Hasta La Gadget!

Gaming peripherals, while pricey, are quite durable and full of features that even the sternest desk-jockey can appreciate. Recently, I saw a couple of LED-powered keyboards that had me drooling, since they lit up very brightly to highlight gaming keys. The Mad Catz RAT has always been an extremely good mouse for gaming, since it allowed you to get the perfect shape for your hands. If you don’t like to buy off-the-shelf peripherals like these, then check out this 3D-printed alternative.

Granted, the Statial mouse housing costs a lot more than I expected, but if you can get similar functionality to a higher priced mouse, then you’re still winning. The Statial is a cover that will turn any Logitech M100 mouse into an adjustable alternative. Each section of the Statial cover can be adjusted to fit the form of your hand. The Statial was designed by Pyott Design.

Unfortunately, the $69.99 price tag for the shell on Shapeways makes this kind of a non-starter, since you can buy gaming mice with more functionality for the same total price. Still, if you’ve got the blueprints and a 3D printer, you can always print your own custom mouse cover.

Sure, you may own the highest res Android tablet on the block, but is your Nexus 10 really all that special when it’s as naked as everyone else’s? Problem, meet solution: the Nexus 10 cover from Google. The $29.99 add-on hit the Play Store this fine day, which stands as the first official accessory for the larger of Google’s two tablets. The matte finish cover is available in dark grey and scarlet, which clips onto the slate without adding much bulk. As another nice touch, you can also wake and sleep the Nexus 10 simply by opening and closing its cover, which seems quite smart, if you ask us. Naturally, the Gorilla Glass 2 display of the Nexus 10 is plenty beefy already, but if you want that added layer of protection, you’ll now find it for purchase in Google Play.

Tablets, the final frontier. These are the clothes of the Apple iPad… No, really. These cool knitted Star Trek uniform tops are designed for your iPad to wear. They are made by Etsy seller KnitterWho, who is just a simple tailor, not a Cardassian spy.


It’s fitting (pun intended) that the iPad gets some Next Generation crew uniforms since the iPad first appeared on Star Trek: The Next Generation in the 24th century.

You can choose from several custom iPad covers styled like the uniforms of the Enterprise-D’s bridge crew. There’s Worf’s uniform with the sash, Command red, medical blue, security yellow, and the oh-so-special Wesley jumpsuit.

They’re all available over on Etsy, and sell for between $25 and $30(USD).

The murmurs surrounding a 10-inch Nokia tablet are growing louder, and they suggest that the company won’t just follow the herd. Tipsters for The Verge claim that the Windows RT slate would center on a Surface-style keyboard cover with its own twists. While the add-on would shelter the screen, it would also include a battery to supplement the 10-hour lifespan of the tablet proper. Not enough? It could carry a pair of USB ports and serve as a kickstand. There may be a chance of a US release, as well: Nokia’s tablet would supposedly include cellular access and head to AT&T in the US, much like its Booklet 3G ancestor. We’re not surprised that the Finnish firm won’t comment on the rumor, but we might not have long to wait for verification if the early 2013 release proves real.
