FlexStrike Wireless Fighting Stick: Ultra-low latency of 4ms, comes with a dedicated carrying case.
This wireless fighting game stick, called FlexStrike, was designed by Sony specifically for the fighting game community and new players.
To alleviate fighting gamers' concerns about "wireless latency," FlexStrike utilizes proprietary PlayStation Link technology, achieving ultra-low latency of as low as 4 milliseconds and boasting up to 40 hours of battery life. Furthermore, FlexStrike features shorter, specially designed digital joysticks that improve responsiveness. Its magnetic bottom cover allows for easy replacement of joystick restrictor gates (available in square, round, and octagonal shapes) in seconds without the need for screwdrivers, quickly adapting to different control feels.
FlexStrike建議售價為199.99美元 (新台幣建議售價為6580元)，包裝內將直接附贈一個專屬的斜肩攜行包，方便玩家將搖桿帶去參加線下賽事或朋友聚會。產品將於6月12日開放預購，並且在8月6日正式上市。
However, PC gamers may have to wait a little longer. Sony stated on its official blog that FlexStrike will fully support PlayStation 5 at launch, but PC compatibility updates will be rolled out gradually after release, with support expanding over time.
27-inch gaming monitor: A new desktop favorite combining storage and charging.
In addition to fighting game peripherals, Sony has finally announced release details for the monitor that debuted at the end of last year. This 27-inch gaming monitor, with a built-in DualSense charging hook, is clearly targeted at gamers who want a high-quality PlayStation 5 experience on their personal desktop.
It features a 27-inch QHD (2560×1440) IPS display panel that supports VRR (Variable Refresh Rate) and HDR display. When connected to a PlayStation 5 or PlayStation 5 Pro, it supports a maximum refresh rate of 120Hz, and when connected to a compatible PC or Mac for gaming, the refresh rate can be further increased to 240Hz.
A set of foldable hooks is hidden behind the screen, which can not only be used to hang the DualSense controller, but also to charge the controller or other peripherals directly through the USB-C interface, greatly simplifying the mess of desktop cables.
The suggested retail price for this monitor is US$349.99 (approximately NT$11200). It is expected to be available for pre-order on PlayStation Direct and Best Buy starting June 5th in the US, and will be launched first in the US and Japanese markets on August 27th. It is not yet confirmed whether it will be introduced to the Taiwan market.
As for the other highly anticipated Pulse Elevate wireless speaker, which features planar diaphragm driver technology, Sony has not yet announced the specific price, only confirming that it will be officially launched "later this year".
