Value -
Value is another very subjective topic. What is expensive to some might be a deal to others. You can look at this topic in multiple ways. One is raw price and the other is what you get for the money. Each is accurate and both are correct ways to look at price/value. We tend to look at features, performance and real-property when we discuss value. However, we also take into account the raw cash cost of the item. Now… you have read me talking about limitations and potential issues with the Devastator for the last few paragraphs, but in light of the price many of these will fall away based on the fact that it still performs very well for its price point. You can get the Devastator combo pack for just $29.99. That is right both the keyboard and mouse are $29.99 at most online stores. That is an amazing price to get this pair in your house especially if you are on a budget and want to spend more money on other hardware.

Conclusion -
In the end the price of the Devastator combo pack is what is going to sell it. The level of performance is just a little behind the feel you get from brown or black mechanical switches plus you get full back lighting and a fairly decent mouse to boot. Again, if you are looking to build a gaming system on a shoe string budget then the CMStorm Devastator combo pack should be on your list as you will only have to drop $30 on it to get it in hand. That is could be as much as $100 if you went for a mechanical keyboard and gaming mouse as separates. If you are looking for top end performance, well the Devastator is probably not going to be the product you will want.
