Review: Mad Catz M.O.U.S.9 Wireless Mouse
Posted by Donster on: 2013-05-16 15:01:58 in category: Game Controller News [ Print ]
Reviewed by NikKTech
A nice looking, feature rich and wireless compact mouse is one of the things i always wanted to "marry" with my notebook but to date i haven't been able to find the ideal one. Microsoft and Logitech have released quite a few (some of which with good specifications) but none of those actually peaked my interest (nor caught my eye for that matter), at least not enough for me to actually pack one of them with my primary Toshiba Qosmio notebook. I did consider using the excellent wireless R.A.T.9 by Mad Catz a while ago but its size along with the external battery charging bay were a bit too much for use with a notebook. Well it seems that Mad Catz also thinks the same way as I and so they just launched the M.O.U.S.9 Wireless Bluetooth Mouse which looks a lot like the R.A.T.9 but takes less space, is more battery efficient and is much lighter.

In order to respond to demand from the flight sim community, Thrustmaster is pleased to announce that it will now offer a standalone version of its A-10C attack aircraft flight stick replica.
With the release of the HOTAS Warthog™ Flight Stick, owners of the HOTAS Cougar™ stick and flight sim fans in general will be able to get a taste of the incredibly specific sensations provided by the stick of the A-10C, the U.S. Air Force’s famous attack aircraft. A replica of the plane’s control stick designed by Thrustmaster – creator of the original “Hands On Throttle And Stick” concept – and officially licensed by the U.S. government’s Department of the Air Force, the HOTAS Warthog™ Flight Stick is composed of a detachable metal handle which is also compatible with the base of the HOTAS Cougar™ stick (and vice versa), plus a base and a support plate.
Thanks to a metal plate which can be detached from its base, the HOTAS Warthog™ Flight Stick can be used either on a desk or mounted in a cockpit. The activation pressure on the stick's buttons and trigger is completely realistic. It features 19 action buttons in total, plus one 8-way “point of view” hat: 1 x 8-way “point of view” hat, 2 x 8-way hats, 1 x 4-way hat with push button, 1 x metal dual trigger, 2 x push buttons, 2 x pinkie push buttons. The stick includes a USB connector and also features upgradable firmware; what's more, it's ultra-stable (weighing in at more than 6.6 lbs/3 kg).
The HOTAS Warthog™ Flight Stick will be available starting May 2013 at a suggested retail price of $299.99 (taxes included).

Review: Ozone Strike Mechanical Gaming Keyboard

By BluePanda @ Overclockers Club
Our friends at Ozone are back again, this time with a new mechanical keyboard. For those of you who know a little bit about keyboards, this one comes with your Cherry Black switches. For those of you who are a little less familiar with this terminology, cherry black switches are linear (non-tactile) switches and are considered one of the best types for gaming. The idea is to give you a smooth feel and provide the exact same release position in every key. Games with a lot of double tapping become easier and if you tend to hit the wrong key often, these are beneficial to you since they require a little more force to get that same key press. A lot of people don’t like the linear nature of Cherry Blacks, but mechanical keyboards already come down to a personal choice. If you are fan of Cherry Blacks, the Ozone Strike might just be for you.

Oh, the irony! How can something called "Warthog" be so beautiful? If you have even a passing interest in flight simulations, air combat or otherwise, one look at the Warthog joystick and throttle will make you weak in the knees with desire.
The catch, however, is the joystick and split throttle combo retails for $499.00. That's a lot of coin, so one has to ask if that's the sort of money one should be spending on one's hobby.
