If you like your Harry Potter mixed with some Doctor Who, this is your lucky day. Here is a sonic screwdriver wand. You can make your own. But is it magic or science? It is both and it is amazing.
Both Harry and the Doctor would love this. It was created by Instructables contributor CabbitCastle. Someone wanted him to make a wand of the Tenth Doctor’s sonic screwdriver, so he made plans in Photoshop and used a lathe to make it. The wand box was made from poster board and foam pads, and naturally, it’s been decorated to look like a TARDIS.
Tutorials for each project are available so you can make both the wand and box. Now you are almost ready to cosplay as Doctor Harry Potter. All you need is a pair of glasses and trenchcoat.

I am quite sure that by now, most hardcore or serious gamers would have already found a particular gaming hardware setup that they are comfortable with, and it could comprise of different hardware manufacturers, or these gamers get all of their gear from the same manufacturer. If you are wondering whether a new mouse might be able to up the ante in your gaming career, then you might be curious enough to see what Swiss maestros Logitech has to offer with the Logitech G502 Proteus Core Tunable Gaming Mouse.
Being the latest member of the Logitech G mouse range, this Logitech G502 Proteus Core Tunable Gaming Mouse will be an extremely customizable mouse that will merge what is deemed to be the world’s first 12,000 DPI sensor alongside advanced surface and weight tuning in order to help the gamer in question maximize his or her victory potential. Of course, stuff like gaming tactics and the ilk will not be part of the equation, since that can only be drilled and achieved via a mix of practice and experience. Still, with the Logitech G502 Proteus Core, at least you need not worry about whether your hardware is performing up to snuff or not.
The Proteus Core will feature the Logitech G exclusive Delta Zero technology in what is deemed to be the world’s most powerful and accurate sensor, where it merges a huge DPI range of 200 all the way up to 12,000 with zero sensor acceleration, zero smoothing or filtering, and zero pixel rounding, letting you track movement at 300 inches per second. You can also calibrate the sensor against a gaming surface’s unique physical and reflective characteristics, allowing it to reconfigure itself for optimal performance all the time. 11 programmable buttons also make your life easier courtesy of the 32-bit ARM processor that controls Proteus Core’s onboard memory. For those who are interested in the Logitech G502 Proteus Core Tunable Gaming Mouse, you can expect to see it arrive Stateside and Europe this month, where it will carry a recommended retail price of $79.99.
