Nyko Charge Base IC (Wii)

After a seemingly endless tirade of Nintendo Wii charging accessories, not until now have we seen third-party manufacturers enter the world of induction charging. We've already got our hands on the Energizer 2X Induction Charge Station and we really enjoyed the convenience of not having to detach batteries and Wii...

Nyko Kama Wireless Nunchuk (Wii)

Even though the Nintendo Wii makes use of wireless technology, you still need a wire to attach the nunchuk accessory to the Wii remote for selected games that require it. While many gamers agree the cord length is ample, there are a few situations where you may feel constrained. ...

Nyko Zero Wireless Controller (PS3)

When Sony announced that the PlayStation 3 Sixaxis controller wouldn't include the same force feedback feature found on the PS2, it looked like we might have to endure the PlayStation 3's entire life cycle without the satisfying rumble effects we've become so familiar with. Sony has since announced (September 2007)...

Nyko Perfect Shot (Wii)

We've seen our fair share of Wii accessories by now--most of them meaningless plastic encasings providing no real advantage over just using the Wii remote by itself. But with the Perfect Shot from Nyko, we're finally seeing a practical application for use with most Wii shooter games. The snap-on housing...

Nyko Blu-Wave Infrared Remote (PS3)

The PlayStation 3 is arguably one of the most advanced home consumer entertainment products ever, but it's missing one of the most rudimentary features found on every $40 DVD player: an infrared remote sensor. That means that you can't control the PS3 with a traditional universal remote; you're instead forced...

Nyko Wireless Sensor Bar (for Nintendo Wii)

This might surprise you, but the sensor bar for the Nintendo Wii doesn't really sense anything. It actually emits light for the Wii remote's sensors to detect: The sensor bar contains two LEDs that emit invisible infrared light, which the Wiimote uses to fix its position in space, translating that...

Nyko GameFace 360

One of the most hyped features of the Xbox 360 was its customizability. Whereas the original Xbox was a big black box with a ho-hum interface, the 360 can be fitted with new faceplates and custom themes. While the theme department is well spoken for--there's plenty to download and...

Nyko Intelligent Remote 360

Nyko's inexpensive Intelligent Remote 360 retails for $20--about 10 bucks less than Microsoft's Xbox 360 Universal Media Remote--and offers essentially the same button layout. As you might expect, however, there are some slight differences between the two. For starters, the Nyko is wider, and the DVD-transport buttons are above...

Nyko Charger Grip for PSP

The battery that ships with the Sony PSP gives you about five hours of battery life on average--even less than that if you're playing a Wi-Fi enabled game or watching a UMD movie. If you're looking for some extra juice, you can always buy an extra battery, which will run...

Nyko Action Pak (Wii)

When we first laid eyes on the Nintendo Wii's controller, visions of light gun games danced in our heads. The unique design of the Wii remote surely lends itself to such a genre, but when played in practice, it isn't necessarily a satisfying experience in its own right. Since...

Energizer 2X Induction Charge Station for Wii

Now that Wii MotionPlus is already on store shelves, many existing Wii remote chargers are quickly becoming obsolete. Sure, removing the tiny attachment so that your Wii remote can properly charge sounds simple enough, but if you're a big proponent of the rubber jackets, removing that and MotionPlus can...

Nyko Wand (Wii)

Back at CES 2009, a relatively nonexistent gaming presence was rescued by the Nyko Wand, a third-party Wii remote control that promised a complete overhaul of the Nintendo original. Most exciting of all was the device's Trans-Port technology, which allows for button commands to be transferred through the Nunchuk...

Logitech Harmony Adapter for PlayStation 3

What's turned out to be one of the most disappointing omissions regarding the PlayStation 3 has to be the lack of an IR infrared port. Getting the console to play nicely with a universal remote control has been quite infuriating, but we've tested some workarounds in the past. Those with...
