Review: Ozone Smog Gaming Mouse

Posted by Donster on: 2009-11-20 16:51:01 in category: Game Controller News [ Print ]

By: Hilbert Hagedoorn @ GURU3D

Smog is one of the most extreme mouse's I have tested personally in a while and we've seen a good number of them. Smog is as versatile as can be and not only that, it's a very ergonomic mouse with a great feel and guess what, an affordable sales price as well. The Smog features an ergonomic right handed design, it has an embedded Avago 9500 laser sensor, 7+2 programmable buttons, and a DPI settings 5040 (selectable). The mouse also comes with a rubber left side grip, ceramic footpads, an adjustable weight. And sure, Macro modes for gaming profiles as well and 4-way scrolling.

Review: NOVINT Falcon 3D Force Feedback Gaming Controller

Posted by Donster on: 2009-10-28 15:47:30 in category: Game Controller News [ Print ]

Author: Andrew Jones @ TweakTown

I’ve had force feedback devices before, such as a joystick that was pretty much useless for anything but flight sims. But what NOVINT have brought to the table here is by no means an evolution of the force feedback joystick. It’s much different!

This concept has been redesigned from the ground up to really give you a perspective based control over the environment, either through an FPS game, a flight simulation or even 3D object manipulation and design.

Author: Chad Sebring @ TweakNews

Today we are looking at the Storm Sentinel Advance mouse and the CS-M FPS Tactics pad. Cooler Master not only took a leap and entered an unknown market, but they went all the way and made sure that the gaming surface is as accurate as the mouse. Let’s get down to business, get some images and do a bit of testing to see just how well Cooler Master did with their new introductions.

Posted by Donster on: 2009-09-17 16:26:01 in category: Game Controller News [ Print ]

Author: Blake James @ Big Bruin

The Cooler Master CM Storm Sentinel Advance is by far the most feature rich gaming mouse I have seen to date. I would also go as far as saying that any gamer would benefit from the versatility and comfort provided by this mouse. Every aspect of the mouse is at your control to be adjusted and tweaked to fit each game's unique style of use.

Review: Razer Mamba Wireless Gaming Mouse

Posted by Donster on: 2009-07-08 16:58:10 in category: Game Controller News [ Print ]

News Source: PC Perspective

If you want a fast, extremely sensitive gaming mouse, then you have to put up with a cord. That's been the rule, until Razer decided to introduce the Mamba Wireless Gaming Mouse. Even though it is wireless, this mouse provides 5,600 dpi of resolution, 1 ms latency and a 1,000 Hz polling rate. You can even use it while recharging it, as it will function as a wired mouse while connected. Could Hardware Secrets tell the difference between this mouse and a wired mouse? Read on to see.

Review: I-Rocks KR-6820E Backlit Gaming Keyboard

Posted by Donster on: 2009-06-22 15:59:51 in category: Game Controller News [ Print ]

Article by: Jackie Mueller @ TweakNews

In the end this little keyboard exceeded my expectations. The construction is very solid, the orange backlighting looks awesome, and it has a nearly full 103-key lineup so it's perfect for just about any task. Gaming is what it's designed for and it works great for that, but the soft and quiet keys also work well for general computer use.

Review: OCZ Behemoth Large Gaming Mouse

Posted by Donster on: 2009-03-30 16:40:21 in category: Game Controller News [ Print ]

Written by: Tony Walker @ Pro-Clockers!

It is, as if the mouse is apart of your arm when fragging along. When you get these types of feelings toward anything computer related OCZ understands. And when they know that you as a consumer needs something, chances are they are right in the midst producing something to suit your needs. And this something would be the new Behemoth Gaming Mouse. The Behemoth is aimed at the person that wants a large mouse with all the extras we find in mice like the Razers, Logitechs and Microsofts. Yeah, you get all the features of these mice but with the OCZ touch thrown in. Is the Behemoth the right mouse for you when you start your next frag session?

Here's an unusual concept: a mechanical gaming keyboard with non-clicky key switches. Can such a device create a smooth typing experience, and is it still better than vulgar rubber-membrane keyboards?

Grab a mouse with a Swedish accent

By Nathan Marks @ DriverHeaven

Today we are going to look at two products from a Swedish company called Mionix. Now, most of you reading this have probably never heard of Mionix as they are a new player and have had relatively little exposure within the English speaking market. Game-1 have kindly provided us with the Saiph 3200 laser gaming mouse and the Alioth mouse mat to accompany it. On the outside both products look like promising pieces of kit and over the next few pages we will put them to test.

By: Hilbert Hagedoorn @ GURU3D

An interview with Joseph Melskens from Paccus. A Dutch based company who is working on the new revelation in Force Feedback based Joysticks, fluid head based force feedback. Paccus developed a totally new kind of joystick. One which is real 3D, is as precise and fast as a game mouse, has extra programmable keys, but most important has a unique (patented) fluid head force feedback, that can pull you out of your seat! This is not a toy, it is made from metal. We also have some photos of the prototype.

Review: Logitech G13 Advanced Gameboard

Posted by Donster on: 2008-12-17 16:05:15 in category: Game Controller News [ Print ]

Unlucky 13? Sure, for the other guy. Logitech's newest gaming peripheral is dangerously fun and is in a class of its own.

By Jeremy Atkinson @ ExtremeTech

Today we're examining Logitech's first ever gaming keypad: the G13 Gameboard. Gaming keypads are helpful because they allow gamers to keep their existing keyboard (rather than replace with a gaming keyboard), while also enabling lefties the option of keeping the keypad on the right side of the keyboard. Sure beats using those numbered keys.

Gaming Helmet Lets You Feel Headshots

Posted by Donster on: 2008-12-09 15:36:48 in category: Game Controller News [ Print ]

By Daniel A. Begun @ HotHardware

We're probably still a long way off from a realistic, full-immersion game-playing environment, but one vendor is trying to get us a little closer to the experience--although this company's approach appears to be more akin to using a Holodeck with the safeties turned off (alternatively, if you didn't get the Star Trek reference, it's like paying someone to kick you in the chest or head). The vendor is Redmond, Washington-based TN Games, and it makes force-feedback gaming products that you wear--designed to help you actually feel what is happening inside the game world.

PC gaming is serious business. Any gamer will tell you that the number one tool in their arsenal is a high quality mouse followed by a high quality keyboard. Wolf King steps up, and hopes to lead the pack with its Trooper MVP Gaming Mouse. This new installment is an upgrade from their previously released Trooper mouse. Newer doesn't always mean better, you don't mess with perfection; We have all heard these sayings, but is this what Wolf King did? Or did they just finally prefect the series?
