Trittons Trigger headset now shipping, lets budget-minded FPS players keep their wallets fat

It has been a few month since MadCatz began shipping the primary of its four Tritton and Xbox 360 co-branded headsets (the $80 Devastator), and today the company’s announced that its $50 Trigger variant is now officially traversing mail routes. At a look, its nearly a dead ringer for the Devastator, offering stereo sound via a wired connection, but that 30 dollar price decrease comes with a trimmed-down feature set — there isn’t a Selective Voice Monitoring functionality, it packs smaller 40mm drivers (from 50mm), its in-line remote packs volume rollers as opposed to buttons and there is no mention of PMP-compatibility. Basically, the Trigger’s apparently aimed squarely at uping your in-game audio without breaking the bank — let alone that it’s especially tempting if you’ve just splurged at the latest Modern Warfare and Battlefield titles. As usual, you could find more info on the source link below and the total press release after the break.
