[Review] Eclipse Bluetooth Touch Mouse 1 Comment By The Duke on August 5, 2010 Here we are again back with more peripherals, and today we have on hand another MadCatz production, the Eclipse Touch Mouse. Boasting it’s Bluetooth capabilities and a 30ft range, we will see just how well this works. Since Bluetooth is still relatively new to the computer scene, you may want to do your homework and figure out if your computer is even compatible with the Touch Mouse. More and more of the newer computers/laptops have Bluetooth installed on them from the factor, but older...

[Review] Choiix Comforter Lapdesk 2 Comments By The Duke on July 29, 2010 With our on-the-go theme that we’ve been on lately, today we will be taking a look at the Choiix Comforter Lapdesk. With laptops being so prominent in the business and consumer worlds alike, and with more and more people finishing work at home, the Lapdesk is a product that could come in handy. Personally we hate it when you pull up your laptop to do some work on the couch or bed and by the end of that time your legs are all sweaty from the heat of the laptop. Plus, the weird angles that y...

[Blog] Microsoft Sidewinder X6 Keyboard 1 Comment By Krab on June 1, 2010 The Sidewinder X6 is one of Microsoft’s first gaming keyboards. Compared to a regular, basic, Dell one, it’s quite the fancy spectacle, with back-lit keys and a detachable keypad! Now, let’s take a look at the packaging. The keyboard is in a standard cardboard box. I don’t know how I can further describe cardboard boxes, maybe I can say it’s a rectangle? The design is pretty nice looking, but how much time do you honestly spend looking at cardboard boxes? A minute...
[Blog] Sony MDR-410LP Headphones 0 Comments By Krab on May 27, 2010 Normally, a pair of cheap, dollar-store headphones might last you at best a few months. And that’s true. I’ve gone through at least five pairs of cheap, low quality brands of headphones that were less than five dollars a piece. They break, they’re uncomfortable, their sound quality is horrible, and most importantly, they break! You might find that a wire breaks off, or some padding falls off after a few days of use. Or if that doesn’t occur, the sound quality degrades int...
[Guide] Converting your VHS collection to digital and a little more! 0 Comments By Archer on May 26, 2010 A lot of people have an old VHS collection gathering dust, or content that was purchased on their gaming device that must be kept on that device. What does it really take to get this content on to a DVD? Not much. Using a hardware video trans-coder, such as the ADS DVD-ExpressDX2 (does not work with Vista or later without software issues), a DVD+/-RW Drive and an external HDD for portability, converting a video collection as fast as you can play them (even direct to DivX) is pretty simple. So wh...
[Blog] Microkingdom USB Game Controllers 0 Comments By Krab on May 26, 2010 These Microkingdom USB Game controllers are reminiscent of ye olde PS2 controllers, but specifically designed for some classic gaming on your PC. You can substitute these for pretty much any generic controller, no brand in particular is really necessary. For about $10, you can pick up a pair of randomly named controller brands, which is pretty cheap. Several stores sell them, and these are pretty much identical knockoffs at the bottom of the rung. Let’s look at the actual design difference...
