Logitech G gets colourful So much gaming gear is black. Black’s cool, but sometimes it’s nice to have a bit of colour – enter Logitech G’s latest range. The spearhead of their new “Colour Collection” is the G733 Lightspeed Wireless Gaming Headset, which comes in four colours. OK,

so there’s still black for the diehards, and also classic white, but they’re joined by snazzy vibrant blue and lilac options. Weighing just 278g, the G733 comes with soft dual-layer memory foam ear pads for super-comfort. Accompanying the release is a collection of five different colour-coordinated headband straps and mic covers. Also joining in the new colour palette fun will be the G305 Lightspeed Wireless Gaming Mouse and the G203 Wired Gaming Mouse.

Kart-time love! If you’re really into your Mario Kart and want to take it to the next level then it’s time, as this month sees Nintendo letting loose the really cool Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit . Basically, it’s a remote-control car with a camera onboard that you drive around using your Switch. Through the magic of augmented reality (AR), onscreen it looks like you’re playing the classic racer – bananas and other hazards and all – but you’re watching you and your opponents zipping around a course that you’ve designed, in your own environment. Just set up a track with special real-world gates and the physical kart will respond to power-ups in-game and in the real world. If Mario’s too red for you – but remember, “they” say that red goes faster – Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit is also available in a cool green Luigi flavour.

Zen and the art of controller compatibility Have you ever sat down for a Forza Horizon 4 fang and wished that you could use your PS4 controller? Fallen in love with Nintendo’s superb Switch Pro Controller and wish you could use it for all of your gaming? Well, wish no more, for now you can. The Cronus Zen is a remarkable piece of kit that brings freedom of choice to the controller world, supporting those from PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, Xbox One, Switch, Wii U and even keyboard/mouse combos. As well as offering universal controller

compatibility in an easy to set up package, the Cronus Zen also features game mod scripting, which is easily programmed via connection to a Windows or Mac computer and offers thousands of community-created mods for all the latest and greatest games.

One sharp-looking mouse! Razer have taken their epic Naga wired mouse and made it even more epic. Now wireless, you can connect the Naga Pro via Razer’s Hyperspeed wireless tech, via Bluetooth, or kick it old school with a USB cable (which also charges). Beyond its incredibly comfortable ergonomics, the joy of the Naga Pro is its three speedily interchangeable button plates, offering two, six or 12 assignable buttons for everything from shooters to RPGs to just taking care of business. Add fully programmable RGB lighting, onboard memory, macro ability and 99.6 per cent resolution accuracy at 20,000DPI and you have a mouse that not only looks the part, but acts it too.
