Third-Party peripheral manufacturer Wolf King is expanding their focus from dudes to ladies with a high-performance gaming keyboard and mouse combo aimed at the fairer sex. Check it out above. Nice, eh?

TheFeed has never spoken to a woman before (except this one girl at this party, but she was kind of fat), so we decided this was a perfect chance to have actual contact with a for-real woman, you know ask her what she thought of the new gear. We caught up with actress, model, gamer, journalist and video host Yvonna "Coochie Dimes" Lynn, who answered our sterotypically sexist gamer-guy questions with great skill.

So, having seen the pictures of the Wolf King peripherals, what do you think?
I was offended. No unicorns, daisies, or Hello Kitty? WTH? 

Seriously, I thought the mouse looked OK. But I favor the Logitech G5. It fits my hand perfectly. The keyboard looked absurd initially…but to be honest, I truly like the way the WASD keys are placed. I am the only girl gamer I know who does not use a traditional keyboard because I love my Ideazon Merc Stealth. I know a few guys who use a Zboard, so perhaps calling this a girl gaming keyboard is sexist (or simply marketing). On the other hand, it may very well be less intimidating and decrease the learning curve on gaming for girls new to PC games.

Would you like these better if they had a lilac scent?
Lilac not so much- but vanilla, you betcha.

Would these be better if they were water-proof, for your bath?
The games I play in the bathtub don’t require a keyboard.

Would you rather have a mouse in the shape of a rolling pin or a keyboard shaped like a pot roast?
Neither, I’d rather have my computer/gaming room decorated to look like a kitchen, then I could feel at home even if I were playing a game on one of my consoles.

Will these peripherals make it easier for you to play Barbie’s Horse Adventure?
Not unless a pink riding crop came included in the Collector’s edition of Wolf King’s Warrior pack.

You could kick my ass at Halo 3, and I find that sexy. Do I have a problem or do you? 
Uh, problem? Neither.

How do you find time to play all these games between cooking, cleaning and pregnancy?
It wasn’t easy but I have a mini fridge by the couch with a microwave on it and bought and I-robot to do all my cleaning. As far as being preggers, I only have gold man babies so pregnancy is never a problem.

As established, you can beat me at probably at anything (except Backgammon and Uno, of course) but TheFeed’s Bleahy has thrown down the gauntlet and offered to pwn you; you pick the game. Will you take his challenge in order to defend your gender?
“Pwn”? Is Bleahy 14 or are we in 2004? (Ed. Note: Bleahy didn't say "pwn," It was me, sjohnson. I'm the 14 year-old in 2004.)  As far as playing, sure! I just found out I’ll probably be in a tournament in a few weeks with my clan (girlzdestruct.com) So maybe Halo 3? We’ll have to find a time though. In addition to gaming, I am doing a Voice Over for a new game, working my day job, and doing a little acting and doing all of these before Christmas. (Ed. Note 2: Bleahy said "It's on like Donkey Kong...Country. And furthermore, you'll have to get back in the kitchen after I destroy you.'")

What’s your favorite baking game?
The only baking I do irl or in gaming is Cooking Mama. My skills are much more at play in the other rooms of the house. 

Do you own all The Sims expansions or just “Making Magic.”
Sims, no. Spore, yes please. Playing a game of a guy playing a game in a house is not fun. However, creating a 6 legged, 2 mouthed, 3 tailed eating machine that I will use to devour the universe sounds like a helluva lot of fun.

Thanks, Coochie Dimes. You're the tops.
