FlexiGlow Cyber Snipa PC Gamepad 2 at HardwareLogic:

The design schematics behind the Cyber Snipa PC Gamepad 2 include taking the most popularly used keys during game sessions and relocating them to a specialized pad. The popular WASD directional controls take up a butterfly formation, similar to that of Ideazon's Merc and ZBoard peripherals, giving your fingers more surface area to play with to prevent accidentally pressing the wrong key. The Q and E keys, often used to peek around corners, open doors, or use objects, make up the top portion of the winged controls.


Netgear XE104 Powerline Ethernet Switch at HEXUS:

Now up until the arrival of the Netgear XE104, my only option was to run a couple of switches and then lay Cat5 between them and the router, which would keep the cabling to a minimum. But, as anyone who has ever tried to run cabling up a flight of stairs or around the edge of a room with laminate flooring will know, this is a major problem to keep it discreet. Perhaps it’s my half-arsed DIY skills but I always end up with something looking like a scene from Star Trek after the Enterprise has taken a hit... cables dangling everywhere. It wouldn’t be so bad if there was a semi-conscious Seven Of Nine lying in the hall too but I’m never that lucky.


Logitech Wave Cordless Desktop at XYZ Computing:

With an more people than ever using their computer for multiple hours a day, the focus on comfort is an increasingly important trend with input devices. The Wave keyboard's design is not nearly as drastic as some other models available, but the intention is the same- to put a person's hand in a position that is comfortable and ergonomically sound. The does this by slightly turning the outer edges of the main block of keys to prevent the wrists from being at an unnatural angle and by giving a wave contour to the keys so as to match the varying lengths of your fingers. The Wave also uses a padded wrist rest and tilt adjustments that can place the keyboard at three different heights in order to match the user's preference.


Corsair VX450W PSU at HEXUS:

Our testing showed strong voltages across all rails, the single +12V rail only dropping a small amount, despite the very heavy load being drawn across it. The +5V and +3.3V results are also very strong, neither dropping more than 0.1V below the ideal.


Sony RDR-HXD870 Digital Video Recorder at TrustedReviews:

But focusing on this feature is like reviewing a Ferrari and only talking about its wing mirrors – there’s tons of other exciting stuff elsewhere. Not least the deck’s 1080p upscaling capabilities, which lets you boost the resolution of DVDs as well as your own recordings. Yes that’s right – after all these years you can finally watch Gardener’s World in 1080p.


Tikki Aquarium case mod at Bit-tech:

The painted top needed...something. Ah, yes...a light! After all, fish can't see in the dark, and neither can we. Fortunately, we had stumbled on this LED contraption just looking for a home. It can do seven colours, which seemed great since so many fish lights are boring, one colour affairs.


Sharp LC52XD1E 52in LCD TV at TrustedReviews:

If you really want the best chance of appreciating what a full HD resolution can do, you need to see it working on really big screen. For it’s a simple fact that the full HD benefits of enhanced resolution, reduced image noise, and subtler colour blends become easier to see the bigger your screen gets. Cue Sharp’s LC52XD1E LCD TV: at 52in the joint biggest, genuinely affordable full HD screen in town, alongside Samsung’s sensational LE52M87BD (reviewed a few weeks back).


Logitech Alto Notebook Keyboard Dock at The Tech Zone:

Myself, I'm currently using the Ergo Riser Aluminum Laptop Stand from LapWorks in tandem with a wireless keyboard from Logitech to achieve a near desktop-like experience with my laptop. I can achieve the same all-in-one transformation with this latest Logitech creation. The Logitech Alto combines a laptop stand with a full-sized QWERTY keyboard, complete with numerical keypad, hot keys, and a palm rest area just beneath the space bar.


SOYO FM-SY-SLIM20GB 20GB 1.8" SlimEx Platinum at Benchmark Reviews:

There is no space wasted inside the SOYO FM-SY-SLIM20GB 20GB SlimEx Platinum External USB 1.8" Hard Drive. Think of it as a tiny 1.8" hard drive with a thin aluminum case molded around it, and you will have just revealed the engineering behind the FM-SY-SLIM20GB.


Super Talent 2GB 200x USB Flash Drive at Virtual-Hideout:

What I haven't mentioned yet is the speed of this 2GB flash drive. On the package it's rated at 200x. The 200X version delivers breath-taking data transfer speeds in excess of 30MB per second. 200x is very impressive and should boast well in the test. Some other features include password protection and support for Windows Vista Ready Boost (optional.)
