A wireless keyboard with tri-mode connectivity
Starting the new range here is the AW920K, alienware first wireless gaming keyboard with tri-mode connectivity. If you’re curious what tri-mode connectivity entails, that means you can use this keyboard wirelessly with the included 2.4GHz USB-C dongle or via Bluetooth 5.1. The third mode of connectivity is achieved by connecting the included USB cable to the keyboard and your desktop so you can game without worrying about battery life. Speaking of battery life, you can expect up to 42 hours using the 2.4 GHz connection or up to 46 hours using Bluetooth. Here you will find CHERRY MX Red key switches, offering smooth linear operation while being rated for a life cycle of 100 million activations. There’s also per-key AlienFX RGB backlighting so you can really customize this keyboard to suit your setup. Another new feature here is the programmable toggle switch and dial that can control your system audio or other actions when changed in the Alienware Command Center.
Alienware also unveiled a new Lunar Light colorway for its AW420K keyless gaming keyboard that debuted last fall. If you prefer lighter colors for your gaming setup and want to save space, this keyboard is a great fit overall.
Two new Dolby Atmos gaming headsets
Along with the two new keyboards above, you can also check out the brand’s two new gaming headsets that both support Dolby Atmos audio. The AW720H dual-mode wireless gaming headset starts here. You’ll be able to use this headset with your PC or consoles via the included 2.4GHz USB-C dongle or a wired 3.5mm connection with battery life offering up to 30 hours of playtime with a quick 15 hour charge. minutes allowing you six additional hours of play. Alienware has implemented certified high-res 40mm drivers here with Dolby Atmos support to create 3D surround sound so you can hear exactly where the noises are coming from. Volume controls and game/voice mix controls are located on the ear cups so you can focus on your games.
On the other side of the table, you’ll find the AW520H wired gaming headset. Here you’ll find essentially all the same features as the AW720H above, but notably, this option is wired only.
Comfort, precision and accuracy
These are the hallmarks of a good gaming mouse, and Alienware aims to deliver its brand new AW620M wireless gaming mouse. You’ll find all of the brand’s latest technologies built right in here, including its patent-pending magnetic force L/R touchpads. You can expect tracking IPS up to 650 and DPI settings up to 26,000 for fast and accurate shots while gaming. The minimalist design and lighting here means that battery life can reach 140 hours on a single charge with a five-minute recharge providing an additional 10 hours of play. Although this mouse doesn’t have as many programmable buttons as some others, it’s still good enough for RPG and MMO games with textured grip areas allowing you to hold the mouse securely.

I always love seeing brands update their product lines and add new features over time, and Alienware delivers here. I wish the AW720H gaming headset had Bluetooth support in addition to 2.4GHz wireless so you can take it on the go with your phone more easily, which is basically the only complaint I have to these new announcements.
