Over recent years, I have come to value sound quality and comfort above all else in a headset. Sound quality is especially important for gaming, as well as for music. That’s why I was excited to review Turtle Beach’s Elite Pro 2 + SuperAmp for PS4 and PS4 Pro (“PS4 Elite Pro 2”) over-ear headset.

It’s very rare that I do not like first-party controllers, but the Nintendo Switch’s Joy-Cons are one such example. They have no weight to them and when in the Grip, they sit at an odd angle on a table which makes them impossible for me to use. So I began looking for alternatives, specifically ones that don’t cost $70 USD like the official Pro Controller. This led to me to try the FastSnail Controller Converter (which I later discovered doesn’t work with the PS4 StrikePack F.P.S. Dominator), and the 8BitDo F30 Pro controller.

Being only able to use my right hand, I’m always looking for peripherals that will make things easier for me, whether it’s using the computer or gaming. Over the years, I have used a number of different controllers, and have contemplated getting a custom controller like a SCUF, but ultimately, the cost has deterred me. However, I have discovered the PS4 StrikePack F.P.S. Dominator by Collective Minds Gaming Co. Ltd.. The question still remains though: How is it?

Help with accessibility in games can come from the most unexpected places, such as peripherals not designed for accessibility. The Storm Chaser Gamepad is one such thing. It’s a PS2 controller made by peripheral manufacturer InterAct. On paper, it sounds like a perfect storm, but should InterAct have taken more precautions before chasing? Since the initial release of MadCatz’s Street Fighter IV FightPads, I’ve been saying that we need regular controllers with 6 buttons. Little did I know however that there was one. Coming across the Storm Chaser was a happy accident. A friend of mine, Tim, who runs a used game store called Game Craze found it in back and saved it for me.

Mass-produced accessible controllers are hardly commonplace. While this is unfortunate, it’s also the truth. Most times we have to rely on the modding community for accessible controllers. Luckily, the UK-based ConsolesandGadgets.com has released their "PS2 One Handed Controller." The PS2 One Handed Controller seems to be a reproduction of the now-discontinued DragonPlus RPG Duo Con 2. I say "seems," because I’ve never had the latter, only the former. I came across the PS2 One Handed Controller while researching accessible controllers, a couple years ago. While it did take me a year to purchase one, and it’s far from perfect; I can say that it’s one of the best buys I’ve made.

Mad Catz has released a new TRITTON headset for the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita, and that can be used for everyday audio. This is something I was hoping for since I tried my AX 180 a few months ago. The sound quality of TRITTON on the go. The question is, however, how is the new TRITTON PlayStation Kunai Stereo Headset? As I said in my previous review, gaming headsets have become the fastest growing 3rd party accessory for the 360. TRITTON has a rich history, creating gaming headsets for the 360 since its start. TRITTON also offers a complete line of headsets for the 360 and PS3, whereas other manufactures trying to enter this category only offer a limited range.

Not only do competitive gamers rely on their controllers, but some also rely on headsets. Especially in fighting game tournaments, you will see a good chunk of the competitors wearing headsets. Not only do quality headsets allow you to hear everything, they also help to dissipate outside noise. This helps players concentrate more, even competing in front of 500+ of their peers. Mad Catz has released a new addition to their TRITTON brand of gaming headsets: TRITTON PRO+ True 5.1 Surround Sound Headset. A few months ago, I purchased a TRITTON AX 180 headset, and I loved it. So, when the PRO+ was announced, I was psyched, especially considering it's at least 3 tiers above the 180. The TRITTON PRO+ is the upgraded version of the award winning TRITTON AX Pro, and is compatible with both Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.
