The Nokia-Monster relationship bears further fruit with the Purity Pro-- a wireless successor to the Monster-branded Purity HD headset, now with Bluetooth and NFC connectivity.

Monster provides audio and active noise cancellation technologies, with feed forward and feedback features for ambient and percussive noise cancellation.

Designed to "perfectly match your Lumia," the Purity Pro ship in 4 colours (black, red, yellow, white) from October 2012. Can we assume the colour selection matches that of a soon-announced future Lumia device or two?

SteelSeries launches the Freedom to Play family at Gamescom 2012-- a peripheral series ideal for mobile device users, complete with controllers and headsets.

"The SteelSeries Freedom to Play product line-up is designed for players who want to play and experience more than just swiping and word games on their tablets and phones,” the company claims.

The product family includes the Free Mobile Gaming Controller, a wireless Android- and iOS-compatible Bluetooth controller. It has a button layout similar to the Playstation controller and a rechargeable battery hosting up to 10 hours of "non-stop playtime."

Mobile device users also get the Free Touchscreen controls-- conductive rubber suction cups users can stick on a touchscreen to mimic the "feel" of physical controller buttons.

Headsets come in two varieties-- the customisable Flux Headset (a cross-platform, on-ear headset) and the Flux In-Ear Pro Headset.

With Windows 8 to launch in October, your customers will want upgrades on their Microsoft peripherals selection: for example, wireless and tablet-friendly keyboards and mice.

Most interesting are the Wedge Touch Mouse and Keyboard-- Bluetooth-enabled compact devices with Windows 8 features (such as shortcut keys) and pleasing industrial design.

The Wedge Touch Mouse features 4-way scrolling and Bluetrack technology, allowing customers to use it on any surface. Meanwhile the Wedge Keyboard has a removable cover that doubles as a multi-angle (via centre joint) tablet stand and a set of hotkeys for launching Windows 8 menu functions.

The Explorer Touch Mouse and Bluetooth Mobile Keyboard 5000 get an update, and are now the Sculpt Touch Mouse and Sculpt Mobile Keyboard-- thanks to extra Windows 8 functions and a change of Windows logo.

For 30 years, the Microsoft Hardware Group has successfully sold PC peripherals, a fact that many observers forget when they argue the software giant has little or no experience in hardware.  In the rat race to sell mice and keyboards, Microsoft succeeds in selling brand and product quality against the The Horde of cheap, brand-less Asian manufacturers. This is a tour de force equal to HP holding the number one position in printers.
