Blazepro PS3 keypad is cheaper, hideous
The tech ninjas at Blazepro may know a thing or two about cutting prices. When it comes to corners, though, not so much. The peripheral manufacturer has released its own Wireless Keypad for the PlayStation 3, sacrificing sexy contours for a much lower price -- $11 compared to $50 for Sony's curvier official model. Still, as the saying goes, you may get what you pay for. The boxy clip-on communicates with the PS3 using a 2.4GHz USB dongle rather than the console's native Bluetooth capability, and doesn't look to come with any sort of rechargeable functionality whatsoever. We can't help but wonder if the savings are worth it, even with the promise of a "leap-frequency communication solution" and "strongly anti-jamming" qualities. If you do decide to take a chance, though, let us know what you think. Just be careful of those edges.
Blazepro's Wireless PS3 Keypad is 80% cheaper than Sony's, and it costs less too
Oh it's boxy alright. But what Blazepro's Wireless Keypad for the PS3 lacks in highfalutin curves is more than made up for in price: just $11 compared to the $50 you'd have to pay for Sony's own Bluetooth Wireless Keypad. Unfortunately, there's no mention of included rechargeables and Blazepro's keypad communicates with the PS3 via a 2.4GHz USB dongle instead of using the PS3's built-in Bluetooth. Shame, but at least it includes a "Leap-frequency communication solution" and "strongly anti-jamming." Maybe you should just wait for the reviews.[Via DCEMUUK Forums, thanks Craig]
Blazepro Classic Controller: Dude, get your own design
The Blazepro Classic Controller claims to be the first third-party Classic Controller, which isn't exactly true -- the Hori Fighting Stick works as a Classic, and plugs into the Wiimote in the same way. But as far as we know, it's the first traditional-style third-party Classic Controller. And it should be a hit among Monster Hunter fans.The product description at SuperUFO says that Blazepro's controller "is looks like a squareness,but the function has no difference between the origin one." It doesn't just looks like a squareness -- it looks exactly like a PSP. As in "somebody made a mold of a PSP as the basis for their controller." It's even got an area at the top that looks like the UMD slot![Via DCEmu]
Blazepro ships Wii Classic Controller, Nintendo hints at first-party classic attachment
Nintendo has been tight with Wii accessories, allowing few -- if any -- third-party impostors while not being very forthcoming about plans for future first-party input devices. That's all changed today (at least a little) with the Blazepro Wii Classic Controller, an alternative to Nintendo's own dual-stick pad for your Nintendo 64 gaming goodness. Meanwhile, some snoops at Spong found an honest-to-goodness Nintendo patent for what looks to be an official classic controller attachment that combines motion control with the Wii's iconic infrared motion control. As far as availability, the Blazepro can be had now for just $14, but the official Nintendo attachment is still in fantasy patent land.
