Wireless Video Game Controllers Gain Steam | |

If you think video game consoles have taken over the living room, look out: your kitchen or dining room may be next, thanks to the slew of wireless game controllers set to hit the market this year. For most of the past two decades, home video games have come equipped with controllers -- also called gamepads -- with a trailing 8-10 foot (3 meter) wire that allowed the user to shoot aliens, jump over mushrooms and otherwise play games. At the Electronics Entertainment Expo, the industry's major trade show, several companies including peripheral maker Logitech International SA showcased cordless gamepads that allow users to keep their games going from as far as 30 feet away from the console. The devices feature fast reaction times and little or no interference from cordless phones and human bodies that might cross between the gamepad and the device. | ||
