Remember the Power Glove, that controller for the NES that looked so cool when it debuted in The Wizard, but ultimately proved an unusable, if neat looking, piece of over-priced plastic? Well, the Peregrine isn’t that. I mean, both game controllers built into gloves, sure, but the similarities seem to stop there.
Manufactured by a company of the same name, The Peregrine doesn’t offer the gesture-based control the Power Glove promised. Rather the device is designed to offer a quick way for PC gamers to access their keyboard hotkeys without actually having to touch their keyboard.
The device has a number of built-in sensors. Touching combinations together will trigger a specific hotkey action. A total of 30 actions can be programmed into the controller. The Peregrine will arrive in Fall 2009. Pre-order is not yet available.
