Deep in the belly of a London gaming club, Philips has launched its first gaming peripherals, the newest additions to its Evnia gaming brand. There I had the chance to get my hands on its new gaming headset, keyboard, and mouse. And I've come away feeling a little unsure about Philips' new gamer gear. In particular when it comes to Envia's restrictiveness with colour and whether, in my experience, the various gaming peripherals will live up to their final pricing.
There I was in Platform—Canary Wharf's newest Philips-supported gaming bar—where stood rows upon rows of booths, littered with exceptionally large Philips TVs. The place was partially 'manned' by a winking, dancing robot which sort of frightened most of us, but I was able to sneak past our new robot overlord for some light headset, mouse, and keyboard testing.
