There are a huge number of matrix devices with no difference other than rating. This article adjusts some to make them more interesting and specialized.
Commlinks
Leviathan Technical LT-2100
This R:2 commlink[1] is distinguished from the bog-standard R:2 Sony Emperor[2] by marketing as "specially designed for underwater use". It is waterproof up to 100 meters and resistant to chemical intrusion. It integrates a Vectored Signal Filter[3] that provides it with two levels of Noise Reduction, but realistically does very little to combat the Noise[4] accrued by being underwater. The onboard microcamera also includes Low-Light[5], to ease taking pictures underwater.
It costs 2,000¥ with an Availability of 8.
Cyberdecks
Cantor-Kurosawa Analyst
This specialty deck's description[6] claims it has a recording suite in it, but lists no special properties. Add a Camera[7] (R:2) with Vision Enhancement[8] (R:2) and a Directional Microphone[5] (R:2) with Audio Enhancement[5] (R:2) with no change in cost.
Remote Control Console
Proteus Poseidon
This RCC is 2,000¥ more expensive than the Vulcan Leigelord[9], but is otherwise completely identical as published. It is waterproof up to 100 meters, resistant to chemical intrusion, and integrates a 50m spool of micro-cable attached to an antenna buoy.
