Gaming is serious business. The game industry alone is worth US$74 billion (yes, with a b) in 2011 and the numbers are rising. Chances are, you have several games going on on your smartphone and you have one or two consoles at home equipped for some heavy gaming sessions. But if you want to talk about extreme gaming pieces – let’s just limit it to PC this time – then you will definitely love today’s showcase.

Manufacturers across the globe have been coming up with gaming devices beyond just the mice, joysticks and keyboards for years. Some are built for durability, others for added functionality and an enhanced gaming experience. Most of them are futuristic and sleek but all of them are for built for one purpose, to give the best darn gaming session hardcore gamers deserve.
