IONE Genimi R16 keyboard and mouse combo Review
Xtreme Computing :: Monday, February 12, 2007
“The Gemini R-16 isn’t the thinnest keyboard I’ve seen but it isn’t fat and chunky either as you can tell by the picture above using the tilt position making this keyboard quite comfortable to use but it would have been nice for them to include a wrist rest to support your wrist when typing.”
SteelSeries SteelPad 5L
Nippy Chips :: Monday, February 12, 2007
“SteelSeries sent in a SteelPad 5L to get bench tested about two weeks ago. I have been reviewing the 5L for about a week now, to get the full experience. I received the 5L about two weeks ago, but was prevented from reviewing it due to the fact that I was absent of a desk. Since then I’ve finished making my new workspace, which rocks. I engineered it with these peripherals in mind. I took account of the large size of the 5L, and other mousing surfaces to make a large keyboard tray. It measures four feet across, and has a depth of eighteen inches. Now I have plenty of room for the 5L, my keyboard, and my Razer mouse. Not only does the 5L stand out on the tray in contrast to the dark wood, but it blends at the corners where the pad is darker. Read on for the full review…”
Logitech diNovo Edge Keyboard Review![]()
OCIA :: Monday, February 12, 2007
“Before we move to the heart of the diNovo Edge, I wanted to show you just how slim this keyboard really is. The Edge measures just over 1/2” thick; 13mm to be exact. Extending the feet help raise the keyboard up a bit more, should you feel more comfortable with this typing angle. Logitech keeps with this slim design on the face of the keyboard as well. The majority of “accessory” buttons are flush with the plexi surface of the Edge. This only helps to add to the overall sleek appearance of the unit.”
nMedia 2.4GHz RF Wireless Keyboard w/ Trackball Review
Virtual Hideout :: Monday, February 12, 2007
“These smaller, multipurpose keyboards work great for HTPC setups, and look far better than a full size media center keyboard. With a maximum thickness of around 1.2″, this keyboard will not be in the way of anything. This is a full featured keyboard with big keyboard options found in a small footprint.”
Logitech MX Revolution Review
Digital Trends :: Monday, February 12, 2007
“Logitech holds the crown for the best mice and keyboards available for Windows today. The endless array of choices, from the corded to cordless and gamer to casual user, has made us ask, “What else is left?” How can something as simple as a mouse undergo so many revisions and still offer something fresh? Enter the Revolution MX and VX laser mice. Differences between the MX and VX versions are discussed at the end of the review, as we had both on hand to tinker with. ”

The I-Rocks IR7330 4-Way Navigation Laser Mouse is a very light, but robust 800/1600 DPI mouse. It offers more than the usual functionality and comes with a very small and slim piece of software to customize these. If you are a gamer looking for an ultra light mouse, this one may be for you. We won’t be distracted by the fancy blue scroll wheel and take a close look at form, functionality, feel and performance of this mouse.

Razer Krait Review
Overclockers Club :: Tuesday, February 06, 2007
“Well before I could start any testing with this mouse, I had to find a way to lower the sensitivity, as stock it comes so fast I could barley click on the close button on my windows. After installing the drivers I took a look at all the tweaks that I could perform to this mouse. First things first, I lowered the sensitivity from the max (10) down to something that felt closer to my old mouse (4). Now I was ready to go.”
Logitech LX 710 Cordless Desktop![]()
Modders Inc. :: Tuesday, February 06, 2007
Logitech has a wide variety of keyboard/mouse combos to choose from. They offer two Cordless Bluetooth versions and nine Cordless versions. Not long ago I looked at the MX 5000 Laser and Sheldog just took the diNovo Edge for a ride. Today we are going to have a close look at the LX 710 Cordless Desktop. The LX 710 offers several great features, while still staying practical.
Dell’s XPS M1210 laptop PC
Tech Report :: Tuesday, February 06, 2007
LIKE MANY THINGS IN the PC industry these days, laptop computers are a fairly mature sort of product. We all know about the basic types and sizes, and how the inevitable tradeoffs in display performance, size, weight, battery life and display real estate tend to work. If you’re a road warrior, you can get a svelte, compact machine with understated design cues and six hours of battery life; you’ll just have to sacrifice performance for that mobility. If you’re a gamer, you can get a graphics and processing powerhouse with Pontiac-style ribbed body cladding and a display large enough to double as the main sail on a small yacht; you’ll just have to accept the additional weight, heat, and battery drain that comes with it. For most of us, buying a laptop means deciding what set of tradeoffs we’re willing to make and then looking into the various choices in our preferred weight class.
The Dell XPS M1210, however, embodies an uncommon concept in portable computers. Like its bigger brothers in the XPS line, it looks to bring near-desktop-class performance into a mobile form factor. Unlike its sibilings, though, it targets the true ultraportable form factor, the featherweight class of laptops with 12.1″ wide-aspect displays. Combining these two goals may sound like a recipe for dissonance, but Dell has managed to pull off the feat with surprising style. The result is a laptop PC that packs more computing power per pound and per square inch than any other solution I can think of–you know, casually, while sitting here, not really Googling for it or anything.
The point is that the M1210 is both refreshing and really quite good, and we’ve worked up a full review of it for your reading pleasure. We’ve also taken the opportunity to compare the M1210 to a couple of older laptops in way that gives us a look at three generations of Centrino mobile technology.
5 Things You Need to Know About SLR Lenses
The Tech Lounge :: Tuesday, February 06, 2007
“There are two things I enjoy most in life. The first is photography and the latter, well…I like to tell people what to do. It makes me feel powerful. Strong. Like a small pony. Keep reading. One of the most common questions I get as related to photography is “what camera should I buy?” I’ve already answered that question (sort of) with a couple of previous articles. The next most common question (I mean next literally, as in directly after the previous question) is “what lens should I buy?” Well, that’s a tricky question because there simply is no one-size-fits-all lens. My goal in this article is to give you some basic knowledge about lenses that will help set you on the path to lens buying goodness, or if you’re like me, indecisiveness. Hey, it’s a start.”

Logitech diNove Keyboard
Missing Remote :: Monday, February 05, 2007
I know the Cons seem to outnumber the Pros, but I just love this keyboard. The main thing owners need to understand are it’s limitations. The touchpad clearly isn’t intended for full-time use, so don’t buy it thinking that it will. For occasional use, it works great, as does the rest of the keyboard. There’s definitely an adjustment period to learn how it all works & figure out the easiest way to the buttons, but it’s just a fantastic keyboard to own. It draws peoples’ eyes like a magnet, and has been more than capable at any typing I’ve had to do.
Razer Tarantula Keyboard
techPowerUp! :: Monday, February 05, 2007

Scorpius-M10 Mechanical Key Switch Keyboard![]()
Barry’s Rigs n Reviews :: Friday, February 02, 2007
“The original IBM PC keyboard was the most rugged and reliable in the industry, and the excellent tactile and audible feedback of its mechanical key switches became legendary. Although those classic-design keyboards eventually gave way to ones with softer, quieter membrane key switches, thanks to the folks at Ione Technology, the “click” of tactile and audible feedback is back with the Scorpius-M10 Mechanical Key Switch Keyboard.”
