Hardware Guide 25:Logitech ChillStream

Christmas is just around the corner and besides the new game consoles, there are still some other funky gaming gadgets for you to try out. The Logitech ChillStream, which was recently launched, is one of them.

At first glance, the Logitech ChillStream may look like an Xbox 360 game controller with the familiar A, B, X and Y buttons, which coincidentally, are coated in the same colors as the Xbox 360 buttons, but no, it is a PC gaming controller. For gamers who often get sweaty palms when playing the more intense games, this controller will solve your problems. The controller contains a built-in fan whose speed can be adjusted with 3 speed settings to dry your palms. However, if you are looking for a wireless experience, this controller will not be able to cater; it is USB-corded. Designed to make sure that you can hold the controller comfortably in your hands, it also has rubber grips for firm handling and is covered in an elegant silver. What’s more, you do not need the latest operating system to use the controller; it is compatible even with computers using Windows 2000 and for those who are upgrading to Windows Vista next year, the controller will also be compatible.
