Hybrid Computer Gamepads

Chameleon X-1 Assassin's Creed Mouse Has a Slick New Look

— January 3, 2012 — Tech
Shogun Bros. has given its hybrid gamepad a completely new look with the Chameleon X-1 Assassin's Creed mouse, and fans of the game in the title will definitely be happy.

As the title suggests, the Chameleon X-1 Assassin's Creed mouse design revolves around the popular console game. One of the most noticeable features on the mouse are the leathered buttons, complete with rivets which makes the device look incredibly stylish. At the very back of the mouse is the Assassin's Creed 'A' insignia as a nod to the game. Aside from its looks, the piece has not changed much. The backside has the same gamepad function and the specs remain relatively the same; it still has 1600dpi and an updated version of the 16 button wireless doodad.

Look for the Assassin's Creed version of the Chameleon X-1 to make its debut at CES 2012.
