In Pictures: 20 Crazy And Unique Gaming Accessories

Tron Legacy

While these peripherals aren't really considered "crazy" or "weird," you have to admit that TRON: Legacy-themed devices would look great on your desktop or connected to your favorite console. The Disney-sanctioned lineup makes that dream a reality. Razer crafted the $130 laser-etched keyboard and $100 560 DPI laser mouse, while PDP created the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and Wii controllers.

There is nothing on this list I'd like to own. Am I now a cranky old man?

Me too, nothing on this list that I like to own.

Come on, bring me the VR helmet with motion sensing and differentiated output for stereo vision, at least HD resolution, light and compact enough to allow me to jerk my head fast if needed be.

The Buffalo USB controller looks fun. Though I'm not sure if it'd be really usable on any of today's new games.

I always wanted a driving chair that tilts slightly the opposite way as you corner. This would add a lot of realism to taking corners as one would have to lean in.
I could imagine this could be a device that you can put on a chair that will just elevate the one side as the corners are coming. Fat asses need not apply, will burn the motor down. :D

Are those psyko headphones any good?

I own the original Belkin n52 and it's awesome. There are several others build directly into the keyboard as well and other similar products to the n52.

That one is a recommended buy IMO.

Cheers!

I've been thinking about getting the R.A.T. mouse. Looks awesome.

Saitek Cyborg R.A.T. 7 is fantastic to play with. A friend of mine got one. At first it looked a little bulky and on the overkill side. When I tried using it, all my previous thoughts about it vanished, and I was amazed at how comfortable the mouse was, and how conveniently placed all the controls were.

I've had the Warrior gamepad for a number of years now; I'm surprised to see it on this list. Useful, but I wouldn't call it "crazy and unique."

The only thing there that I would really love to have is the IR5. A big improvement over the IR3 I own!

That psycho headset is a pile of crap. The SQ is so horrible, I can't understand how anyone could like that tinny, flat, shrill sound. I was one of the first people to get a set and have never been so disgusted. They were $300 at the time. I did get my money back though. Did I forget to say how heave they were? Psyko is psyko for releasing this pile of crap.

How about something like this?

And I think anyone who could physically fit into the seat would have no problems playing.

If it was an actual product I'd totally buy on of those Full Face Helmets just for the WTF reaction I'd get when someone saw me sitting at my desk wearing it.
