If you want motion controls on your PC, then the Razer Hydra may be of interest. But do you want motion controls for your PC games?

Razer's budget Electra offering tests the definition of what is a gaming headset, and (spoiler) not in a good way.

A little variable in its wired and wireless performance, and far too expensive to forgive the problems

A decent Razer keyboard, with a neat design aesthetic, but that price and those clicky keys do nothing for us.

Following hot on the crazy-priced heels of the Mad Catz STRIKE 7 gaming keyboard comes this ultra stylish, ultra techie riposte from peripherals guru Razer.

Subtlety isn't on the agenda for Razer. The Megalodon headset is supplied in a black and green box, packed in a ludicrously large foam-padded case.

A gamepad packed with nifty features

The Razer Mako 2.1 speaker set is absolutely phenomenal. Without a shadow of a doubt, it's the best looking and best sounding 2.1 desktop system we've ever come across. And that's high praise indeed, because there are some pretty damn good PC speaker systems out there.

Golly, two Razer products in two months that I actually like. Maybe this Cult of Razer thing is more insidious than I previously gave it credit for, or maybe it’s just because first the Destructor mouse pad and now the Lycosa keyboard are actually well designed, extremely useable PC peripherals.

Rarely have I been that complimentary about Razer's mice creations in the past, but they sure can make a mouse pad. The Destructor is about the finest surface you can play games on short of a fractal-coated maiden on all fours.

This glossy black luxury deck is the sharp-suited Italian gent of the test. From the mirror-finish black chassis to the softly pulsing blue Razer logo, it's a reet sexy keyboard and, like the Enermax Aurora, and acts as a two-port USB hub

We're not exactly sure where the fashion for neon blue lights on Macperipherals has come from, although we have a sneaking suspicion that it could be overspill from custom car design. The blue strip on the Razer Pro v1.6 is purely decorative
