The Peregrine Details

"What operating systems does it work on? Windows? Mac OS X? Linux?"

The Peregrine hardware uses standard HID keyboard drivers and will work on Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux. The configuration software that allows you to assign keys and calibrate the glove is currently available for Windows, and a Mac version is on the way. Once you have configured the device, you can plug it into any system that uses standard keyboard drivers (Windows, Mac OS X and Linux) and The Peregrine will keep its stored settings, and just work!

"Can I type with it on?"

Yes! No actions are executed unless a Touch Point comes in contact with an Action Pad, so you can use your keyboard normally with the glove on. With a little practice, most users can reach their desired WPM while typing with the glove on.

"Why is the pod wired? Is there a wireless version coming?"

It was determined that in order to get the absolute best reaction time from The Peregrine to your computer, we needed to go wired. In our years of testing, we found that all of the world’s best professional gamers use wired peripherals in order to maintain the best performance possible. While we will still eventually roll out a wireless version, we found that after a little while, most gamers didn’t even notice the cord during daily sessions at their computers.

"Is The Peregrine in left-handed and right-handed versions?"

The Peregrine is currently only available for the left hand. It’s designed for gamers who use their right hand to mouse, and their left hand to type. But don’t worry, lefty mouse users, we won’t forget about you. We’re working on it. Just give us some time.

"Will there be different glove colors and styles?"

We’ll release different styles and colors in the future, and even plan to eventually release customized gloves to go with specific games. As new glove styles come out, users will be able to simply snap their existing pod into the new glove, and keep gaming without missing a beat.

"Isn’t my hand going to get sweaty?"

May we assuage your fears! The glove is ventilated and completely breathable. Some users have reported suffering sweatier hands while using their keyboards as compared to flying high and dry with the glove. Our hardcore testers have played for over 8 hours continuously with the glove on and have reported no sweating issues.

"Can I wash The Peregrine?"

The glove is designed to be (gently) hand washed. So, give it a bit of warm soap and water, some time to dry, and you’ll be ready to go again.
