You are now the owner of a piece of premium gaming equipment, designed with the
utmost attention to performance. When I first started QPAD back in 1992, it was with
one goal in mind. I wanted to create computer gear especially designed for gaming
purposes.

Being a die-hard gamer and computer enthusiast myself, I know just how much it means
to have gear that can stand the heat of battle. Gaming is all about feel, passion and love
of the game.

Over the years, my view on this has not changed, and I am truly proud to say that all of
the products in the QPAD family carry the same legacy: passion for gaming and a true
commitment to the gaming and eSport community.

Thank you for trusting QPAD - see you on the battlefield!

Sincerely
Christer MrMouse Körnbäck
Founder of QPAD

QPAD MK-90

The MK-90 is built with superior quality, durability, well-conceived design and layout. It features an exciting
new RGB LED concept with a multitude of lighting options and a white plate built into a strengthened
keyboard to enhance the clarity and impact of the lighting. The new RGB LED allows gamers to
individualize their experience by choosing any color in the spectrum and displaying them in a variety of
modes. For example, you can choose breathing, trigger, explosion, rainbow, audio beat, wave or random
in any of 16.8 million colors! MK-90's customized, programmable features lets you individually light up
different colors and modes across the entire keyboard, or parts of it. More impressive is the ability to
coordinate the lighting with the beat of your favorite song, lifting the spirit of the game to an even higher
level!

MK-90 has a built in "instant control" functionality allowing you to toggle between different color modes,
add a macro on the fly or change repetition speed. Simply press FN key + plus different key combinations
and take control! The MK-90 comes with gaming grade mechanical switches with unmatched accuracy
and feel. No more pressing with full-force in order to activate the keys. The keyboard will respond to your
every stroke in an instant. MK-90 is designed to last 60 million strokes, built on a steel plate, making it
robust enough to withstand the most serious keyboard abuse. MK-90 also features full N-Key rollover
anti-ghosting technology. (Even if you hit all keys at the same time
they will all register). MK-90 also features pass through audio and
USB ports, enabling you to connect your mouse, headset,memory
sticks or other options. Other features include gold-plated
connectors, removable wrist rest and media keys for easy control of
playback, pause, skip track, etc. MK-90 is designed to give you total
gaming control while giving you the thrill of movement at the
speed of light.

QPAD STORY

We at QPAD build our success on a grass roots commitment to the gaming community.
We thrive in competition and embrace the free spirit of gaming. We provide the gaming
world with premium high-quality equipment, giving eSporters, enthusiasts and casual
gamers all over the world a winning edge.

In an industry dominated by gigantic multi-national corporations, QPAD is a breath of
fresh air. The story of QPAD started in Stockholm, Sweden, back in 1992 when
computer enthusiast and hardcore gamer Christer Kornback founded the company.
The idea Christer had was to produce high-quality mouse pads suitable for gaming. Back
in those days, gamers had no choice but to use standard office-grade mice and mouse
pads.

In 1997, one of the Worlds first eSport events was held in Stockholm; the Swedish
Quake Championships. Christer - being a prominent member of the Swedish online
gaming scene - was asked to produce a custom-sized mouse pad, considerably larger
than the models available at the time. This was the birth of the first piece of premium
eSport equipment designed with only gaming in mind. The mouse pad was the core of
the QPAD product line for years, as the small one-man-business grew in both size and
fame, earning respect amongst eSport athletes, gamers and computer enthusiasts all
over the world.

Now QPAD has widened the product line to also include award-winning gaming-grade
mice, headsets and keyboards. These include the Worlds first mechanical gaming
keyboard offering full NKRO through usb only, (QPAD MK-85) and the first laser gaming
mouse actually usable for professional gaming purposes (QPAD 5K). With the launch of
the QPAD Professional Gaming Headset 1339 the company further consolidated its
place as a leading provider of premium gaming gear. The 1339 headset, based on the
industry-leading technology of Beyerdynamics, is by many gamers considered the best
gaming headset on the market today.

All of the products in the QPAD family carry the same legacy: passion for gaming and a
true commitment to the gaming and eSport community. This is reflected in our
sponsorship of the QTOUR, eSport athletes, communities, cups, tournaments, teams
and LAN parties all over the world.
