Saitek Cyborg Keyboard Decked Out Knight Rider Style

A companion to the newly released 3200dpi Cyborg Gaming Mouse, the Cyborg Keyboard looks like something yanked from the set of Knight Rider. Whether you consider that to be a good thing or not, the Cyborg Keyboard does have a few features that will undoubtedly appeal to gamers. This includes an independently backlit WASD, cursor, 'Cyborg' and NumPad keys to highlight commonly used gaming controls (these keys are also metal plated), 12 macro keys, Pass-through USB, audio and microphone sockets, and enhanced multiple key presses for complex gaming commands. It appears that Saitek intended on maintaining what is essentially a basic keyboard with separated and enhanced gaming features. Both the Cyborg keyboard and mouse are available now for $80 and $60 respectively. [Product Page via UberReview]

Saitek Cyborg 3200dpi Gaming Mouse Is Ugly, Super Customizable

Saitek continues on the path of insane 3200dpi laser gaming mice, though its latest, the Cyborg, seems to take a cue from Logitech's G9 design-wise with a boatload of customization options—unless you're a leftie (ha!). Besides being similarly ugly, you can adjust the grip by sliding the front section forward or backward, rather than pop the outer shell off entirely. Its four-way scroll wheel also has adjustable speed settings, which Saitek says is unique for a gaming mouse. Finally, two of its buttons are apparently "freely programmable" in addition to built-in media controls. Oh, and like any high-end gaming mouse of late—a useless trend if ever there was—it has swappable weights. No official street date or price, though Amazon UK pegs it as Jan. 11 for £40 ($83).

Saitek Shows Awesome LCD Displays for Realistic Flight Sim Instrumentation

Thinking of putting together a realistic F/A-18 Hornet or Boeing 747 cockpit for your flight simulation rig? Wait, you might want to check out Saitek's latest dedicated flight simulation peripheral that's looking like the next best thing. The company gave a sneak preview of this trio of convincing-looking screens at E3 this month, and says the unit will be rolling out for sale this fall. More »

Saitek's Cyborg PC Controller Has Precision Snipe Mode

Although not officially announced at E3, Saitek's latest Cyborg Rumble gamepad for the PC takes the best of the Xbox 360 controller and enhances it with some FPS-friendly features. First off, there's a precision control toggle, which when activated, turns down the sensitivity on the sticks so you can go in for a headshot easier. More »

Saitek's GM3200 3200dpi Mouse Reviewed (Verdict: Where'd My Cursor Go?)

By upping the dpi game to 3200 (up from the previous front runner, the Raptor-Gaming M2 at 2400dpi), Saitek's giving gamers what they want—more resolution for twitchfests like Unreal Tournament. The mouse itself is lefty-friendly, has five different LED backlight colors, rubber-like coating, dpi mode switch (800, 1600, 2400 and 3200), is weight adjustable, macro programmable and feels fairly decent in the hand.

Saitek's Obsidian Mouse Scrolls By Touch

Saitek Obsidian mouse could be the sexiest mouse they've made as far as we can remember. Much more useful than the Easter mice, the Obsidian has a touch-sensitive scrolling pad instead of a scroll wheel, two back/forward buttons on the sides, and a 1000 DPI sensor. Oh, and it looks like an Obsidian rock. Our 5th grade teacher would be so proud we remembered. More »

Saitek Mice in an Easter Basket, Why Not?

Now that we have all recovered from St. Patty's Day, it is time to look ahead to the next holiday that can be exploited for financial gain. Easter is coming up, and what is a better way to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus than with a basket filled with Saitek mice. I probably wouldn't mind getting a solid mouse in an Easter basket. It is a hell of a lot better than Peeps and Hershey Kisses that I would end up vomiting later. By the way, the mice sell for $20 if you would like to pursue an Easter peripheral basket, like Saitek is suggesting with this cutesy promotional picture. –Travis Hudson

Saitek Suits Up Mouse with Touch-sensitive Scrolling

A cross between Apple's Mighty Mouse and Motorola's PEBL, the Obsidian is Saitek's most fashionable mouse to date. Its got a 1,000 dpi resolution and ditches a scroll wheel for touch-sensitive scrolling. The horizontal charging dock can simultaneously charge your mouse and a spare battery making sure your mouse never goes hungry. We've never been fans of touch-sensitive scrolling on mice, but if the Obsidian can pull it off, we'll gladly fork over our $80 bucks. – Louis Ramirez More »

Saitek Pro Gamer Command Unit Reviewed (Verdict: Nothing Special)

Saitek is the third company to release one of these keyboard game controllers. The company must have lacked research skills when developing its Pro Gamer Command Unit (PGCU) because this product has the same problems of its predecessors. There are 21 keys total, including an awkwardly-placed "shift" key that gives a second function to all of the other keys, and a toggle switch that proves to be useless in most games. Stiff keys, semi-awkward design and an expensive price tag ($68) are severely hindering the PGCU. More »

Currently going for about 79.99, which is roughly $150 US. More »

New Saitek Speakers

Unique would probably be the subtle way to describe these new speakers from Saitek. Behold the A-250 wireless speakers and the A-200 portable speakers. The A-250 is single unit housing two speakers and one 3W subwoofer. It can connect to any audio device and even features a nifty LCD screen. Who knows what the LCD would say, but every new gadget out is required to have an LCD screen, except the Shuffle, of course. More »
