Genius’s Pen Mouse uses a 2.4 GHz wireless technology to connect to desktops and notebooks via a USB. (more…)
Genius has been making the Pen Mouse for a while now. This mouse looks like a fountain pen. The company has announced a new updated version of the mouse under the official name the Wireless Comfortable Pen Mouse.
The new version of the mouse features 2.4 GHz wireless technology and a 1200 dpi optical sensor. The mouse ships with a wireless pico receiver that is small enough to allow you to plug the receiver into the USB port of your computer and leave it. The mouse will work on just about any Windows computer and features three buttons.
The mouse supports hyperspeed scrolling, 4D scrolling, works in both hands, and has a touch scroll feature. Sensitivity of the mouse is also adjustable to both 400 and 800 dpi. The mouse sensor is designed to work on just about any surface. Genius says that the mouse will work on clothing, your hand, desktop, and just about anywhere else.
The mouse features a smart power saving function that automatically starts the sleep mode when the mouse isn’t in use. The user can press any key to wake the mouse up. The mouse is available in carbon gray or silver for $49.99.
Thanko is now selling “Air Mouse” which is a wireless mouse unified with a keyboard. By Internal gyro-censor recognizing the tilt, it allows you to move the mouse cursor, to click and scroll in the air. While mouse and keyboard operations can be very effective wirelessly, this product is interesting in that it combines both and is so compact. Users can basically operate their computers remotely with a palm-sized mobile unit. When you don’t use it, the mouse operation stop …
Genius has taken the wraps off its latest mouse for gaming. Enter the Genius Gil professional gaming mouse, which is launching under the company’s GX Gaming Series. A 2013 CES Innovations Award Honoree, the Gila gaming mouse features 12 nifty buttons and a “Sniper Mode” for situations that require pixel perfect precision. By enabling the aforementioned mode, users can slow down mouse movements to a dpi of their choice by simply holding down the assigned button. (more…)
Logitech has outed a new keyboard, the UC Solution for Cisco 725-C, complete with dedicated VoIP controls and a caller ID display. The new ‘board – which Logitech says pairs up neatly with its C920-C webcam and M525-C wireless mouse – is designed specifically to work with Cisco’s Jabber service, allowing users to throw out their desk phone and instead handle incoming and outgoing calls, voicemails, and more from their PC peripherals.
Dedicated buttons for answering/ending calls as well as muting are present, with illumination so that you can be alerted to an incoming call even if you have the volume shut off. The voicemail button also lights up when there are new messages.
As for the other companion peripherals, the M525-C mouse comes with one of Logitech’s Unifying receiver dongles, which can plug directly into the K725-C keyboard, and has a scroll wheel and rubberized grips. The C920-C webcam can handle up to 1080p video at 30fps, and includes stereo microphones and onboard H.264 encoding for reducing computer processor strain.
Obviously you’ll need a Jabber system in order for the bundle to be any use to you, but we can envisage Logitech developing another version of the keyboard targeting home users instead, perhaps with Skype controls instead. As for the K725-C, that’ll land in March 2013 priced at $269.99, complete with both webcam and mouse, while the C920-C webcam will also be sold separately at $109.99.
How many buttons do you have on your mouse? Two? Three? No wonder your friends laugh at you: Genius knows that, for any PC person to be taken seriously, they need a full twelve buttons on their mouse. The new Genius Gila Professional Gaming Mouse not only looks the part, thanks to metallic-finish inserts and LED lighting, but promises more customization potential than ever before.
That’s in both software and hardware, somewhat unusually. Each of the twelve buttons can be set to the function of your choosing, or assigned to one of up to 72 macros; they’re stored in the mouse’s own, onboard storage, rather than on your PC, so that in-game macro blocks won’t be able to prevent them from running, and meaning no setup time if you change system.
Five levels of precision – from 200dpi to 8200dpi – are supported, and the setting can be changed mid-game. Meanwhile, unlike a regular mouse (either computer or live), you can open up a panel on the base of the Gila and slot in up to six of the supplied weights, each 4.5g, to adjust the heft of the peripheral to suit your preferences.
As for the lighting, that can be tweaked from ubiquitous-but-perhaps-a-bit-2000s-now blue to any of 16m different colors, complete with selectable brightness and pulsation. A double-braided cable and gold-plated jack round out the key specs.
The Genius GX Gaming Series Gila mouse is on sale now, priced at $99.99.
Keyboard and mouses made of Bamboo are nothing new, but it is always a welcome surprise to see that companies or resellers like eSupply are still offering such a product in Japan. The new products are, for the keyboard at least 100% QWERTY and not Japanese Qwerty giving the possibility for anyone to use it and this not only in Japan. While both models are USB, only the mouse is actually wireless and powered by battery. Announced at 4,180 Yen for the Keyboard and 3,180 Yen for the mouse these …
A couple of days ago, Mad Catz teased their new GameSmart lineup of peripherals that focus on mobile gaming. We knew very little of these devices until today. At CES, the company showed up the new hardware, and we ended up getting some hands-on time with the new R.A.T.M and the M.O.U.S.9 gaming mice, the former which is the company’s smaller mobile version, and the latter being the bigger brother of sorts.
The R.A.T.M is surprising small, and while it may not fit comfortably in the hands of the larger folks, you’ll be certain that the mouse will fit perfectly in your traveling bag. The R.A.T.M is the first mouse to combine Bluetooth 4.0 with a gaming laser sensor, and a battery life that should last you for over a year.
The R.A.T.M is compatible with both Windows PCs and Macs, as well as a slew of smart TVs and tablets. The mouse also comes with a “Nano Dongle USB receiver” that clicks in snugly on the bottom of the mouse for increased portability. Lastly, there’s 12 action buttons (10 of which are programmable), and a 6400 DPI twin-eye laser sensor.
The bigger M.O.U.S.9 looks very similar to its smaller brother, but as aforementioned, it’s slightly larger than the R.A.T.M. It features the same Bluetooth 4.0 technology as well as the gaming-grade laser sensor. Just like the R.A.T.M, the mouse has a one-year battery life and is compatible with a range of products, including PCs, Macs, smart TVs, and tablets.
What does it feel like holding a CES Design and Innovation nominee in your hand? If Genius is any indication, it feels an awful lot like a $100 mouse. A pretty nice $100 mouse, mind you — one with all sorts of flashing lights and rubber-injected sides. The Gila GX Gaming Series fits nicely in the hand, as one might expect from a peripheral designed for extended MMO marathons. It’s also got a nice weight to it already, but if that’s not enough, that’s no problem: there’s a trap door in the bottom that opens up. Inside, you can slot a tray of watch battery-sized weights, which pop in and out to adjust the thing to a suitable level, up to 30 grams.
Also cool is the DPI gauge on top of the mouse, to let you know where you currently stand in the 200 to 8,200 range. There are 12 buttons jammed into the thing, and as you’d imagine, there’s button assignment and macro options, so you can set up to 72 keys on the thing. There’s also a slew of color options for the various lights on the mouse, in case the glut of buttons aren’t showy enough for your gaming needs.
Sadly, Genius isn’t quite ready to debut the second generation Ring Mouse, but we’ve been promised a glimpse in the very near future.
