Logitech, previously, released the Harmony Remote Controls for Sony’s PS3. Now Logitech has announced its Wireless Guitar Controller for the PS2 and PS3 with a wooden body and neck, a fret board made of rosewood and metal frets. Earlier, the company had released the Logitech Guitar Controller Premium Edition which was only available in select markets. But the new black guitar controller will be released worldwide and is licensed for the Guitar Hero franchise by Activision Publishing.
“Logitech’s new guitar controller delivers the same unparalleled Guitar Hero experience offered by our previous premiere edition to an even broader group of gamers and at a great value,” Logitech’s director of product marketing for gaming, Ruben Mookerjee stated. “Everything about the Logitech Wireless Guitar Controller is premium – from the authentic wood material and flawless black finish, to the noise-dampening design of the strum bar and buttons, to the authentic accents provided by the metal frets.”
The Logitech Wireless Guitar Controller features the rubber dome technology for the buttons to reduce noise. The controller also has a touch sensitive slider on its neck and offers gamers a contoured one-piece wood body. It has a wireless range of 30 feet giving payers the freedom to move about as they jam to the on-screen beats, and the controller boasts of hundreds of hours of battery life so as to last for those long rocking sessions into the wee hours of the morning.
In the US, the Logitech Wireless Guitar Controller for the PS2 and PS3 is scheduled to be available later this month for a price of 199.99 USD (approx. Rs. 9,875). While in the UK the controller will be available in June, with no European prices announced. The Logitech device will come with a black finish and will be complemented by a black pick-guard.
