[Sai]

Meh, I dunno how many people will actually buy one of these...but I do agree it's a pretty cool concept.

[DrKurto]

nice!
i will try this glove, it looks like supercoolfuturemeganerdtimestyle!

[GGreenBass]

Huh. That seems really cool, buuuut I still don't understand how to use it- their website is verrrrrry vague on this subject. On top of that, it appears that you'd have to keep your wrists constantly suspended, which could be tiring. However, solve the first problem and throw in the ability to use a Right-handed glove with cursor functionality and they'll have me sold. I've been dreaming of these for a looooong time x3 (I didn't know they existed)

[Crimzors]

Pretty cool gimmick but i don't see how this would be anyway better than the keyboard and still being worth the price.

[knallfrosch]

How much $$$ do you get for advertising this here?

[Xitras]

$150 for something less useful than a keyboard. No thank you.

[Solace`]

pretty neat item, appreciate the offer

[zhurai]

would have wanted to buy it...but I don't have money atm (money is quite tight here now... :/)

[CRISPYCRAB]

most people that play hon these days have their other hand down below while playing so i think you're targeting the wrong market.

[IceOut]

meh it still costs over 100$ why teh **** would i by taht glove for a 0.10 s faster reaction time when i can by a keyboard for 1,50$ and when i get raging i wouldnt feel sorry for smashing it

[Dadoon]

I wonder if that could be also used for 3d modelling (more like sculpting then I guess)?

You know, like these special 3-axis mouses.

[Lugtor]

nice concept but way to expensive for no real gain.

[MagicCake]

I like it, I might buy it! I love new futuristic technologies my only concern is my using it with the way my computer is set up. The cord that attaches to the glove looks like it might be to short.

[Starkers]

I love the powerglove. :AlchemistBones: It's so bad.

[Hi]

that would be amazing

[Berra_la]

Cool! Now I can bind all my inventory to quickly access!!

... oh wait. I have a gaming mouse that does that already.

[weirdballs]

this thing is legit... i was talkin to a gamer girl about it at CES... its really clutch to be able to use your items in your inventory quicker than then the enemy can kill you...

the only thing is they should of done more planning on the price range though...

[TechnoBtch]

that's a good news ^^,

[Turkaso]

Thanks for the Offer Lulu ;)

XD You know what they say: You will know how much you can trust a person by how good of a sammich they make.

[Isin]

I guess it's kinda cool but what if you get an itch, or feel like stretching your fingers?

*presses ult button by accident* FFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUU-

[IceOut]

why would i buy that when i got my hand on one of these http://cyborggaming.com/prod/rat7.htm

[Axiom]

Congratulations, you're, a not so proud owner(I hope) of the world's ugliest mouse.

then u sir need ur eyes checked

[KjetilV]

WTF is that ugly thing? Man the harpoons!

[IceOut]

WTF is that ugly thing? Man the harpoons!

its just the best gaming mouse in the world right now but i dont have it i have first cyborg mouse but that r.a.t. 7 look awesome

[dongtator]

holy **** what a ugly mouse

[JOSHPFANBOY]

Well.. this is different..

The best alternative to a mouse or keyboard is the novient falcon. FPS in super fun mode.

[Bangatron]

i like the concept of being able to use my items with such good reaction time, i struggle atm, but thats because ive been to lazy to change the bindings to make it easyer for myself, but yer im not paying $200 for it, if it was under 100 AU id probably consider it

[Duker]

why would i buy that when i got my hand on one of these http://cyborggaming.com/prod/rat7.htm I really need to thank you for posting that, I need to get one of those now.



On the note on peregrine glove, it seems really cool to try out, but not really worth it's price, even with the discount.

[HunteR_]

I got one coming! Can't wait to try it out! Thanks Peregrine

[_RaZieL_]

Man i love technology, speaking of which, make HON 3d Vision compatible so that i can have a brain anuerism while im playing! that mouse looks really handy albeit unusual(likewise with the keyboard) wouldnt mind owning either of them really

[ReKRaD]

great idea, but worthless to me since I am a leftie.
Seen no option for a right hand version. Won't be purchasing apparently.

[BASH]

I am a leftie to, but I use my right hand to interact with the mouse. :>

[AnarchyMoM]

really dont see a use for the glove when it comes to HoN. I mean with customizable key bindings mouse and keyboard work perfectly fine. I use a razer mouse and keyboard so anything i really need to change i can go in and change it. So no not buying the glove.

maybe be for other games i could see a use for it, but a game with as few buttons as hon has i just cant justify buying the glove.

as for the cyborg products cool concepts but i just hate how they look, to complex but yet still a raw/barebone look to them

[havoc]

Cool tech is rarely ever worth the price anyways. I'd consider buying this if I still played dota since war3 controls are abysmal but in HoN i can just map my keys properly.

That said, if I played something like Stepmania this glove would be a god send. ****, i'd buy two to play rock band with so that I didnt have to hold a plastic guitar and pretend that it even remotely resembles playing a real guitar (drums are where its at anyways)

[carNage]

why would i buy that when i got my hand on one of these http://cyborggaming.com/prod/rat7.htm

this mouse looks like some kind of transformer toy u can turn into an airplane/car or whatever lol

btt: ill stick to my powerglove

http://www.club-nintendo.ch/boutique-2007/images/powerglove.jpg

[iBringer]

Tbh these look.. freakin awesome a must buy. Once I get a new pc, order HoN this will be bought. Definately. Lol at haters, this here is a new level of gaming experience :D

[KaylaniLei]

oh well if a girl told you that than it must be true.


hahah.. she would probably rape you...

pun intended... lol

:valk:

[F8]

Far too overpriced. If it were $100 or less, I'd have a 90% chance of buying one. But until that price drops, that percentage remains at a measly 10%.

Chances don't look good.

[MagicCake]

I bought one and have yet to receive it.

When I bought it the money was subtracted right away (of course) and I received an email with my Order ID and a receipt telling me I would have to wait 2~3 weeks (quoted directly from email) "to receive your new Peregrine Gaming Glove"

It has been 3 weeks and some days now and I have yet to receive any notification that it was even shipped (an email with a tracking ID?) so naturally I've emailed their customer support (about 2~3 days go) and have yet to get an email back about my concerns...

I can see that Iron Will Innovations who is trying to change gaming with their product really care about the people who actually buy it... bravo

I would consider refunding it

[assembly]

I'd buy one if they had it for left-handed people. But they donut.

[Dawns_Hammer]

whats up guys, ive been using the peregrine for a real long time. And i cant go back to using a keyboard! it makes things sooooo much easier. i have all my items, attack, hold, abilities, fort and taunt on my glove. all by touching 2 fingers together. and i use it for other games too. its a lot quicker. anywho, thats just my input.

[SLeePz]

I'd buy one if they had it for left-handed people. But they donut.

so your saying the glove is for right handed people?

99% of gamers use the mouse with their right hand

[strikermodel]

ya I'm left handed and I use my right hand for the mouse.

[maki666]

hhehehehe.......

[Trippler]

The pinguin glove! :O

most people that play hon these days have their other hand down below while playing so i think you're targeting the wrong market.

/thread

cool concept but i don't see it ever working as intended, id almost be willing to give it a try because i like little gadgets like this, but not at that price. $85 ~ sounds about fair.

[reborn]

I've got one on the way and I'll definitely give it a try. I don't consider the price that bad although I think they would sell more at a $100 price point.

I do know they are having some issues with their manufacturing right now and I received two emails from support letting me know there would be a delay in receiving the glove. I'm sure they'll get it figured out and start cranking them out much quicker in the near future.

[Comfortabull]

Ive gotten one of these back when it was bleeding edge (not this company but same concept) and trust me, while the concept is nice, the tech just doesnt cut it. The game i tested it on was counter strike, and it was too obnoxious to use, and it just hindered my gameplay.

Stick with the mouse and keyboard until they can fully realize the brain controller (http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=head-games-video-controller-brain) concept imo.

[brn4meplz]

If S2 gets any discounts of cut or puncture resistant gloves let me know. I'd gladly receive a discount on that.

[Happy_Meal]

this would be a good idea if you had a hard time with the keyboard because of heath problems.

[Clown_School]

this is the nerdiest device i've ever seen. Im just picturing some fat dude rocking one of these on each hand sitting there casting spells in front of his computer...

[TeamArachna]

is the retail today may 12??http://www.speedtest.net/result/811634802.png (http://www.speedtest.net)

[SirJefferE]

Looks kind of cool, but the website was way too vague for me to even consider spending that amount of money on it. I might try it out for laughs once it's down to $50 or so, but I think I've played with a mouse and keyboard too often to want to change that.


Edit: After rereading a few things, it actually looks like a terrible disadvantage. You touch every button with your thumb?

Back when I played Worms Armageddon I quickly learned that while roping (basically pressing space really fast) it was extremely important to switch to using your finger on the space key, solely because your thumb just isn't fast enough. It's not a very efficient digit for pushing buttons with. Go on, do a few basic tests:

Test 1: Press the space bar ten times as fast as you can with your thumb, and then with your finger.

Test 2: Press four different spots on your hand with your thumb (pretending you're using the glove) and then press any combination of the QWER keys (pretending that you're casting HoN spells).

In both tests: Which one had faster reaction time? Which was easier to do?

Personally, I'd pick keyboard every time. Sorry Peregrine :( cool concept, but no thanks.

Edit2: Again, this is for HoN only. Something like this might be moderately useful for a game that constantly used 30 different hotkeys. But I've never really played a game like that, ah well.

[Q_efx]

I will not buy something like this, I guess after useing it for one year. One arm will look like arnold schwarzennegger, and one arm like pinocio :)

If that were the case, they'd be advertising it like crazy.

same story here :/

[Aesij]

"A team was built in Canada and the United States. Manufacturing was set up in China."A US/Canadian company moving manufacturing overseas, that's really going to make US/Canadians want to buy their product(sarcasm).

They probably picked one of the worst games to target to sell this product,

"The Glove is way faster. I program my attack commands on my thumb and fingers, and there?s no reaching for a key or looking down to see where the hotkeys are ? I can just touch my fingers... shave a quarter- to a half-second off"What kind of idiot has to look down at their keyboard to hit keys playing a game like Heroes of Newerth?

For most heroes in the game there are only 6 keys necessary to play: the 4 spell keys, the A key, and the S key. All of these keys are right next to each other, the hand doesn't even have to move; but with a gaming glove like the Peregrine, someone not only has to move their fingers, they have to move their thumb as well, and the fingers have to move much more than they would on a keyboard.

The glove is much slower in a game like HoN than a keyboard ever would be.

Anyone seen with such an item like this glove would be mocked by people around them, because they are a fool and were conned into buying it.

edit: just noticed they are asking $149 for the glove, I was assuming it would be in the $20-40 range. What a joke.

[SirJefferE]

That's pretty awesome.

If you take any more than a fifth of a second to press any key on your keyboard, you're doing it wrong.

[Kaden23]

damn i want one but they dont have extra small (i always have this problem *sigh* )
hopefully they make it soon.

I figured the point in the glove was to have more keys at hand, for example, having full use of your skill keys, item keys, push to talk keys, and some option toggles, without having to move your hand over to i, n, ', you know, things on the other side of the keyboard. I have no problem dropping $150 on a chance to improve my gaming experience for HoN or MMOs I play, my only problem is the fact that I ordered it 4 weeks ago and it hasn't even shipped yet >.<

QWERT
ASDFG
ZXCVB

15 customizable buttons that I barely have to twitch my hand to reach, fully benefitting from the thousands of hours of experience I have typing on them (120-140 WPM).

There's really nothing I could do with a glove that requires the use of my thumb for every single button I press.

...Still, it does look neat somehow. I'm not sure why, but I get the feeling that I'd like to find a use for one, just so I could try it out.

[KnightDavion]

I bought one. It hasnt arrived but I can tell you I didnt get the 20 dollar discount they advertised.

Anyways it looks cool and I can see it being faster for me. Im stuck with QWER and F as the only hotkeys I can dependably hit fast in a fight. Other people are better on the keyboard than I am so they may not have any need for something like this.

I can see this working very well for me by opening up more usable hotkeys without any effort.

[Minimized]

I will not buy something like this, I guess after useing it for one year. One arm will look like arnold schwarzennegger, and one arm like pinocio :)
We all know what you use your right hand for at night, and the glove goes on the left. So in the end it should even out.

[Desirable]

Any reviews by the people that bought the glove so far?

[jorge69696]

QWER
S(stop+hold)
ALT+QWE

[darthproz2]

This would be a cool product if the roles were reversed, meaning you use the glove as the mouse and tapping with your pointer finger for left click and middle finger for right click. THEN I would have bought this. :)

[Kartalov]

so what are these gloves for ? Gaming ?

I hope not for bees. lulz

[BIurb]

Any reviews by the people that bought the glove so far?

My review at this point is:

it took 2 months for the glove to get here, and it turns out their sizing chart is wrong and I need a large not a medium, medium completely cuts off my circulation, yet when I used their sizing chart, it said I was on the border of a medium and a small >_>

[NoskillzNils]

I wish i purchased one. / Had the money for one

Then you fail at sizing, I got a medium and it was a medium on chart. And I needed a medium.

[CallofDuty5]

hmmm that all depends on your resolution n stuff unless you actually print it
man they take so damn long to get here tho when it says 2-3 weeks

[Phogue]

mine took 3 weeks, and it even got send to denmark and then back to america again and THEN to denmark again....

[Phogue]

where i live, in denmark

[Moreepo]

Dont like the idea :(

[cr1zz]

I love this gloves, but just too expensive ;)

[Sshado]

It works like a charm. Only took one or two practice matches to get used to it and now I'm flying with items/commands in game.

[ltranCel]

its useless

[Sheriff]

why dont they just focus on making the instant computerized sammich maker thats eluded men for oh so long

[Kaelillidan]

ROFL! with their head up their you know what? lolol.
