Highlights From The CES 2009

The CES 2009 brought a some new interesting accessories for gamers.


Logitech were there in force with their upgraded G-range of gaming peripherals. First off was the G13 Advanced Gameboard, which is already available in the shops. That will be followed in March by the new 5,000dpi G9x mouse and then in April by the Logitech G19 keyboard. The G19 is a sexy piece of kit with a full-colour LCD screen, 36 programmable keys and pick-you-own-colour backlighting.

Razer were also there with a new mouse. This time they've gone wireless with the new Mamba mouse, which is capable of a staggering 5,600dpi and can even convert to wired thanks to a detachable cable. It looks good and, if they get the firmware right at release (unlike the Deathaddaer and Lachesis) it'll be a winner.

D-Box were showing off their latest gaming chair, the $3,000 (ker-ching) D-Box GPH-120. It looks amazing, and the motors allow the chair to give pitch, roll and virtual heave at anything up to 2G of acceleration. Pretty cool!
