Are Wicked Bunny Gaming Equipment Worth It?

Published

on

Wicked Bunny is a relatively new company entering the E-sports arena to bring you high quality gaming equipment at an affordable price. Despite the stiff competition from established brands such as Turtlebeach, Razer, and Steelseries, Wicked Bunny sets themselves apart by offering gaming equipment of similar caliber at a slightly discounted price.

Here are some of the latest products from their lineup.

Rapid RGB Gaming Mouse

This right-hand only gaming mouse targets FPS gamer. Coming in at a respectable 16000 dpi, the mouse feels responsive and easy to whip around for those quick 180 no-scope trick shots. We tested this while playing Apex Legends, and it improved our accuracy by quite a bit. The lightweight feel of the mouse helps to reduce drag and friction during reactionary movements where you can’t afford to miss a shot.

The Germany Cherry ZF Cherry switches are loud and satisfying. They’re fairly responsive and able to pick up individual clicks even at 300 actions per minute. This is also useful if you play RTS games such as Starcraft II.

One drawback are the RGB lights. The lights cycle through the color wheel fairly fast and it’s noticeable when it’s just sitting idle on your desk. I wish there was a PC user interface for me to adjust the colors, or just disable them altogether.

Agility RGB Gaming Keyboard

This keyboard rivals some of the best keywords in the industry, especially DasKeyboard. The full aluminum chassis lends a sturdy and reliable feel. It also has a good bit of mass to it and plants firmly onto my desk without the need of any rubber feet or stickers.

Keys are tactile, responsive, and have abundance travel distance. The input seems almost instantaneous. There are several modes you can choose from, each comes with it’s own set of features to help enhance work, productivity, or gaming. Gaming is my favorite and most frequently used preset.

The IP68 water and dust resistant adds to the durability and value to this keyboard. I’m a clumsy gamer and I never buy a gaming keyboard that’s not IP68 resistant. Although not recommended from the manufacturer, you can wash this keyboard with soap and water if it gets too dirty.

The RGB lighting is bright on this keyboard. But the colors are vibrant and gorgeous with no fading or inconsistent brightness typically found in cheaper RGB setup. Unlike the mouse, you can adjust the RGB settings directly on the keyboard.

Several hours of real-world testing proved to be satisfactory. My gaming performance on Apex Legends didn’t improve, but my level of satisfaction for the keyboard did. It’s a quick, tactile, and feature rich keyboard that costs $85, but has the quality and performance of $150+ keyboards.

Proximity HDSS Gaming Headset

No gaming setup is ever complete without a high quality pair of headphones. The Proximity HDSS headphone is equipped with oversized earcups. The earcups are probably offer noise-cancellation by themselves given how much of your ear they cover.

The headset is made from a combination of plastic and aluminum. The chassis has a good flex to it and will likely hold up to a good beating. It fits nicely and comfortable over my head with easy telescopic adjustments.

The sound is fantastic. Bass packs a punch and the headset does a great job separating all the different layers of sound. While gaming, you can audible distinguish the sound of footsteps, raindrops, gunfire, and every little bit of details happening around you. It’s a great headset to use if you want to be fully submerge in the game world.

The microphone was a drawback for me. Testing on Discord and in-game voice chat yielded mixed results. Microphone audio quality doesn’t stack up against their rivals.

Overall, this is a great headset for casual online play, listening to music, and zoom calls. Given the poor microphone performance, I wouldn’t use this in a competitive setting.

Final Verdict

The Agility Keyboard is probably the best value given how responsive and good the keys feel. I would easily recommend this keyboard to anyone playing ranked. The Rapid mouse is a solid no-frills gaming mouse that gets the job done. It’s a bare-bone product with very few features to speak of. The only reason I’d still recommend it is because it performs extraordinarily well in the few things that it promises.

The Headset is my least recommended product, mainly due to their microphone. It’s a solid headset if you’re using it for casual gaming, listening to music, and getting on calls. For competitive gaming, look elsewhere.

I can safely recommend Wicked Bunny after having used their products for a few months. After 3 months of use, all 3 products still hold up perfectly without issues. They’re good products that deliver on both performance, build quality, and value. They’re certainly not the cheapest maker in the space, but they’re one of the safest company to bet your dollars on this holiday season.
