Gamer:
Belkin Nostromo n30 Game Mouse		Ideazon Zboard		Logitech Freedom 2.4 cordless joystick
Belkin's unique gaming mouse is the only device we could find that melds the vibrating sensations common to gaming devices with the typical navigational function of a mouse. However, serious gamers might not find it as fun as their trusty joystick, and it's too boxy for frequent use.		There aren't many products that redefine the keyboard, but Ideazon's Zboard does just that, allowing users to remove the entire keyboard interface and replace it with a variety of application-specific boards. This keyboard system has exciting possibilities for gamers and application trainees, but advanced users will probably find the inlays annoying to type on.		Logitech has significant street cred as a gaming-peripheral maker, and its $69.95 Freedom 2.4 cordless joystick cements that reputation with its wireless connectivity and all-you-could-want control set. This joystick is worthy of a spot in any die-hard gamer's arsenal.
