- Optimus Maximus
- Despite its innovative approach to keyboard design, the OLED-based Optimus Maximus keyboard is best considered an expensive novelty. Its $1,600 price tag keeps it out of the hands of the average consumer, and we also question the practical benefit of using 113 customizable OLED screens as an input device. There...

- Das Professional Keyboard
- Anyone who remembers when a "laptop" computer looked more like a suitcase-size nuclear weapon may recall the old IBM Model M-style keyboard. With its distinct "clacky" sound and the amazing responsiveness of its buckling spring keys, many typists, gamers, and enthusiasts lament that that old design has become more-or-less instinct....

- Logitech G15 Keyboard (Revision 2)
- Somehow we missed Logitech's update to its G15 Keyboard last year. It started showing up in our lab recently with a few high-end gaming PCs that spurred us to give it the full review treatment. We're glad we did. The new model improves on many facets of the original, elevating...

- Belkin Nostromo n52te
- Gaming keypads are funky little accessories. To the layperson, they're just little partial keyboards for the left hand that sit next to a keyboard that offer all the same controls. For hardcore gamers, however, they're valuable tools. These programmable keypads let gamers completely customize their gaming experience, mapping their favorite...

- Saitek Cyborg Command Unit
- Saitek may have been purchased by rival Mad Catz, but the company is still--for the time being, anyway--cranking out its own gaming accessories. Saitek's premium line of PC accessories has been rebranded "Cyborg," and in addition to the gaming-centric keyboard, mouse, gamepad, and headset, the line includes the Cyborg...

- Microsoft Sidewinder Gaming Mouse
- In designing its new Sidewinder Gaming Mouse, we imagine Microsoft's product designers going over the features of the Logitech G5 and the Razer DeathAdder and asking "what else can we cram in there?" For a suggested price of $80, the Sidewinder delivers all of the complexity hardcore gamers demand in...

- Razer's new ProType Keyboard has two major highlights. The first is that it has a built-in iPod docking station that helps keep your desk free of cable clutter. The second is the keyboard itself, a just-feels-right design we awarded with a CNET Editor's Choice award when it debuted with Razer's...

- Logitech G5 Laser Mouse (2007)
- The two main competitors in high-end gaming mice have both come within a hair of earning a CNET Editors' Choice award, but both missed the mark. We held back on Razer's recent DeathAdder a few weeks ago because its on-the-fly sensitivity switching is so convoluted. The 2005 Logitech G5 Laser...

- Razer DeathAdder
- Razer's new DeathAdder comes very close to usurping the Logitech G5 Laser Mouse as our gaming mouse of choice. At $60, Razer's mouse is about the same price, but the DeathAdder offers much more customizability and is also more accurate. That alone will be enough to sway the gamers in...

- Logitech diNovo Edge
- Logitech's diNovo Edge keyboard certainly looks like the best keyboard around. Taking the clean-lined design cues of its previous diNovo boards, Logitech's latest high-end keyboard is a remarkably attractive piece of hardware. It's a pleasure to type on, with a sturdiness that belies its thin profile. Logitech also added some...

- Ideazon Merc Gaming Keyboard
- It's hard to argue with the Ideazon Merc Gaming Keyboard's $40 price tag. It's not as responsive as the $99 CNET Editor's Choice-winning Razer Tarantula, and it doesn't even light up like the $99 Logitech G15 or the $60 and $70 respectively Saitek Eclipse or Eclipse II. The separate game...
