Microsoft - Sidewinder Mouse review

The first rule of Sidewinder Mouse? Download software from the Web. With no disc included in the otherwise comprehensive packaging, the bright startup guide is insistent that that's where you start. It's a 14MB download you need, and cleverly it's grouped with standard mice rather than the gaming menu under Microsoft's tree structure.
This, then, is Microsoft's long-promised re-entry into the PC gaming hardware sector, to which it made a token gesture with the release of an Xbox 360 gamepad for PC, but otherwise left alone since abandoning the original Sidewinder gaming line many years ago. The new Sidewinder Mouse is promised to be the first in a line-up of accessories aimed very much at the serious gamer


Saitek - P3200 Rumble review

With the rise and rise of console gaming, there isn't an Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3 player who doesn't feel at home punching the buttons and triggers on their controller. So when the same gamers wanted to try out the joys of PC gaming, the manufacturers obliged by producing gamepads designed along the same lines, so they wouldn't feel lost figuring out combinations of keypads and mice.
Saitek has been at the forefront of PC gaming peripherals for some time and its latest forays into this area have produced the P3200 Rumble and the Cyborg Rumble. Both are designed to support both classic PC gamepad configurations and Microsoft's new Xbox 360 controller standard (although it's virtually identical to the PS3 controller) but the Cyborg contains extra features like an FPS button for shooter lovers and Precision Mode to decrease sensitivity.

Gembird - EL720 Slim Illuminated Aluminium Keyboard review

In contrast to the majority of computer components and peripherals, the humble keyboard has quietly undergone a revolution over the past half-decade or so. Previously the last thing you cared about, and more often than not stuffed in the sub-£5 box at the local computer fair, the keyboard has been a major beneficiary of several shifts in computing.
For one, it's benefited from the media revolution, giving keyboard makers the world over a simple excuse to smack an array of media-related keys and extra buttons onto their boards. Secondly, people have become more health-aware, and thus the keyboard is rarely treated - except by the laptop market - as an afterthought any more.
And finally there's been the aesthetic overhaul of the PC, with eroding price margins forcing manufacturers to big-up the looks of their equipment to help snag a sale. End result? A good quality keyboard now at least demands £20-30, and it's not unreasonable to spend more.
