Pro-Motion Keyboard to Eliminate Carpel Tunnel Syndrome; More Gaming for You

Chris — Thu, 15 Jan 2009 01:23:38 +0000

I happen to prefer PC games sometimes. A good old mouse and a decent keyboard will do the trick for me. No need for a new console platform to get me gaming. That’s why I noticed immediately the availability of a new ergonomic keyboard from Smartfish. The Pro-Motion keyboard will eliminate the risk of RSI and carpel tunnel syndrome for the user. The Dynamic Positioning Controller studies your usage pattern and makes imperceptible adjustments yo the height, angle and radial position of the device.

Here are the main features of the Pro-Motion:

• Full keyboard layout with number pad
• Sleek design
• Patented 3D movement
• Patented Dynamic Position Controller™
• Automatically move based on your use pattern
• Auto prompt exercise program
• Integrated wrist rest
• Aluminum finish
• Sensor Lights

I wouldn’t mind using one of these babies. When will they become available and how much will one cost?

Logitech has always supported serious PC gaming. During the years hardcore gamers have chosen its mice and keyboards, its headsets and so much more. And after the G13 gameboard filled with buttons, Logitech has created various new peripherals which will support any game you decide to play.

You might want to bundle that with the $129 G35 which is a 7.1 surround-sound headset with integrated voice morphing options. And last but not least we have the G9 mouse or the G9x which will get you a maximum DPI of 5000. The G9x will cost $99 and it will arrive in April following the G35 and G19 which will be launched this March.

If you’ve been looking to get your Halo 3 on by means of a mouse and keyboard, but haven’t found any way to do so, the day of reckoning has arrived.

Ok, so it’s not official, and it does cost $180, but it theoretically will allow you to play any of your favorite Xbox 360 games with a mouse and keyboard.

Entitled the XIM 2, all it basically is, is a modified Xbox 360 controller that allows you to plug in a mouse and keybord. Now common Microsoft (or third parties), you don’t want some sketchy hacker extorting gamers with a peice of hardware you could sell for $30, do you?

Still interested? Head here to pre-order the above monstrosity.

We all remember when the PSP keyboard seen above was first talked about right? Well, what the heck happened to it? It seems like Sony just forgot about it, and then when a third party goes to release their own keyboard, that gets canceled too.

Well modders from the AcidMods community decided to take the matters into their own hands using nothing more than an Xbox 360 Chatpad, and a hacked up PSP remote wire. The result? A fully functioning PSP keyboard, something that should have hit the market ages ago.

Peep the YouTube vid, showing the mods functionality, after the break.
