Corsair has been pretty popular with the enthusiast and PC performance crowd – most of which also happen to be gamers obsessed on pushing 3D framerates – for years now, mainly because of the brand’s solid line of memory modules, solid state drives and power supply units. They’ve just announced a new line of performance peripherals called Vengeance, made up of two gaming mice and two keyboards that specifically target – initially, at least – FPS players and MMO/RTS players.
The title pretty much says it all, but just in case you’re a true-blue Windows user and have no idea what Apple’s Magic Trackpad, it’s basically a large trackpad, a separate accessory not unlike that touch panel on your laptop, but bigger. Logitech’s Wireless Touchpad is pretty much the Windows version of the Magic Trackpad that Apple introduced back in July, featuring a five-inch surface that supports multitouch gestures for getting that tablet feel on a desktop (or laptop) PC.
Wireless keyboards are pretty handy if you like uncluttered desktops, but they come with a glaring downside: they run out of juice eventually, so you’re regularly going to have to connect charging cables. Last year, Logitech announced a way to get around that little problem by launching the K750, a wireless keyboard that rocks several solar panels on top that allows it to work and charge continuously without having to connect a charging cable. Recently, Logitech introduced a new model for Mac users. The Wireless Solar Keyboard K750 for Mac is basically the same solar-powered animal, but redesigned with a Mac-specific keyboard layout.
Mad Catz has started shipping the Cyborg RAT 7 Albino, a performance gaming mouse that’s designed to… well, basically do everything you expect from a performance mouse and more. Sure, it comes with a 6400dpi sensor, but that’s not really what makes this mouse special; it’s the unconventional modular design that allows a user to change just about everything to get the perfect grip. And when we say ‘everything,’ we do mean that you can change everything on this kit. The design allows a user to adjust the mouse’s length, weight, and heck, even the height.
Just about every digital device these days, from the cheapest mobile phones to the newest tablets, feature a calculator function. Thanks to this easily-integrated function, we rarely see stand-alone calculators being used outside of physics classrooms anymore. But in case you’re the type of person who really needed an easily-accessible adding machine, but don’t see why you have to pack an extra calculator in your bag, here’s a good idea: slap a dedicated calculator onto something that you already carry with you, like a mouse. Canon did just that, by combining a basic calculator with a three-button Bluetooth mouse called the X Mark I Mouse Lite.
