Sony Unveils First Gaming Keyboard, Mouse, And More New PC Gear

Sony is expanding its Inzone gaming lineup with a high-end gaming keyboard and mouse, a new wireless headset, in-ear monitors, and desk mats

Sony is also releasing a new flagship Inzone H9 II wireless gaming headset with ANC and audio drivers based on its new WH-1000XM6 headphones. Perhaps the most niche addition to the series is the Inzone E9, a pair of wired $150 earbuds. All of the new Sony Inzone gaming accessories launch August 29 or September 5, and preorders open today at Amazon, Best Buy, and Sony. Here's a quick breakdown of the price points for the new products.

New Sony Inzone gaming accessories:

Inzone KBD-H75 Gaming Keyboard (wired) -- $300
Inzone Mouse-A (wireless) -- $150
Inzone H9 II ANC Gaming Headset (wireless) -- $350
Inzone E9 In-Ear Monitor (wired) -- $150
Inzone Mat-F -- $60
Inzone Mat-D -- $35

Take a closer look at the new Sony Inzone gear below.

The KBD-H75 is a compact, 75% gaming keyboard with a aluminum, CNC-machined chassis and custom mechanical switches designed for long gaming sessions as well as productivity. Soft gaskets were used to dampen vibration and improve tactile feedback.

Each key's actuation is fully adjustable, and there's a built-in rapid-fire feature that can be activated by toggling the input button. The dial on the top-right side of the KBD-H75 can be programmed using Sony's Inzone Hub; you can save custom settings that can be quickly cycled through.

The keyboard connects to your PC via a detachable USB-C cable and has a polling rate of up to 8,000Hz.

The Inzone Mouse-A is a lightweight (48.4g) wireless gaming mouse with up to 90 hours of battery life. To make it feel solid and durable, Sony says it used hollow glass microspheres--additives to reduce weight--in combination with a synthetic polymer frame.

The Mouse-A uses a custom optical sensor boasting up to 30K DPI and a max speed of 750 IPS. Movements are registered via light, which Sony says increases speed. The custom sensor is complemented by a wireless signal with a polling rate of up to 8,000Hz, the same as the KBD-H75.

Like the original H9 Wireless Gaming Headset--which is excellent--the H9 II utilizes the audio driver from Sony's flagship WH-1000XM headphone series. This time around, that's the recently released WH-1000XM6 headphones, which retail for $450. Sony's Inzone H9 and the Inzone Buds have the best noise-canceling features we've tried in gaming-focused audio gear, and the H9 II should be even better with ANC while also offering improved positional audio. The leatherette ear cushions should also be similar to the XM6, just with a fuller form factor.

The H9 II has a detachable cardioid boom mic with ambient noise-filtering tech and a Super Wide Band mic. The H9 II supports 2.4GHz Wireless (USB-C adapter) and Bluetooth, including simultaneous connections on multiple devices, with up to 30 hours of battery life. The H9 II comes with a soft carrying pouch.

Another notable difference between the H9 II and its predecessor is the headband design, which looks similar to what SteelSeries does with its Arctis Nova headsets--the most comfortable gaming headsets around.

The Inzone H9 II will be available in white/black and an all-black color scheme at launch, matching the current lineup of Inzone headsets.

Sony calls the Inzone E9 an In-Ear Monitor for gaming, but yes, that's just fancy wording for earbuds. The E9 comes with two different styles of eartips and multiple sizes for each. The foam eartips are designed to isolate noise, and then there are also more traditional silicone eartips.

Sony says the E9 earbuds are its first "fully enclosed structure," which is intended to help with isolating specific sounds. The earbuds support virtual 7.1 surround sound and Sony's 360 spatial sound. Each pair of E9 gaming earbuds comes with the carrying case shown above.

Since the E9 earbuds connect via 3.5mm audio, you could use them on basically all of your gaming platforms and devices, but the Inzone Hub customization suite only works on PC, as does some of Sony's audio features.

This isn't Sony's first pair of gaming earbuds. Sony previously released a pair of noise-canceling wireless earbuds for PC and PlayStation consoles called Inzone Buds. We'd highly recommend the Inzone Buds for PC and PlayStation as well as mobile devices with USB-C--the Inzone Buds are limited to Bluetooth LE, so you need to use the dongle for most mobile devices. Sony raised the price of the Inzone Buds from $200 to $230 earlier this year, but you can grab a pair for $198 at Amazon. The Inzone Buds have ANC, whereas the E9 earbuds have noise isolation features.

To go along with its new keyboard and mouse, Sony is adding a pair of mouse pads to its Inzone lineup. Mat-F is a $60 mouse pad is 6mm thick and is designed for players who want to stop quickly. Mat-F is the finesse option.

Mat-D is 4mm thick and designed for players who consistently move their mouse without stopping.

These are medium-sized desk mats for your mouse; they are not the oversized kind with enough space for your keyboard.

Sony Inzone Headsets and Gaming Monitors

Sony Inzone's existing lineup includes gaming monitors, wireless earbuds, and multiple headsets.

Here's a look at Sony's previously released Inzone gaming headset lineup. It seems likely that the Inzone H9 will be discontinued, so we might see even lower prices on the premium headset soon. At the moment, you can save about $100 with Amazon's limited-time-deal.

Sony's Inzone lineup also includes a few high-end gaming monitors. Last year, Sony refreshed the lineup with the M9 II 27-inch 4K monitor and its first OLED gaming monitor. The original M9 4K monitor can still be found from third-party resellers (fulfilled by Amazon) for hundreds of dollars less than its successor.
