This week, I am going review a lot of interesting products from SteelSeries, who makes "professional gaming gear". I will start with the Apex, which is a keyboard designed with PC gamers, specifically MMO ones, in mind. I will start with the color colors. Not only does it have the cool side lights, but sections of the keys can light up. You can use 5 independent color … [Read more...] about SteelSeries Part 1: The Apex Gaming Keyboard

D-Link Wireless AC1750 Dual Band Gigabit Cloud Router
It isn't every day that I get to review a router, and I must admit that I am a little late on this one. I received this last week, but I only reviewed it last weekend. Yes, I know I am a little late on this review. Dude, I've got other things going on, man. The D-Link AC1750 is that big can that you see there. It is the Next Generation 11AC Wi-Fi, which means that is good … [Read more...] about D-Link Wireless AC1750 Dual Band Gigabit Cloud Router
World’s Thinnest Keyboard revealed at IFA
I haven't really spent a lot of time discussing any revelations at the IFA tech convention in Berlin, but today I'll be discussing one thing that is so big that it is small. I am talking about the world's thinnest Bluetooth keyboard by CSR. It has a flexible touch-surface, and the thickest part of it is less than 0.5 mm thick. It was created using a printing technique from … [Read more...] about World’s Thinnest Keyboard revealed at IFA
Monitor2Go from MMT
Every once in a while, I see a product a convention, and don't have a chance to actually review it until years later. Such was the case with the Monitor2Go from MMT. I first saw it as a portable second screen for a computer, and it is that. The advantage is that the Monitor2Go can fold up in its metallic shell and travel with you quite easily. If you have an outlet handy, … [Read more...] about Monitor2Go from MMT
All-in-One Mouse and Camera from Genius
Just to let you know, the "Genius" that the headline is referring to, is a company with that particular title. I have seen them at conventions, but I would have to say that this All-in-One Mouse and Camera is genius. I don't know if you might need a mouse that is a camera, but I don't see why not. After all, if you ever have take pictures of items by your desk, it is a lot … [Read more...] about All-in-One Mouse and Camera from Genius
Welcome to an age of KeMice!
I mentioned in my recent report on the Haptix that the mouse is an interface that probably needs some kind of update, and I found another one today with KeMice. The KeMice (which I assume is pronounced Key-mice) is unique as it is a keyboard that can split down the middle. You can see a video after the jump of how handy it is when you want to type with a huge gap between … [Read more...] about Welcome to an age of KeMice!
Haptix is set to change the way we interface with computers
Every once in a while, I see some sort of technology that has the potential to change just about everything. I really think that we have a weird way of interfacing with our tablets and smartphones via touchscreen, but most people interface with PCs and laptops with mice or that touchpad that I never use. The Haptix is a Kickstarter project created by Darren Lim and Reactiv … [Read more...] about Haptix is set to change the way we interface with computers
Windows Blue (Version 8.1) is coming, and it is free
For a while, Microsoft has been talking in code about Windows Blue, but as to what it is...well, we now know. Windows Blue is apparently Windows 8.1, and it will be a free, yes, free update. I'm not certain why there was all this secrecy, but Microsoft apparently broke the news with a call to its shareholders. I guess some big unveiling was out of the question, eh? … [Read more...] about Windows Blue (Version 8.1) is coming, and it is free
The Spark Digital from Blue Microphones
I can honestly say that I have been a big fan of Blue Microphones for many years now. The last thing I reviewed from them was Tiki USB microphone, and I was pleased to review another USB microphone, the Spark Digital. The Spark Digital reminds me of another Blue Microphones product known as the Yeti. The Spark Digital is lollipop in shape, and the Yeti looks like a … [Read more...] about The Spark Digital from Blue Microphones
Leap Motion, and how it will change a lot of things
Does anyone think it is odd that video games like the Kinect and the Wii are almost completely motion-controlled, but your computer still uses a mouse? Why not adopt Leap Motion? If you are not familiar with Leap Motion, it is like a touchscreen without a touchscreen. It has so many uses like drawing in the air for an art program. Then there is the FPS that uses your … [Read more...] about Leap Motion, and how it will change a lot of things
Combimouse puts a mouse and keyboard in both hands
What you are seeing here is the Combimouse, which is essentially a way of making the keyboard and mouse all into one thing. The Combimouse is one of those Indiegogo projects, which means it needs your funding to make it real. Now, what you are seeing in the photo is what the Combimouse looked like a few years ago. You can watch a video the Combimouse on the Indiegogo … [Read more...] about Combimouse puts a mouse and keyboard in both hands
Sonic Alert Sonic-connect 2 is another method of notification
Some of you might remember when I reported on that EMBRACE+ Kickstarter project with those bracelets that flash when receiving an e-mail. I had a chance to try out the Sonic-Connect 2, which takes the concept of flashing notification on a less portable level. Simply put, the Sonic-Connect 2 plugs into a USB port on your computer and will inform you if you receive e-mails, … [Read more...] about Sonic Alert Sonic-connect 2 is another method of notification
MiiPC is a computer for your kids, controlled by a parent’s smartphone
I'm beginning to think about changing this blog to focus on Kickstarter or other crowdfunded sites, as this is where the best new technology is coming from. Forget those big companies, man. Now, the MiiPC (not related to the Miis from Nintendo Wii) is an interesting machine as it is a mini computer made to be connected to a big screen. From here, the user, and it is … [Read more...] about MiiPC is a computer for your kids, controlled by a parent’s smartphone
