Back in April, we saw the first Iron Man 3 computer mouse turn up for gaming geeks who also happen to be comic book geeks. The mouse is made by a company in a Hong Kong called E-Blue. That company is at it again with an updated version of the computer mouse with a few changes .

Under the red and gold Iron Man armor exterior, the mouse has the heart of an optical gaming peripheral. It has onboard sensitivity switching ranging from 500 dpi up to 4000 dpi. It also has six buttons that use mechanical switches. Gamers can also choose their own polling rate using a switch on the bottom of the mouse.

The polling rate can be switched from 125 Hz all the way up to 1000 Hz. Keep in mind that this mouse does use a USB cable rather than being wireless – which is best for gaming. If that wire isn’t a deal breaker for you the mouse is available now for $73 over at Brando.

Let’s hope the mouse has better quality control than the bad translations and typos in the descriptions above.

When we reviewed the larger relative to this Lenovo Flex 20 earlier this year in the company’s infamous Horizon Table PC, we found that it was only the basics that were holding us back: it was just too big. Here with the Lenovo Flex 20, it would appear that the team behind that larger beast […]

JBL has unveiled a new set of USB-powered speakers called Pebbles. The speakers have an interesting design that looks a lot like a snail shell – enough like a snail shell to make Gary the Snail jealous.

The JBL Pebbles speakers have their odd looking snail shell style because they’re designed to be laid flat on their side or stood on the flat bottom section vertically. Inside the snail shell cases are a pair 50 mm drivers. Some room inside the case is also used for a bass reflex zone to help improve low-end response.

The speakers have a built-in DAC which supports 16-bit 48 kHz audio – this allows the speakers to skip over your computer’s built in audio circuitry, feeding a digital signal directly to the speakers. Audiophiles hoping for 24-bit quality may be disappointed, but for most of us the speakers should provide plenty of audio quality.

The speakers are USB powered so they need no external power adapter, and have an extra 3.5mm audio input for other devices. The Pebbles are available in black or white each with orange USB cables and orange accents on the bottom.  The speakers will start shipping in Japan this month for approximately $60(USD).
