Here you go @FetusZero. You wanted a pretty good controller, you got it. It has four buttons, four triggers in which two of them are analogue and two joysticks. It is compatible with PC, PS2 and PS3. Thats not all. The Cyborg system of this controller will allow to shift the D-Pad and the Analog stick back and forth on their designated position, just to adopt the way both 360 and PS3 controllers are. Oh yes it is wired too. It is priced at $59.99

Well the product name describes one part: its a 5.1 surround system. It has everything that most surround speakers boast but unlike others, it has "Matrix Surround Sound" button which changes mode from music to gaming and converts 2.1 audio to arificial 5.1 sound. Another feature is the Frequency Dual Driver technology that creates uniform soundfield anywhere in the room. At $199.99 you can experience a quality gaming sound in your room. One more thing, you can customize the covers of the speakers with different designs.

One killing feature of this monitor is the sexy look of this monitor. Now lets go for the specs. It is a full HD 1920x1200 monitor with dynamic contrast ratio of 80000:1 and 120Hz refresh rate. Another striking feature is that it has 3D capability which indeed provided good results (although you still need 3D glasses from NVIDIA). The only problem of this monitor is the price tag of $499.

 

4. Logitech G27 Racing Wheel

When I first saw this, I was like oh what. It is small and wont let you pour coins in it. Well at least this is one of the ways to have some sort of arcade gaming entertainment. Priced at at over 11.99 dollars (7.5 pounds), it is wise to give at least a try for PSP lovers.

Released back in the 90s, this thing is still sold and indeed became a cult classic. Designed for FPS gaming and for improvement with control interaction from the left hand, this device can become an effective tool for serious FPS gamer. A good way to put this: single hand weapon ok, dual hand weapons better. At $50, you can still get this beauty.

 

10. Guillemot Thrustmaster T-Flight Hotas X Joystick

 

 

Those who love Flight Simulators or Dogfight Simulators would definitely love this. This thing has flight stick with throttle controls packed with lever control. At $39.99 this is a good buy.
