Manufacturers, it seems, are never happy. Once upon a time, the common keyboard was content just to have its usual buttons on it, perhaps with the addition of a Windows key to the right of the ...

Logitech's excellent entry into this round-up resolutely spells 'laser' with the letter 's'. Hurrah. It's also the most expensive of the three kits on test here, although it simply drips with quality. That said, we didn't ...

You just know that when a modern day piece of computer hardware arrives in a tin, there's likely to be something a little different about it. And this particularly device is certainly different. But with a ...

In the past we've experienced bad mice, and we hated those 'mices' to pieces. There's nothing worse than an uncomfortable, cheap mouse, and considering how much you use this long-tailed peripheral it's worth splashing out a ...

It's possible to buy a gaming mouse. And a fantastically expensive precision mousing surface for it. Then there are all manner of weird and wonderful gaming peripherals which sort of look like joysticks, but are actually ...

To many people, the keyboard is one of the most subjective PC-related purchases to be made, so Saitek's latest unit is a strong product. Aiming - as you'd expect from the name - at the serious ...

Flight simulation games have always had a firm following amongst wannabe pilots who want to relive WWII dogfights or experience more modern jet warfare. Essential to this air combat are a decent joystick and throttle control ...

One person's favourite mouse is another's horror story. The variance in personal taste is one reason Logitech has made a real name for itself in replacement mice and keyboards, producing alternatives that cater to different needs. ...

And that option is this. We're talking about the Cordless Rumblepad 2, which is the first such pad this reviewer has used that's worked (nearly) without fault. As with all wireless pads, it's relatively heavy - ...

And so we look further up the line to a pad that's a much more deserving cause. The Rumblepad 2 Vibration Feedback USB is more comfortable and far more capable, and happily gives one of those ...

That said, the Logitech Precision USB Pad is perhaps not your best choice of the three devices on show here if you're looking for a controller capable of matching what the PlayStation 2 item has to ...

Many owners of PDAs rather like the idea of using them as serious data input machines - taking advantage of the word processing or notes applications that come as standard or bulking out with something more ...

Your keyboard and mouse are important parts of your computer. They need to feel right under your hands, and function well. That's a key reason why there are so many choices out there - wired and ...

Here's a question for you. How much would you pay for a keyboard and mouse set? In days gone by, you might be tempted to stretch to £50 or £60, perhaps, assuming the right combination of ...

The theory behind the IO Personal Digital Pen is sound. You want to write onto paper, but want your notes and drawings stored on your PC too. So, you use a pen that digitises and software ...

Laptops and notebooks have traditionally come a poor second to their desktop counterparts when it comes to peripherals like cameras and mice. Part of this is due to the practical problem of attaching the peripherals and ...

Some games simply don't work properly if you use the traditional mouse and keyboard combination. It's no coincidence that this reviewer has recently acquired Microsoft's Combat Flight Simulator 3, and as a result the subject of ...

The humble computer mouse has undergone a number of changes in the last year or so. First it lost its ball, to be replaced by an LED and optical sensor, which effectively takes pictures of the ...

You can buy a joystick for under £10, but what you get is likely to be all plastic with very little feel and a potential lifespan measured in minutes. If you take your games seriously and ...

Trust's offering in this group stands out for several reasons. For a start, the Vibration Feedback Rally Master has a garishly bright red wheel. It also has a separate gearshift as well as buttons on the ...
