Alienware Unveils Major Expansion to Augment its Growing Peripheral Ecosystem

press release

Alienware is doubling the size of their peripheral suite with options targeting a range of playing styles, tailored experiences and price points. From the deskbound, marathon PC gamers to the maverick who manoeuvres throughout multiple gaming environments, our growing ecosystem delivers reliable high-performance gear to span more lifestyles than ever before.

We hope you tuned into our Alienware Update launch event where we welcomed two new high-fidelity headsets (AW720H and AW520H), our first ever gaming wireless keyboard[i] (AW920K), and a sculpted right-handed wireless mouse (AW620M). Pairing effortlessly across the Alienware ecosystem, these new peripherals work in unison with your existing setup to help ensure comfortable, uninterrupted gameplay.

Two new headsets with easy-to-reach controls and crisp audio via Dolby Atmos

Available 31st March 2023, Alienware’s Dual Mode Wireless Gaming Headset (AW720H) is designed for gamers seeking all-day comfort and immersion. Upon unboxing, you will first notice a wider suspension headband that promotes long-term comfort and soft memory foam ear cups wrapped in a breathable fabric to help keep your head cool when it’s needed most. Once you put the AW720H on, adjust the sliding suspension band for a more personalized fit. Now you are ready to get connected by choosing between a reliable 2.4GHz USB-C wireless dongle PC connection or versatile 3.5mm wired integration that offers the flexibility to use your headset with other devices or compatible consoles[ii].

Detailed, precise audio is delivered with 40mm hi-res certified drivers and Dolby Atmos, creating 3D surround sound that is designed to amplify every in-game detail – from multiplayer games, RPGs, MMORPGs and any genre in between. The AI noise-cancelling boom microphone helps reduce the impact of ambient sounds on your voice, allowing for crisp communication amongst your friends during high intensity gaming sessions and leaving you with detailed game audio to keep you a step ahead of your opponent’s next move. Use the on-headset controls to easily adjust and balance the game/chat volume without needing to tab out mid-game or lose focus on the quest at hand.

AW720H offers an impressive battery life of up to 30 hours[iii] and fast-charging capabilities that let you get up to six hours of battery life from just 15 minutes of charging. After a long day of gaming, retract the boom mic and tuck it away on the headset hanger of one of our latest Alienware displays.

If you prefer a wired connection, our new Alienware Wired Gaming Headset (AW520H) delivers many similar features as the AW720H, as is it both lightweight and adjustable, supporting longer wear during extended gaming sessions.

Comfort, precision and accuracy: meet our new wireless gaming mouse

 Created with right-handed gamers in mind, the new Alienware Wireless Gaming Mouse (AW620M) prioritises comfort, precision and accuracy, featuring our leading-edge sensor technology and patent-pending magnetic-force L/R keyplates. With up to 26,000 DPI, 650 IPS, and 50G max acceleration, you can expect speedy, accurate clicking and no angle snapping for reliable precision. For marathon gaming sessions, the 2.4GHz wireless dongle connection offers up to 140 hours of battery life on a PC[iv], and if you’re in a pinch, quickly recharge for just five minutes to get up to 10 hours of continuous gameplay[v].

Joining our full range of symmetrical gaming mice (720M, 610M and 320M) this new full-size right-handed mouse features an asymmetrical shape designed for long-lasting comfort along with a dedicated thumb channel to accommodate palm-style grips, which are ideal for RPG & MMO games. The tactile, textured grip zones offer complete control, and the DPI slider placement on the top of the mouse allows for easy DPI selection while in game. It has a balanced weight and comes with a lightweight USB paracord cable along with a 1000Hz wireless polling and dongle extender to experience virtually lag-free performance. 

Dial it all in with Alienware Command Centre, the ultimate in customization and convenience

 Each of these new peripherals can be harmoniously connected to your gaming ecosystem and easily managed by Alienware Command Centre (AWCC), a centralized hub that allows quick access to settings such as game-specific profiles and themes, lighting, macros, audio controls and overclocking[vi]. With our new peripherals, you can easily customize AlienFX settings  such as lighting effects and colours, on each device individually, in groups, or by game title. Command Centre 5.5 is free and available for anyone to download, as long as your PC meets the tech requirements.

Available next week only on our new 2023 Alienware and G Series laptop lineup[vii] is Command Centre 6.0, which has been completely redesigned. This is more than just a software update; it is a new architecture – built from the ground up – featuring a new, intuitive, and dynamic user design.
