In the hubbub of a late evening soiree in the center of Cologne, Mad Catz unveiled its new gaming keyboard. While the S.T.R.I.K.E. 7 keyboard is certainly punctuation-rich, it’s aiming to match all those periods with just as many functions and permutations. The keyboard has a modular design, including a new touchscreen interface offering up some new swipe and gesture controls across both gaming titles and day-to-day PC use. Mad Catz reckons it’s the final piece in their gaming range puzzle, complementing both the aforementioned R.A.T. mice and its F.R.E.Q gaming headsets. We take a closer look — and throw in the suitably bombastic promo video — after the break.

Tritton Warhead 7.1 Wireless Surround Sound Headset for Xbox 360 review

DRAFT Tritton Warhead 71 Wireless Surround Sound Headset for Xbox 360 review Boom!

This is for sure: if you’re a gamer seeking a primo wireless surround sound headset, now is a very good time to buy. It’s been less than two weeks since Astro Gaming’s A50 wireless surround headset impressively traversed the Engadget review gauntlet, and now the crazy kitties that are Mad Catz and Tritton are up for a turn. It’s taken the duo well over a year and a half to get its full range of Microsoft-licensed Xbox 360 headsets off the ground, with the flagship Warhead 7.1 Wireless Surround Sound Headset set to hit shelves in just a few days.

Aside from packing some innovative and exclusive features for Xbox 360 users, it stands as the only totally integrated wireless headset for the system — for the first time you won’t need a pesky controller-to-headset cable or a controller-mounted Bluetooth dongle for voice chat. We’ve been fortunate enough to get an early look at this $300 Dolby Headphone-enabled headset, so join us past the break and we’ll let you know whether it’s been worth the wait — or whether it’s too much, too late.

How would you change the Mad Catz MLG Pro for PS3?

How would you change the Mad Catz MLG Pro for PS3

Mad Catz’ MLG Pro Circuit controller is aimed squarely at those who play games professionally — or would like to. We put the PS3 version of the handset through its paces and found that while it’s highly customizable, a lack of Sixaxis, force feedback and pressure-sensitive buttons made the gaming experience feel lightweight. Are you a gamer and did you buy one? You’ve had six months hard labor on this thing, so why not tell us what you thought of it and if you were asked, what would you change?
