Saitek is most well known for its input devices: joysticks, keyboards, chess devices, and mice. The company recently dived into the headset market with its GH30 Vibration Headset, a USB or battery-powered, stylish set bound to shake up the competition, or will it? ThinkComputers proudly presents the review.

Despite its large size, I found this mouse to be a pleasure to use. With six programmable buttons, four DPI settings that can be changed on-the-fly, and removable weights it will appeal to a wide range of gamers with all the customization options. Response time is superb and two button profiles can be saved with Saitek's SST programming software. Even the traction on the bottom of the mouse can be adjusted by flipping over the weight covers.

With 20 programmable keys and three different game modes, it should satisfy those with even the most meticulous preferences. Laptop gamers would find it useful as it would be worlds of improvement over the built-in keyboard. It's comfortable to use, the software is straightforward, and the backlit keys look cool as well.

Saitek is best known for its input peripherals, and the Obsidian wireless mouse is an example of Saitek's best work. The wireless mouse is very ergonomic and is intelligently designed to allow 24/7 use-never having stop for an hour or two because the batteries are dead. ThinkComputers checks out this purported gamer's dream mouse to see if it's real, or but a figment of our imagination.

Some gamers may know Saitek as the maker of some superb Chess Computers. In fact, Garry Kasparov, a World Champion chess player, has been associated with Saitek for over 21 years. With a rich history spanning 28 years, Saitek provides quality products manufactured in its own factory to assure the highest quality of merchandise designed to perform for many years to come. Today, we have a brand new product from Saitek called, OBSIDIAN. This is a wireless rechargeable mouse and comes attractively packaged and well protected within a hard plastic cover within the box.

The joystick portion of the X52 has a precision centering mechanism and the spring tension gives realistic feedback. Three spring loaded toggle switches are located below the joystick and can be mapped to two functions per switch. The main trigger is made from metal and is two position allowing you to control two functions from the trigger.

In the hand the Saitek Obsidian is wider and lower profile than typical mice such as those from Logitech. Battery life is very good with one battery lasting my entire work day, and I use the mouse very heavily. I would peg battery life at about 6 hours which is right on par with the Logitech G7 that I normally use.

The Saitek GH50 may look quite normal at first glance and even though it is very light, the headset packs quite a punch. As soon as the SRS is turned on, you may never want to go back to using those normal stereo variants. We try the GH50 with games, movies and music after taking a close look and let you know if it really fares as good as it sounds.

The Saitek GK200 may look like a normal keyboard, but it is geared toward gamers, who are on a budget and would like a normal sized input device. The gaming keys are a great feature while the Audio and USB 2.0 connector round up for a well balanced gaming keyboard - all for the price of a normal one.

The Saitek GM3200 may be bigger than most other gaming mice, but it is so for a reason. The customizable weight system as well as a slew of programmable buttons in two modes and an on-the-fly DPI switch make this one of the most versatile mice out there. The great paint job, bright lighting and backlit Saitek logo make this mouse perfect for modding fans and LAN party gamers.

Saitek's Eclipse II keyboard is the successor of the Eclipse. It features three different backlight colors and some very comfortable keys for stress and pain free gaming. The layout looks a bit futuristic, while keeping the size and weight at the same level as normal keyboards. We light it up and try it out with gaming and every day work and let you know how it fares.

In the performance market, numbers mean everything. From MHZ to megabyte, the industry revolves around extremes. Today I have the Saitek GM3200 gamers mouse which promises the fairly unnecessary DPI of 3200. Will this be enough?

Today we are looking at the world?s first 1st 3200 dpi laser mouse from Saitek, the GM3200. This mouse promises to be excellent with the features of it as well as the weight removal system. The question is will it be any good.

As the keyboard is about the most used item on the computer besides the monitor and mouse, and often outlives systems, the Eclipse is a solid buy. On our rating scale I would have to give the Eclipse a rating of 95 out of 100, and is a solid choice for a Gamers Gold Award.

I always like a product that does what it says it will and does it well. Saitek has such a product in the A-100 My Spkr. This simple yet elegant device belts out the tunes with impressive clarity and the bass response is really amazing for its size. Small light and portable, the A-100 may find a large audience.
