Is the Decatxt a keyboard for the modern world?

There are a lot of different types of keyboards out there. Some boast being more ergonomic than others, while some are geared for specific purposes like gaming. Either way, we usually have a large rectangle littered with keys that will help us to put words in our head onto a screen. There have been some innovations, but how many of them shrink your keyboard down to the size of a deck of cards?

Logitech H820e Wireless Headset is as close to freedom you’ll get at work

We dredge through our mornings, coffee in hand, to get in the car to drive to our least favorite place: work. From the moment you sit down, you plug in and stay that way for hours. Those of you who have to use a headset know what a pain it is to get wrapped up in wires from wheeling around your space while taking a call.

Combimouse wants to change the way you work and play

While the peripherals you use for your PC might have changed over the years, there hasn’t really been anything that will “wow” you. There may be new shiny things that have faster DPI settings or backlit keys, but if you’ve seen one, you’ve seen them all. The keyboard and mouse are very separate items, but can you imagine a world where they were combined?

Y-cam Home Monitor – burglars beware!

If you live in a “safe” neighborhood, that doesn’t mean that the chances of being robbed have disappeared. If burglars decide that your home is a target and you’re not there, sad to say but there’s not a whole lot you can do. Getting a security system may give you some peace of mind, but you still won’t be able to know what’s going on if the alarm is tripped until afterwards.

RHA SA950i review – stylish do-anything headphones

I’m ashamed to say that I’m not really a fan of this style of over-the-ear outdoors headphone. In my opinion if you’re outside listening to music in all the noise and traffic why wouldn’t you isolate yourself from as much noise as possible with in-earphones? So with all that in mind, why am I reviewing these RHA SA950i headphones? Well to start with they look really good, and secondly because I was so impressed with the last earphones they sent…

bCODA Multishare USB Jak – share like you just don’t care

We love to share information with each other. Photos, videos, and articles can be uploaded and downloaded at a dizzying pace. Of course, most of the time we pass things on through our computer or show them off on our phones, but when you want to present things to a wider audience, say a family reunion or birthday party, it can be a little more difficult.

The Movi takes a film from good to amazing

So you like to shoot video, eh? Your camera may be able to capture the tiniest detail down to wrinkles in the face, but all it takes is one good jolt to ruin the magic. Gravity is your worst enemy when it comes to filming, because once you finish up a good day of shooting, you might be shocked to find that what you thought was a perfect scene has a major flaw in it. There are all sorts of…

No need to fear, MiiPC is here!

It’s a bit strange to think of how different things are now compared to twenty years ago. Having to worry about what kids might look up on a computer was almost a non-existent problem. Now children often know how to navigate technology better than their parents do, which could be an issue. Not to mention there’s no good way to measure how much time they (or their parents) spend on it.

The Mobile Blastmaster will lay down the beats

It has been a great many years since hoisting a boombox on your shoulder was a new “thing”. While the way we play our music has changed over the years, there are still some hilariously large options out there. No one wants to jam out to tunes by themselves on headphones alone, right? If you’re going to turn it up, you may as well have a huge stereo to pump it out.

RetroN 3 is bringing back your childhood

There was a time when games were much less (and sub-sequentially more) complicated. Tutorials didn’t take six or more hours, quick-time events didn’t exist, and it was all about skills. While there are still games out there that require some level of proficiency, you really can’t beat the classics. While they don’t really sell the consoles of old anymore, it doesn’t mean you can’t still play games from that time in gaming history.

Pro Controller U – Out with the new and in with the old!

There are some people who have more than one console sitting around their house, but mainly stick their favorite. If you happen to prefer your Xbox 360, but want to play on your Wii, your fingers might get a little confused as to button placement at the first. While you can and will get past that, you might prefer your Xbox controller over the Wiimote.

Sprint Kyocera Torque is just as tough as you are

Are the outdoors calling your name? If blazing trails and running from bears is your idea of fun, then you’re going to need gear that can stand all the rough and tumble situations you may face. While your tent and backpack are important, your phone is your safety net if anything should happen to you in the wild, and most phones are fairly delicate things.
