Well, GameStop’s sale ad for May 13-17, 2011 is out and there are quite a few interesting promotions to keep in mind when shopping for games. It’s a great week for picking up PS3 Move games and accessories, for example. Plus, there are a number of other discounts that could appeal to both console and PC gamers.

The two Move deals made the front page of the ad, so let’s start there…

Nintendo said support for the DS would not support after the 3DS is released. Battle & Get! Pokémon Typing DS is a good example of that promise. This game will be released in Japan in April 2011. Battle & Get! Pokémon Typing DS is geared toward improving the typing ability of children and adults. Including Pokémon just adds a familiar visual flair to the package. Speaking of package, Battle & Get! Pokémon Typing DS‘ packaging happens to include a keyboard.

CompuExpert is going to be attending CES 2011 this year, but you don’t be able to just walk up to its booth on the floor and start seeing some of its latest accessories for gamers. The only way you’ll be able to see Sharkoon headsets, Mionix gaming mice and Raptor-Gaming keyboards between January 6-9, 2011 is if you make an appointment. Well, you could also head to the CompuExpert website to look for retailers carrying them, since almost many of the items coming to the show are already available, but it’d be much better to see and try them in person…

You are a musician bordering on rockstar. In a few years time, you will graduate to rock God. Reaching this level won’t be easy. It requires extensive practice with some of the most popular songs ever created. Such feats are not possible with plastic guitars with numerous buttons. You need to use real instruments, and Rock Band 3 has you covered. Now nearly every MIDI keyboard and drum set you have can be used in Rock Band 3‘s Pro mode.

Choosing which console you want to buy Rock Band 3 for just got simpler. The majority of gamers out there have an abundance of plastic guitars, drums and microphones by now. At this point buying these instruments all over again is just silly. The Rock Band 3 keyboard is just one more peripheral we can add to our growing collection. But if you own a PlayStation 3 in North America, you won’t be able to buy both the game and keyboard in the same package.

Mad Catz is one of the first companies that come to mind when talking about videogame peripherals and accessories. With all the information coming out about Rock Band 3, it’s only natural we start seeing some alternatives to the standard equipment. RB3 features redesigned instruments that being an extra level of realism when playing on Pro mode.

I don’t like to encourage text message speak, but if you rely on it to get through your daily emails and instant messages, you may want to pick up the Fast Finger keyboard that’s one of the highlights of New York’s 2010 Toy Fair. You can even buy one right now for $22.99.

The keyboard was created with children and “hunt and peck” typists. You plug it into your computer’s USB port, and can instantly start using it. If you haven’t learned how to type yet, or have problems with standard keyboards, you can set it up so you the keys correspond to the white letters on them, meaning the keyboard is in alphabetical order. If you have, you simply hit a button and it will turn into the standard QWERTY keyboard and the keys correspond to the red letters. You switch back and forth easily by pressing the F button above the F5/FYI key.

The most eyecatching features of the Fast Finger Keyboard are the shortcuts. Looking at the image above you can easily see there are internet home and email shortcuts and the shortcuts to control any DVDs, Blu-ray discs or music you could be listening to. But it’s the shortcuts below, combined with the F1 through F12 keys that are unique. Each key corresponds to a different instant message acronym…

If you have noticed extra typos on the site the past month, there is a reason (and no, I have not developed especially fat fingers).
