Logitech Intros Premiere Edition of Wireless Guitar Controller for Guitar Hero

As you might know (some of you even first hand), Activision's Guitar Hero game has brought about a revolution in gaming, people from all around the world competing in order to enjoy the status of "rock star" among their friends. And the "obsession" created by this game has reached such a level that it convinced the designers and engineers from Logitech to launch the Premiere Edition of Wireless Guitar Controller for Guitar Hero, a gaming accessory that mimics to a very good extent a real musical instrument.

The new gaming peripheral from Logitech tries to promote a sense of "real," 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 to a minimum, Logitech used rubber dome technology on the fret board controls, while at 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.

The Premiere Edition of Wireless Guitar Controller for Guitar Hero from Logitech is licensed by Activision Publishing for all the series of Guitar Hero games (current and future), and has an estimated retail price of around 250 US dollars.
