Focused mainly on high end PC peripherals, Logitech is one of the most well-respected IT companies when it comes to advanced keyboards, mice and other devices. Founded in 1981 in Switzerland, the company is currently leading the way for enthusiast grade peripherals with not too many direct competitors to challenge it.

One of the most interesting gaming peripherals released by Logitech was introduced back in October 2008, and was designed especially for the hardcore fans of the “Guitar Hero” franchise. Dubbed Premiere Edition of the Wireless Guitar Controller, this peripheral is designed to work with Sony's famous video gaming consoles, the PS3 and the PS2, and targets especially those people who really take pride in their “virtual” rocking skills.

The main idea behind the gaming peripheral from Logitech is to create a product that comes as close to the “real” thing as possible, since it's manufactured from pretty much the exact same materials one might expect to encounter in the case of a real rock guitar, as for example metal frets and metal tuning peg handles, rosewood fingerboard and wood neck. Moreover, in order to match this very attractive wood neck, the Wireless Guitar Controller features a crimson body.

Additionally, in order to keep the button noise at a minimum, Logitech has used rubber dome technology on the fret board controls, while in the same time the guitar controller also incorporates a New Touch-Sensitive Neck Slider, located so strumming is not always necessary to rack up the points.

The Logitech Wireless Guitar Controller uses 2.4 GHz wireless technology to provide a range of up to 30 feet (or 10 meters) from the console. In addition, the gaming accessory is accompanied by a gig bag that protects the guitar and provides pocket space for your game discs and wireless receivers. The device requires only 2 AA batteries in order to operate, which provide an estimated functioning life of a few hundred hours.

Logitech's gaming peripheral sells for an estimate 250 US dollars, which is by no means a small sum, but it's probably worth it, given the quality of the build and the attention for details it delivers.
