'Extreme', 'Attack', 'Dual Action' - with titles like these, we are in gaming territory. They are some of the names for new gaming control devices from Logitech.

Its summer line up of controllers now includes: the Logitech Extreme 3D Pro joystick, the Logitech Attack 3 joystick, and the Logitech Dual Action Pad gamepad. They carry RRPs of £29.99, £19.99 and £19.99, respectively.

Both joysticks are compatible with PCs and Macs, and feature a weighted base and a 'centring spring' for smooth handle movements.

As for the gamepad, Logitech claims it has incorporated the most desirable features that gamers have been requesting. Specifically, a lightweight design includes two rubber-capped analogue joysticks, an eight-way D-pad for precise movements within a game, and four triggers and six buttons.

'Because we remain committed to this audience, we are introducing products designed to enhance the gaming experience, especially for the highly anticipated new titles scheduled to launch over the next eighteen months,' said Fred Swan, director of marketing for Logitech's Audio and Interactive Entertainment Business Unit. 'We believe there are many devoted PC gaming fans who will appreciate the fresh new hardware choices that we're offering.'
