Hundreds of years ago, three golden Italian bakers bestowed the Tri-Pizza upon us. This heavenly dish grants anyone who is wise, powerful and brave enough to overcome his laziness for 15 seconds and call a hotline with boundless joy. Only the Prothean Bacon can exceed the Tri-Pizza’s potency. Society6 member Monstruonauta honors this sacred and tasty relic with an illustration.

Mmmmm. You can get the Tri-Pizza as a print or as a graphic on t-shirts, hoodies, iPhone cases and more on Society6.

Samsung’s Galaxy Gear smartwatch was one of the most highly anticipated wearable devices of 2013, but it didn’t quite make a mark. There have been reports of dismal sales, which is believed to be the reason why Samsung might launch a successor within just a few months of the original Galaxy Gear hitting the market. Samsung is actually expected to unveil the Galaxy Gear 2 at Mobile World Congress 2014 later this month, so its doesn’t come as a surprise to see the AT&T Galaxy Gear price being cut, though the price cut doesn’t come without a catch.

A name like Rapoo might raise some eyebrows, but you ought to take note that they happen to be a leading manufacturer when it comes to wireless peripheral products. Their latest addition to the market? The Rapoo E2700 multimedia wireless keyboard that sports a touchpad, which will happen to hail from the company’s highly esteemed Blade Series. The Rapoo E2700 multimedia wireless keyboard comes across as extremely slim, making it an essential tool when it comes to enhancing productivity as well as performance straight from the comfort of your couch. Apart from that, there is no need for you to make use of a separate keyboard and mouse whenever you opt to browse the web or enjoy multimedia thanks to its all inclusive design.

The Rapoo E2700 multimedia wireless keyboard would feature a scissor key structure that delivers a greater level of accuracy, reliability, as well as the perfect key stroke results every time. This does away with (or rather, minimizes the occurrence of) any typos since the micro-scissors will be able to distribute pressure evenly across the key surfaces, allowing each quiet keystroke that is made to be 100% correct all the time. Theoretically speaking, of course, although I am quite sure that test and focus groups for the Rapoo E2700 would have agreed to such an assessment before the company is able to make such a claim.

The Rapoo E2700 multimedia wireless keyboard would comprise of 80 keys, where it includes 13 hotkeys (i.e. volume, mute, and forward/back among others). Apart from that, the touchpad that is located on the right side of the keys would be placed where the mouse is supposed to be normally, ensuring you get to enjoy full media control with just one single swipe of a finger. It would be nice if there were to be a left handed version of this keyboard though, otherwise southpaws like me will just have to adapt – as usual.

Expect the Rapoo E2700 multimedia wireless keyboard to come with a tiny and unobtrusive nano USB receiver, allowing you to have it remain plugged into your device’s USB port all the time, as it operates on a 2.4GHz wireless frequency with a 360 degree range as well as a maximum of 10 meters of working range. The asking price for the Rapoo E2700 multimedia wireless keyboard stands at $49.99 as at press time.

Sony’s next generation flagship smartphone, the Xperia Z2, apparently codenamed “Sirius” is expected to be unveiled at the Mobile World Congress 2014 in Barcelona later this month. Over the past few weeks there have been countless rumors and leaks related to this smartphone, the most recent leaked images show us the device being compared against its predecessors, the Sony Xperia Z1 and the Sony Xperia Z.

We’ve featured a couple of unusual keyboard and mouse hybrid devices, but so far it looks like people like their devices just as they are – separate and not looking like devices you’d use to pilot an alien spaceship. I wonder if Solid Art Labs’ King’s Assembly will fare any better. At the very least it’s the least weird-looking of the bunch.

The King’s Assembly is a pair of devices (a left and a right “hand”) that each have an optical laser sensor, 35 keys with Cherry mechanical keyboard switches (30 in front and 5 near the thumb rest) and an analog joystick. Because you only get 70 keys at most, one of the keys can be set to serve as a modifier. Hold that down and you can access the secondary function of the other keys, giving you a total of 139 key mappings. Speaking of which, each device will have a preset key mapping, but you’ll be able to create new mapping profiles as well.

Each hand can serve as a mouse and keyboard on its own. But if you have both hands you’ll need to link them using the included interconnect cable if you want to use them in tandem. Once they’re linked, your computer will only see one mouse and one keyboard instead of two of each peripheral. Also, each hand has its own USB cable, but when they’re linked you only need to connect one of their USB cables to your computer. This means you can connect a pair of hands to two computers at once.

How will the two mice act as one? The King’s Assembly’s built-in Atmel microcontroller will average the input from the hands’ optical sensors and send that as one signal to your computer. That may sound weird, but we’re used to using just one of our hands to move our mice anyway, so that shouldn’t be a big problem. You’ll also be able to tweak the sensitivity of each hand’s sensor separately or even disable a hand’s mouse input altogether.

Finally, the joysticks will be useful in playing video games, but you can also use them as scroll wheels.

Pledge at least $110 (USD) on Kickstarter to get one King’s Assembly hand as a reward; pledge at least $200 and you get a pair. I think I’m good with my low-tech keyboard and mouse for work and daily use, but I can see myself using these for gaming.
