Microsoft’s Reclusa Gaming Keyboard Doesn’t Read Fingerprints, Is Cool

Microsoft sent us an odd announcement pairing the Reclusa gaming keyboard with a fingerprint reader for Vista. I’m not sure why you’d need a fingerprint reader attached to a gaming keyboard. CSI: The Game? Police-state parental control? Two totally different products that don’t work great together. The Reclusa has just about every other feature, so…

Razer’s Mako Desktop Speakers Look Like Spaceship, May Actually Sound Good

Razer, known for its high end PC gaming peripherals, is trying to break into the more general home entertainment market. The first step? The Mako desktop speakers, designed in conjunction with THX’s mad scientists to sound, you know, better than the average piece of junk PC desktop speakers. There was only one small catch in…

Linksys Gaming Router Scares Your Opponents: Tattooed, QoS, A/B/G/N

It has four Gigabit Ethernet LAN ports and one Gigabit WAN port. It uses a Network Optimizer to automatically prioritize latency-sensitive data—in other words, it’ll analyze your…

Sharp GP1U Gaming LCD TVs: 4TW

While sure to be overshadowed by the 108-inch behemoth they unveiled today (literally), Sharp also introduced a new line of gaming-optimized 1080p Aquos LCD sets, which come in 37-inch and 32-inch flavors. Sporting 8500:1 and 10,000:1 dynamic contrast ratios respectively, they both boast “QuickShoot” circuitry for a less than 6 ms response time. The feature…

Philips amBX Both Sucks and Blows

Philips wants to play games with your head with the amBX gaming system, with two fans blowing on your face, flashing lights, a rumble bar for vibrations and speakers growling at the appropriate moments. Unfortunately instead of adding excitement, it just blows. – Charlie White with video by Richard Blakeley

E3’s Dead. Long Live E4.

IDG’s finally revealed a name for its giant consumer gaming show to replace the recently killed E3 show. The result: E For All, or E4, as it’s undoubtedly going to be called. The name came from a consumer competition to name the show, and was entered by Dante Padre of California, who has a pretty…

PSToast, a PS2 Toaster Mod

We have quite the infatuation with toasters of all shapes and sizes around these parts. So it makes me super giddy in the pantalones that someone has gutted a toaster and put a PS2 inside. It looks good, it works, but unfortunately it no longer makes toast, even though there are two available slots. The…

Nintendo Wii Sports Pack Wiimote Attachments

The Nintendo Wii‘s pack-in game Wii Sports is a pretty decent proof of concept, but waving around the Wiimote isn’t exactly a realistic experience. However, by attaching these plastic, erm, attachments, you can authentically recreate the experience of swinging a baseball bat, golf club or tennis racket. Take a look for yourself at all of…

An updated, larger, and wider version of the iZ3D Three-Dimensional gaming monitor we reviewed in September is being launched at CES.

Xbox 360 Outsells PS3, Wii During Christmas

Research group NPD (the same guys who gave us Zune stats) says Xbox 360 outsold the other two next-gen consoles during the “Christmas” season. Fortunately for Microsoft, the Christmas season consisted of the start of November until Christmas Day, which means the Wii—which sold 1.8 million to Xbox’s 2 million—would have won if Nintendo’s launch…

If you can get your hands on it, the Nintendo Wii is pretty great (except for that whole broken strap thing). It could use some color, though.
