“Pro gamers in other parts of the world already know what our gear can do,” says René Korte, ROCCAT™ Founder and CEO. “Now’s our chance to share that excitement with American gamers. We’re bringing a bold innovation to the table that sets us far apart from other gaming companies.”

Korte sees ROCCAT™ as a premium brand built around extreme style and hyper-advanced, German-engineered performance.

“Only ROCCAT can deliver on that promise,” Korte says. “Our engineers create the technology and look that today’s sophisticated gamers crave. We can’t wait to team up with US players and strut our stuff.”

ROCCAT™ will make its US debut at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, January 10-13, 2012.
